CGear Sand-Free Switch Transitional Backpack - Navy Blue

When it comes to experiencing the outdoors, the tendency is to bring what you need and leave the rest at home. That's why we created the Switch Transitional Backpack, a genius 2-in-1 product that features the same patented technology included in our popular Sandlite Mats.

The Genius Beach Accessory: CGEAR's Sand-Free Switch Transitional Backpack is a functional, self-cleaning beach bag that unfolds into a convenient beach mat in seconds. Carry less, enjoy more.

Versatile and Dependable: This amazing 2-in-1 product is great for everyday beach trips, vacations, carrying scuba and snorkel gear, or even using as your daily gym bag.

Practical Backpack Use: Though it works as well as any CGEAR mat when unfolded, this fully functional backpack features a detachable pouch and looped webbing for adjustable storage sizes.

Patented Technology:

Our proprietary weave is a system of precisely engineered layers that allow sand, dirt, and dust fall through the fabric. Because the layers are staggered, debris and can only go one way -down, not back up. Some 2-in-1 ideas are better in theory than practice; not the Switch Transitional Backpack.

This revolutionary design works better than competing products in either application .As a bag, it naturally sifts sand as you walk, making it virtually self-cleaning. It features a convenient fold-over top, a detachable pouch for valuables, and looped webbing for an adjustable storage capacity.

CGear Australia was established in 2003 and holds a patent in 100 countries for its SAND FREE mats.

Continual research and development by the CGear Sand-Free team has seen the production of products for use by the military and the outdoor/recreational markets. These two divisions of CGear Sand-Free are internationally recognized innovators in these specialized fields and markets.

The military products CGear Sand-Free has developed focus on providing solutions to sand and dust abatement for helicopters when landing and taking off. The CGear Sand-Free patented Tactical Helimat is a light weight transportable Helipad that solves the problem of sand and dust abatement, known as Brown out.

Brown out traditionally has caused serious safety issues due to the lack of visibility whilst operating in sand and dusty environments. Further, brown out can cause mechanical failures due to ingestion of sand and accelerated wear of rotor blades, rotor gear, general wear on engines and filters.

The company's SAND FREE Helimat facilitate in increased operational aircraft time, reduced maintenance costs and increased operation safety for aircraft and ground crew. It also reduces ingestion of sand and dust, is lightweight, compact and rapidly deployable, impervious to aviation fuels and oil spills and flame resistant.

CGear Sand-Free distributes the Tactical Helimat to the US Marines and other Military worldwide.

In 2010 CGear Sand-Free Ltd launched this technology outside of Australian shores and onto the recreational market in the United States and around the world. The 2010 collection comprises of an Orange / Tan and Blue / Green mat embracing similar technology to that used by the militaries it sells to. For 2011 S/S the company has launched the much anticipated Rug Range available in 4 patterns perfect for all outdoor occasions.

The company offers smart, innovative solutions enhancing your time outdoors by bringing the some comforts from home.
