If you're looking for a way to give your spine a break, consider replacing your traditional purse or backpack with an AmeriBag Healthy Back Bag. As a frequent business traveler who is often on-the-go with a packed handbag, I truly love this bag. It is a great way to carry a wide variety of items while minimizing upper body stress.
AmeriBag HBB Design
The AmeriBag Healthy Back Bag (HBB) offers a great way to carry a lot of gear in a way that is much more comfortable and better for your back than a traditional handbag or even a two-shoulder backpack style purse. That is because this bag has a unique teardrop shape designed specifically to follow the shape of your spine. Because of this design, the bag reduces stress to your back, shoulders and neck, as compared to carrying a traditional handbag.
Not only is the back more comfortable to carry than traditionally designed handbags, it is also a practical solution for carrying a wide variety of gear. Each size includes organizer pockets inside and out to help you keep track of your belongings and a clip to store your keys with easy reach. The main compartment is roomy enough to hold your wallet and a variety of other items, such as your make-up bag, a water bottle and more.
The current generation of these bags comes with a padded compartment that is hidden away and designed to hold a tablet. Of course, the size of bag you choose impacts what tablet you can carry, so keep this in mind when choosing a bag. Available sizes and corresponding tablet accommodations include:
- Extra-small - 15" x 8" x 5.5" (will hold small tablets up to the size of an iPad mini)
- Small - 7" x 9" x 6" (will tablets up to the size of a regular iPad)
- Medium - 9" x 11" x 7" (will hold all size tablets)
