Backpack with back protector or back protector with backpack? Yes, I use the same words but turn them the other way around.. that is the biggest difference...though there are more.
The unique function with KORI Coyote is that you have your back protector and if you need, you can transform it into a backpack, there is no other product that is compared with that.
Though, after folding out the backpack you suddenly have several product that can be compared to the KORI Coyote, to name some of them:
Boblbee - also a Swedish brand with a high-class hard-shell backpack that also is certified as a back protector. As it is a hard-shell backpack it is perfect to store your camera-equipment, your computers or other things that.
Compared to KORI Coyote - Boblbee is a hard-shell backpack, with a given size, can be slightly larger but not smaller and thinner, it is always a backpack..
Compared to KORI Coyote - EVOC has a range of small size backpacks with integrated back protectors. If you like to use them only as a back protector you take of the backpack and leave it at home.
So compared as a backpack the biggest difference is the flexibility in volume. KORI can be totally flat as a back protector or large as a hiking pack - and everything there in-between!

| illustrating the flexibility as the backpack adapts to its content |
If you only have you water-system in the pack there is no need to have it larger than the volume of the water. If you on the other hand need to pack a jacket, an extra set of changing of things, your helmet or likely, you have the possibility form the pack so that it fits the content. In short words. Instead of being a fixed product - KORI Coyote adapts to your needs, and not the overall needs, instead the need you have right here right now
