ABSTRACT:
A removable inflatable support and comfort bag that is designed to be inserted into a specially formed pocket built into the lumbar region of a backpack waist belt. The partially or fully inflated bag helps transfer the weight of the load of the backpack in the lumbar region of the user's back, providing relief from fatigue. The bag is in the form of an airtight, watertight bladder that is insertable into a lumbar pocket in the waist belt of a backpack, and is connected by a hose to a hand pump which includes a release valve. The waist belt may include a pre-molded pad with grooves for channeling perspiration and moisture away from the lumbar region.
