SleePack
The product “SleePack” was developed in response to a critical challenge faced by many homeless individuals: the theft of personal belongings. Through research and direct conversations with unhoused individuals, it became evident that securing personal items was a significant concern in their daily lives.
Hybrid Design
The design serves a dual purpose, combining a sleeping bag with an integrated backpack. This hybrid solution offers an easy way to carry belongings during the day. At night, when the sleeping bag is in use, the backpack remains hidden and protected, helping safeguard personal belongings from theft while the user sleeps. This seamless integration provides both mobility and security for those experiencing homelessness.

The zipper and button of the sleeping bag are secured on the inside, making them discreet and undetectable to passersby. This design choice enhances security by making it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to open the sleeping bag while the user is asleep.
