Project Purpose: The backpack was created for users who want to go to the beach alone and not worry about their belongings. In this way, when the user wants to go diving, they won't need to ask others to watch their things. They will have the opportunity to take all their belongings with them in their Raia backpack while diving. This allows for a hassle-free and worry-free beach experience, as the user can keep their belongings close and secure at all times.
premises of design
Secure and comfortable fastening. The elongated hip belt is an innovative design feature in the realm of backpacks, providing a better fit and hugging the body. The materials were carefully chosen to ensure maximum protection for the users' belongings, adhering to IP 66 and 67 standards. These standards indicate that the backpack is dust-tight and protected against powerful jets of water, making it highly suitable for beach and water-related activities.
The backpack can be folded and transformed into a waist pack (pouch or fanny pack). Due to its lightweight and high durability, it is suitable for almost any sports activity. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for various outdoor and sports-related endeavors.
The materials were carefully selected and tested multiple times to ensure the project's success. Not only the materials but also the production method make it a flexible "tank."
Looking at the market options for the objetive of this project, the options were poor, and lacking design thinking. Safety of the users belongings was the main objetive, but couldn´t work alone on its own. I also looked at inovation inside the beach accesories world.

The chosen concept was not only the one that had the design language but also had the best ergonomics for the purpose of the project.
