A pack or backpack serves a dual purpose of carrying articles and offering a rapidly deployable protective garment for the wearer. The pack includes a main pack connected to a distal extension pack, with a garment concealed between them. The distal pack and garment may be simultaneously deployed by catapulting the distal pack over the wearer's head and onto their front torso to provide increased protective coverage and easier access to articles contained in the distal pack. The design of the pack provides quick access to protective garments that would otherwise take up storage room inside a compartment of a conventional pack, or be left behind when the conventional pack is carried.

Disclosed is a configurable bag having a main bag compartment defined by a foldable bag body configurable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration via a folding of the bag body, the main bag compartment being accessible via a closable opening disposed in the foldable bag body when in the first configuration. The configurable bag further includes a first securing means and a second securing means affixed to the bag body, wherein the first and second securing means are disposed out of position for connection when the bag body is in the first configuration. The first and second securing means are positioned for connection via folding the bag body into the second configuration. The first and second securing means are configured to secure the bag body in the second configuration when the first securing means is secured to the second securing means.

A luggage system for motorcycles whose cases, when removed from the motorcycle, can quickly be configured into a backpack. The disclosed invention comprises two brackets for attachment to the motorcycle, two large cases for carrying heavy equipment that have mirror image backpack straps built into them, and up to four accessory packs for carrying smaller items. The large cases have mating separating zipper components which, when zipped together, create a backpack.

A binder device including a body having a first cover and a second cover directly or indirectly pivotally coupled together and at least partially defining an inner compartment therebetween. The body further includes a binding mechanism positioned in the inner compartment, a first body securing device coupled to the body, and a second body securing device coupled to the body. The binder device includes a strap including first and second strap segments. The strap is movable between a first configuration wherein the first and second strap segments are releasably coupled together to form a continuous strap that is wearable over a shoulder of a user, and a second configuration wherein the first strap segment is releasably coupled the first body securing device and the second strap segment is releasably coupled to the second body securing device such that the first and second strap segments each at least partially defines a loop. Each loop is shaped and configured to receive an arm of a user therethrough such that the binder device is wearable on a back of the user in the manner of a backpack. Each strap segment is configured to be releasably coupled to only one of the first or second body securing devices.

A convertible backpack-duffle bag having six integral side walls forming an inner storage cavity, a plurality of storage compartments located on or within the side walls, one of the integral side walls forming a base, an expandable storage compartment located at the base, the expandable storage compartment having a thermal insulation layer, and a plurality of adjustable carry straps.

A luggage assembly includes a first bag and a second bag, each bag having a rear side with a number of fasteners that engage the rear sides of the other bag to attach them together. The rear sides also have an open slot near the top end to receive a dual bag strap extending between the bags, such that the bags may be used as saddlebags. The bags may further include bag handles near the top end of the bags, and an assembly handle extending between the bag handles such that the luggage assembly may be conveniently carried as a single unit. The luggage assembly also includes an individual bag strap that may attach to the fasteners on the rear sides such that the bags may be used and carried individually.

A convertible travel bag includes a first compartment, a second compartment rotatably coupled to the first compartment, and a third compartment rotatably coupled to the first compartment. The second compartment and the third compartment are rotatable between a backpack mode and a side-carry mode. In the backpack mode, the first compartment is positioned between the second compartment and the third compartment, and in the side-carry mode, the first compartment is longitudinally in line with both the second compartment and the third compartment.
