When is the last time you wore a backpack? It has been at least 10 years for me. I have not been a huge fan of backpacks until now.
Prior to trying the Pursuit Backpack made by Six Pack Fitness, backpacks seemed to cause more back pain than convenience. I was happily surprised when trying on the Pursuit Backpack.

If the cool packs are frozen is it still considered part of the 3oz liquid rule when traveling through airport security?
Great question Lacy! As long as the freezer pack is completely frozen solid, it will not be considered a liquid.
This is from the TSA Website:
“Frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they are frozen solid when presented for screening. If frozen liquid items are partially melted, slushy, or have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they must meet 3-1-1 liquids requirements.
If the frozen item is packed with ice or ice packs in a cooler or other container, the ice or ice packs must be completely frozen when brought through screening. If the ice or ice packs are partially melted and have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they will not be permitted.”
