Abstract
Combiné sac à dos et vêtement coupe-vent à fermeture éclair unique en son genre car il permet non seulement de porter, dans la partie sac à dos des objets tels que des fournitures scolaires ou des articles de camping légers, mais aussi d'avoir un accès rapide, grâce à une fermeture éclair, à un vêtement coupe-vent situé dans le sac à dos, évitant ainsi à l'utilisateur de se mouiller en cas de pluie et de vent. Le sac à dos et le vêtement coupe-vent sont faits en matière de type nylon et ayant un revêtement de polyuréthane pour empêcher le contenu du sac à dos d'être mouillé et/ou endommagé par l'eau; et aussi pour empêcher un vent fort et/ou la grêle de transpercer et d'atteindre les vêtements de l'utilisateur. L'utilisateur peut se servir, au choix, de bretelles ou d'une anse. L'utilisateur peut donc alterner en fonction de ses besoins, c'est-à-dire utiliser soit les bretelles, soit l'anse.Combined backpack and windbreaker with one-of-a-kind zipper because it allows not only to carry, in the backpack part, objects such as school supplies or light camping articles, but also to have a quick access, thanks to a zipper, to a windproof garment located in the backpack, thus preventing the user from getting wet in rain and wind. The backpack and windbreaker are made of nylon material and have a polyurethane coating to prevent the contents of the backpack from being wet and / or damaged by water; and also to prevent a strong wind and / or hail from piercing and reaching the user's clothing. The user can use a choice of suspenders or a strap. The user can therefore alternate according to his needs, that is to say use either the straps or the handle.

TECHNICAL FIELD: Technical aspect of this backpack can be classi¬ fied under four different categories:
One being the way the windbreaker and the back¬ pack has been put together to allow the windbreaker to be work without having to discard the .backpack. This has been made possible by stitching the back side of the windbreaker to the front zipper of backpack (7')» second being the velcro pocket (6). This has been invented to store zip out windbreaker cover (.) within the velcro pocket. This zip out windbreaker cover is a flap that can be opened in any direction but is recommended to be used folded downwar .
Third aspect is the shoulder strap (5, 5') that has been designed in two different ways to suit users tastes. The user has the option to use the shoulder strap that is padded for convenience when carrying the the backpack and/or using the hand strap by tucking in the padded straps inside the windbreaker cover ( .). Last item of this category is the pocket within the backpack that has compartments to carry anything from childrens school utensils to camping tools. This storage space was created for multi-purpose tool storing area.
BACKGROUND ART: Zip out windbreaker and backpack has been created by using nylon based material and has been treated with P. U. coating to prevent wind/rain from penetrating through and/or from getting any inside- material and
tools' wet .
The drawcord attached to the hood of the wind¬ breaker has been inserted to prevent user's hair and the neck portion from getting wet and/or from strong wind that may cause discomforting effects.
Overall, this invention's first priority was to give maximum comfort to the user by attaching the windbreaker to the backpack giving the user quick access to exit from hazardous situations. - The invention has been constructed in such a manner described under the Technical Field section utilizing expert sewing techniques to allow- double comfort of having a backpack and a windbreaker, all in one item.

The inventor wishes to disclose such invention to the consumer that by inventing the -item: the combination backpack and a' zip out windbreaker, the inventor has minimized the discomforts of those con- sumers who have been carrying separate tools such as umbrellas and wind jackets by including the windbreaker within a backpack.
This eliminates the awkwardness of having to carry two or three different wind/rain protecting items by attaching the windbreaker to the backpack making the invention a "one product with multi-purpose usage" for anyone who needs protection from wind/rain when outdoors.
