HoverGlide backpack is designed by Lightning Packs LLC in the US to reduce 86% of pressure due to wearing heavy objects, Long Room reported on August 23. HoverGlide includes a rigid frame attached to a backpack with a bungee rope. This combination creates a suspension that allows the backpack to move freely when the wearer walks. In the video, the backpack seemed to float behind the wearer.

In normal backpacks, heavy objects are supported by a strap-on frame, which means that when the user walks, the backpack moves with the hip. Backpack reduces the vertical movement of heavy objects, allowing users to carry 5.4kg of weight. The backpack also helps reduce muscle and joint problems.

Initially, Lightning Packs LLC created a backpack model to serve the US Navy and Army. The design of HoverGlide is based on the 2016 study of the University of Pennsylvania's backpack feature and shape.
