Abstract
An integral, molded rubber base for a backpack. This base is connected to the fabric body portion of the backpack. A tread or lug sole pattern is provided on the bottom and sides of the molded rubber base. The back surface of the base is contoured to curve around the user's back, thus providing more comfort than a traditional straight back.
