In an example, a wearable article includes a nonwoven textile sheet having a first portion and a second portion contiguous with the first portion. The first portion has a first density and a first modulus of elasticity. The second portion has a second density less than the first density and has a second modulus of elasticity less than the first modulus of elasticity. The first portion is shaped differently than the second portion as an integral implement of the wearable article. A method of manufacturing a wearable article may comprise thermoforming the first portion while the second portion contiguous with the thermoformed first portion is not thermoformed.

A backpack may comprise a main body defining a first compartment, a first shoulder strap extending from the main body, a second shoulder strap extending from the main body, a cinching layer disposed adjacent an exterior surface of the main body, a first cinching cord coupled to the first shoulder strap and the second shoulder strap, and a second cinching cord coupled to the main body and extending through at least a portion of the cinching layer, wherein the second cinching cord is slideably coupled to the first cinching cord such that a tension applied to the first cinching cord causes the cinching layer to apply a compression force from the cinching layer toward the front exterior surface of the main body.

Embodiments of universal adapter system including a receiver component having base portion configured to be coupled to a base belt worn by an individual and a locking mechanism which is operative to be engaged to a mounting bar of an adapter component that is secured to a dynamic load carriage apparatus, wherein the mounting bar is capable of a sliding action that compensates for a shift in load that is associated with the individual are disclosed. In operation, the receiver component may be engaged and disengaged from the adapter component while being worn by the individual using a single-handed operation.

A rucksack is provided with a first shoulder strap and a second shoulder strap, whereby respective end sections of the shoulder straps are connected with each other by means of a middle piece. The middle piece is continuously slidable along at least one guide element in a vertical direction of the rucksack. The middle piece is attached to a strap with a first free end and a second free end, whereby the free ends are coupled with each other in a way that permits a transfer of a tensile force. The strap is redirected at a first redirecting element and a second redirecting element, which are located opposite each other in the vertical direction of the rucksack.

A system comprises a first body, comprising: a backpack suspension; a first storage region; and a first portion of a first attachment mechanism. A second body comprises: a second storage region; and a first portion of a second attachment mechanism. A third body comprises: a third storage region; a second portion of the first attachment mechanism; and a second portion of the second attachment mechanism. In a first configuration, the first portion of the first attachment mechanism is coupled to the first portion of the second attachment mechanism. In a second configuration, the first portion of the first attachment mechanism is coupled to the second portion of the first attachment mechanism, and the first portion of the second attachment mechanism is coupled to the second portion of the second attachment mechanism.

A hybrid carrier, such as a backpack, is disclosed having a hard shell interior carrier and a soft outer carrier. The hard shell interior carrier has a body with an openable top. The shape of the body of the hard shell interior carrier and the inside shape of the soft outer carrier are complementary so that the hard shell interior carrier form fits into the inside of the soft outer carrier. The soft outer carrier includes attachment devices that are joined to attachment device receivers on the hard shell interior carrier to removably attach the hard shell interior carrier to the soft outer carrier. The soft outer carrier may include handles, backpack straps and/or waist straps for easy carrying.

The disclosure includes a modular carrying system comprising a day bag, a luggage bag, and a main coupling system. In some embodiments, the main coupling system includes a first portion coupled to the day bag and a second portion coupled to the luggage bag. The main coupling system may be arranged and configured to detachably couple the day bag and the luggage bag together such that the front side of the day bag faces the back side of the luggage bag.

A carry bag that is particularly suitable for events, such as concerts and sporting events. The carry bag includes a body defining an internal volume for containing objects and at least handle, shoulder strap or belt for carrying the carry bag at a designated position on a wearer. The body is formed by one or more opaque panels and at least one transparent inspection panel enabling visual inspection of the internal volume from externally of the carry bag. Additionally, the inspection panel is located such that it is concealed during carrying of the bag.

The harness system comprising: a harness comprising: a back supporting element; a first shoulder strap and a second shoulder strap; a waist strap; at least one upper back load fixing element, and at least one lower back load fixing element, wherein the at least one upper back load fixing element and the at least one lower back load fixing element are configured to fix the back load, a back load configured to be harnessed to the harness comprising: a body configured to contain gear to be carried; at least one upper anchoring element configured to correspondingly engage with the at least one upper back load fixing element, and at least one lower anchoring element configured to correspondingly engage with the at least one lower back load fixing element. A method for using the harness system and additional embodiments thereof are disclosed herein.

A soft-structured child carrier that includes a body panel having a bottom end attached to a bottom portion of the waistband, a first shoulder strap, a second shoulder strap, a first shoulder strap attachment panel attached to the interior side of the body panel away from the side edges of the body panel and a second shoulder strap attachment panel attached to the interior side of the body panel and away from the side edges of the body panel. The first shoulder strap attachment panel provides a first flap that is movable away from the interior surface of the body panel and includes a first lower attachment point for the first shoulder strap. The second shoulder strap attachment panel provides a second flap that is movable away from the interior surface of the body panel and includes a second lower attachment point for the second shoulder strap.
