You won’t take flight with this one, but the Jet Backpack from Italy’s O-Range will let you catch some air – inside the pack! The patented Air-range inflatable padding system is designed to replace the dense foam that most backpacks provide for comfort.
The water-resistant pack features an interior valve that can be inflated, and the idea here is to make the backpack both more comfortable while providing a bit of protection as well. It is also designed to be breathable to avoid all that sweat on the back. There are plenty of internal pockets to keep electronics dry, and the company even has a solar panel version available to charge up those electronics on the go.

When it comes time to look for a backpack, messenger bag or a simple sleeve for you iPad (or other tablet), the choices that are out on the market can be mind boggling. The options seem endless, but there is hope around the corner. While walking the show floor at SIA, we noticed a booth of bags with a look that was different from any others that we had seen before – simple, elegant and functional. Just about every pocket, closure and strap had a purpose. Once we learned that the bags were Italian designed and manufactured, it made even more sense. The company, O-range, has a product line worth looking at when the time comes to purchase that next bag or sleeve.
