knapsacks
Backpackers' shoulder carriers
Knapsacks is the plural of knapsack, a bag carried on the back with shoulder straps.
The word typically suggests a simple, utilitarian pack for carrying supplies—the kind a soldier, hiker, or schoolchild might wear: The children filed off the bus with knapsacks bouncing.
Knapsack sounds slightly old-fashioned compared to backpack.
