Abstract
A back support adapted to engage the lumbar region of the wearer having a pair of straps which extend longitudinally from the ends of the support member and terminate in loops to engage the knees of the wearer when the wearer is seated on the ground or on a backless support, such as a bench or the like. The force of the wearer's knees on the straps pulls the back-supporting member against the lower back supporting it and enabling the wearer to sit upright comfortably for extended periods of time. The back support is provided with an integrally formed container pack by providing a closure member along the outside periphery of the support which, in the closed position, forms a container pack for the straps. Carrying handles are provided. The back support further includes a connector, such as a buckle, for connecting the straps, thereby keeping the knees of the user together in a more comfortable position. The back support also includes a retainer strap to attach and maintain the back support in position on the back of the user when the straps are disengaged from the knees of the user.
