Nice set-up, but I'm not sure that is for the OP. It was stated they use their backpack for school, which implies files/folders/textbooks, which can get fairly heavy pretty quick. What's the weight limit on that freepack of yours?

EDIT: Here's a link- https://www.klickfix.com/index.php?mod=1〈=en
Weight limit is 11-15 lbs, depending on model.
