About Backpacks

The earliest backpack dates to 3300 BC, found with Otzi the Iceman in the Alps in 1991. This version had a wooden frame with a hide bag attached to it with strings and used to carry firewood in the Alps. The backpack was known as a knapsack in 1603. Later, the word rucksack was in use by the end of the 19th-century. Colonel Henry C Merriam designed a backpack for the infantry in 1894, the prototype of small, frameless backpacks popular today. Ole F Bergans patented a canvas rucksack with a curved metal frame that successfully shifted weight borne from the shoulders to the hips in 1909. Gerry Cunningham designed the first zippered backpack in 1938, and later, Dick Kelty made an aluminium framed backpack in 1952. These versions of the backpack are the basis of modern backpack design today.  

Initially used for military purposes only, the beginning of the 20th-century saw people use the backpack for leisure activities like hiking. Students began using the internal frame backpacks and small nylon backpacks to carry books instead of bags with straps in 1967. The Backpacks quickly gained popularity and became a way for students to express their identity and affiliation. 

The backpack is available in several types, from designer backpacks to specialized professional equipment made with new eco-friendly materials and technology. Express your style with the latest designer backpacks available with Style Theory today.
