The swivelling compartment, known as the Shuttle Pod, allows users to access important items without removing the backpack – a useful energy saver on long days out!

The Twin Lakes backpack is priced at $230 and available in four styles: green camouflage, black and silver, silver and teal, and silver and burnt orange.

Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, the backpack features ARC Swing Technology, which helps the compartment swing to the front with ease.

With its ergonomic aluminium frame and hi-tech nylon fabric, the Twin Lakes backpack provides comfort and durability for long outdoor activities, according to the company.

The backpack is equipped with a padded back, shoulder straps, and a hip belt for enhanced comfort and support during use.

In addition to its main features, the backpack includes a waterproof base and a rain cover to protect contents from the elements.

The Twin Lakes backpack has a capacity of 30 litres, with the Shuttle Pod holding up to five pounds of essential items.

Designed with photographers and outdoor adventurers in mind, it includes a tripod or ski pocket, and interior and exterior accessory pockets.

The modular design allows users to customise the interior compartments, making it well suited for storing camera gear, binoculars, and other equipment.

Patented in the US, Europe, and Japan, the backpack’s ARC Swing Technology represents a significant innovation in backpack design.

Paxis says the product is aimed at individuals engaged in hiking, birdwatching, or nature photography, where quick access to equipment is crucial.

The company is also raising funds for a new product, the Voyager Assistive Chair Pack, a wheelchair-mountable Shuttle Pod.
