Hiking Backpack Doubles as a Chair

For outdoor enthusiasts who want — but don’t want to lug — both a backpack and chair, look to the KEEN Springer Backseat Pack.

Ideal for hiking, the pack can carry a day’s worth of gear and a three-liter bottle. But what makes this $120 backpack stand out is the fold-down pad that can serve as a seat. And admit it, the chair feature might also come handy in urban situations, like that questionably hygienic bus bench.

The folks of Gizmodo note that while the backpack can keep you bum clean, it poses another conundrum.

I’m going to ignore the fact that if you pull down the chair and sit on it, the back of the backpack is now on the floor and will dirty your back.
