Created by a High School Student!

In 1998, Ian Ivarson realized all backpacks worked the same way. Throw your stuff in and it all falls to an uncomfortable, unorganized, and unhealthy mess at the bottom - they're basically open sacks! Fed up with the lack of backpack advancements, Ian developed and patented an innovative internal shelf design for ideal weight distribution, comfort, and organization.

Ian sold his first backpack to his University of Denver roommate launched Ivar following graduation.
