A backpack having a resilient member associated with one of the panels of material forming the backpack. The resilient member is held in an elastically deformed configuration on the one panel so that it stiffens that panel and tends to hold the backpack open. Shoulder straps of the backpack are constructed with ventilation channels on their undersides of the straps and portion of the body underlying the straps. The underside of each strap includes frictionalizing material for engagement with the top of the shoulder of the person wearing the backpack. Each strap also includes a load distributing region generally located along the length of the strap for engagement with the top of the shoulder of the person wearing the backpack. At least one strap includes a pocket having an opening extending generally longitudinally and transversely across the strap.

An article comprising: panels connected together and arranged for enclosing a volume, at least some of the panels being made of a generally limp material; an opening in the article which is at least partially bounded by the generally limp panel material; means for stiffening the generally limp panel material at least partially bounding the opening, said stiffening means biasing a region of the generally limp panel material at least partially bounding the opening to hold open the opening, said stiffening means comprising a resilient member connected to the bounding region of the generally limp panel material; means associated with the generally limp panel material for holding said resilient member in a configuration displaced from a relaxed configuration of said resilient member.
