Abstract: This invention is directed toward a backpack system which allows for a speedy and efficient method of adjustment. The invention is particularly applicable to backpacks used by people who need to quickly and efficiently adjust a backpack which is frequently taken off or put on, such as with divers, rock climbers, mountaineers, fire-fighters, military personnel, search and rescue personnel, security guards, and other people who need to put on a backpack and adjust the straps to comfortably and safely carry the load contained therein quickly, easily, and safely. The invention introduces some major improvements which make it applicable for a variety of outdoor, underwater, and rescue-related applications, including carrying of other loads requiring farm and safe carriage and the possibility of needing quick mounting and dismounting.
