[Disaster Prevention] What if swept away by a muddy current? A life jacket integrated rucksack that prevents your face from sinking.

In recent years, there has been an increase in guerrilla heavy rains and river floods. The scariest thing is being swept away by the raging waters and having your face submerged. Huh... with this backpack, I can naturally float on my back!?

A life jacket integrated with a specialized design for water disasters, allowing you to float on your back while protecting your face

The shoulder strap part is designed like a vest, featuring a "disaster prevention backpack that floats on water." The chest area uses thick buoyant materials, while the back and bottom employ materials of varying thickness according to their purpose. It is said that the buoyancy balance has been adjusted based on practical verification.

When entering the water, the design reduces the likelihood of the body turning face down, making it easier to float on your back. Care has been taken to ensure that the area around the face does not sink below the water's surface, which can alleviate the fears during turbulent water or flooding situations.

With drainage holes and a good fit, it maintains "ease of movement" during evacuation

In the event of flooding, the bag becomes significantly heavier when water gets inside. Therefore, 12 drainage holes are strategically placed at the bottom. This structure allows water that has entered to naturally escape.

The belt in the best part can be finely adjusted at the sides, chest, and top, making it easy to fit snugly to the body. Since the weight is distributed, it reduces the burden on the shoulders even after walking for a long time, thus decreasing stress during evacuation.

A pocket is provided at the front to keep items prioritized for emergencies. Inside, there is a larger open pocket that can fit A4 documents and a mesh pocket that clearly displays its contents.

Organize and store documents, disaster manuals, hygiene supplies, and more. The side pockets on both sides are designed for easy storage of drink bottles, folding umbrellas, flashlights, etc., while the pockets on the jacket part can hold lightweight disaster items like whistles, small lights, and portable toilets.

Lightweight and noticeable, it is useful for everyday activities as well as leisure.

The main body weight is lighter than about 2 bottles of 500ml PET, making it easy to carry even when evacuating with women and children. The capacity is 26L, allowing for the storage of not only disaster supplies but also changes of clothes, towels, and more.

The main body uses high-strength polyester fabric, while the buoyancy material employs low water-absorbent and highly durable polyethylene foam. Available in two colors, fluorescent yellow and fluorescent orange, for excellent visibility, making it easier to locate from a distance even in dark places or bad weather.

For those who honestly say “my disaster preparedness is lacking,” the optional 30-item disaster kit is recommended. It provides a complete set of tools necessary for evacuation life, ensuring peace of mind.

Not just a stockpile, but a “wearable disaster gear” that supports you physically in times of need. Arranging one for each family member at the entrance can also make it easy to take out for leisure, naturally raising disaster awareness.
