So this is just a backpack with a form similar to that of a
snail shell.
Perhaps if you want to be fancy the zip could go along the
spiral and there could be several progressively smaller
compartments inside. But really I'd be okay with it just
unzipping around most of the 'neck' of the shell
(the
roundish
flat part which would go against your back when in use).
I really thought this would already be a product, but I've
googled for it, and it doesn't seem to be.

Alas only a DIY project.

I'm seeing lots of turtle shell backpacks and snail
holloween costumes consisting of a fake shell
hanging on the back like a backpack, but not an
actual backpack shaped like a snail shell. |

Patent opportunity? Keep in mind, you don't need a
patent unless you think it's a multi million dollar
idea that somebody's going to steal. |
|
| |
That being said, not sure how many kids want to
look like a snail. The turtle thing is explainable
from the hero tenage mutant ninja turtles thing. |
|
| |
Maybe if you make a cartoon "Super Space Snails"
or something to prep the market? Patent the
backpack and then make millions. Might be a way
to break into the fast paced, big money, kid's
novelty
backpack game. |

Sturton keeps a stable of racing snails; he tried taking the shell off one of them to speed it up, but in fact since then it's been much more sluggish ... |

Or a turtle shell, [Loris] for lighter loads. |

The Intercalary has one of those. Unfortunately he made it from a real Hawksbill turtle shell, which caused no end of trouble when the wildlife conservation people spotted him. |
|
| |
Or even a tortoise. Just as long as you don't get turned upside down while you're crawling through a desert ... |

Surprised this doesn't exist given how topologically
simple and therefore cost-effective one would be. |
|

//How come these don't exist already? HOW COME?// |

Good idea, hopefully without the slime trail. |
