The 'Windcatcher Air Pakk' is a backpack that has a self-inflating padding system hidden inside, which can turn it into a pillow, sleeping pad, chair cushion.

The thickness of the padding could be adjusted between a quarter of inch up to 2 inches per side and the removable outer cover gives a place to set all the gear from inside the backpack, moreover it could also be worn like a messenger bag, CNet reported.

Ryan Frayne, the creator of the Air Pakk, recently posted a video showing him attempting to smash an egg inside the backpack by throwing it on the ground and the egg didn't break, which showed that the padded design keeps delicate items like laptops and tablets safe inside.

 

Windcatcher already captured Kickstarter backers' attention with a successful campaign for a self-inflating air pad that pulled in nearly 150,000 dollars in 2013. The 90 dollar Air Pakk has attracted over 18,800 dollars toward a 30,000 dollars goal with 28 days left on the project. Some of the pledge levels also include a next-generation version of the air pad.
