A perfect solution for bikers: Backjacket, the jacket that turns into a backpack

The freedom of riding a motorcycle is a moment suspended in time; a kind of flight at ground level that connects you to the world, as if you were one. It is the freedom to feel the air like an old friend whispering stories in your ear. It is losing yourself in the movement of the landscape that unfolds before you like an endless theatre. 

It is the joy of escaping the tedium of traffic-clogged streets and stopping for no reason at any bend in the road, where the sun and the shadows seem to conspire to welcome you. It is the freedom to exist only in the now, with the roar of the engine as your only certainty. And in the end, when you arrive, you park as if life itself had opened the door for you, because in that brief and glorious moment, you feel that the whole world has been yours.

And then, in that instant, freedom vanishes: The helmet is heavy. The gloves are annoying. The jacket becomes an unbearable hug.

You know that reality is less poetic, so how about a solution that at least allows you to continue feeling free?

A novel solution lands for the benefit of bikers. Backjacket is a new concept that allows you to guarantee comfort and safety in equal parts in a common situation. Arriving at a destination and leaving all your equipment, including helmet, jacket and gloves, in each place. It can be frustrating... or not.

Because Backjacket is a new solution. It allows a jacket to become a backpack in less than a minute. It allows you to store both helmet and gloves in it and in a short time it is easy to unfold it and to pick it up.

Backjacket, a solution...The concept of Backjacket is based on freedom, one of the basic aspects of a motorcycle. The jacket allows you to generate comfort instead of the usual discomfort and fulfils both the safety and comfort aspects to enjoy the day beyond the journey. A visit, a trip...

The message of Backjacket is to improve all these experiences. In their own communication, they detail it. "How many times have you gone somewhere by car just to avoid having to carry everything or because it was going to be hot and you didn't want to leave your jacket on? How many times have you left your helmet in the trunk of your motorcycle for fear of not seeing it again? How much did you spend on that huge backpack to store everything? Backjacket exists to end that frustration once and for all," they say. 

It will make it possible to not have to look for a place to leave things or carry them in an uncomfortable way. Things would go on your back and it allows you to leave your hands free.

Features that make you feel safe...We use our Backjacket as an everyday jacket, and for that, it must provide maximum protection and versatility. That's why we've crafted the Backjacket with 600D Cordura fabric. It's waterproof, features Level 2 internal protectors, a thermal inner lining, and six ventilation slots—three in the front and three in the back—because only a rider knows what it's like to experience both cold and heat in the same day.

So, we got to work. We took some of our old motorcycle jackets, a broken backpack, bought thick thread and needles, some Velcro, buttons, and snaps, and started creating the first prototype.

After testing that first prototype, we knew we had to continue with the project. The feeling of getting off the motorbike and having your hands free was something we didn’t want to give up again.

The keys... In addition, it is based on four basic keys. The first is to free your hands. Another is time, with a simpler and easier solution. It does not require effort and it has style, from a 600D cordura plus its elegant and sporty design. And it is suitable for any situation. From February 18th, its pre-sale will begin on the Indiegogo platform and will have up to a 38% discount on the RRP.
