We designed and developed our first Outdoor backpacks with the flexible Link System in collaboration with ERGON. Along with development, we organised the introduction of the products with the manufacturers and followed the process through to release for serial production.

Flexible Link System - Outdoor

The wanderer will be pleased by the range of motion in the shoulder area and at having a back not damp with sweat. With the Flexible Link System 80% of the load is efficiently transferred to the hips.

 

Rock climbing requires your full range of motion. The Athlete places heavy demands on his/her equipment, both in terms of weight and freedom of movement.
The unique construction of the Flexible Link Systems allows the climber to move without restriction to use the full range of motion and presents the ideal solution for carrying loads.

Collection for ERGON

We developed 2 backpack models with the Flexible Link System in close collaboration with the client.
A compact backpack for short hikes or climbing trips and a model for longer trips. 

 

[>] BA1 - light and small

[>] BA3 - multiple day trip

BA1 - light and small

With its 16 litre capacity, the Compact Backpack offers adequate volume for the ascent up to the climbing area and climbing up a longer rock. The central zipper gives easy access to the main compartment and to the water reservoir.   
Other practical features are the flexible side pockets and the compartment for valuables, which is accessible from the outside
The back pocket is easily accessible while worn and is especially well suited for storing area maps and topographical maps.
The climbing rope fits close to the body between the shoulder plate and the backpack’s main body. 

Climbers are purists. They are always pushing the limits of their performance in an intense confrontation and harmony with nature.
The climbing backpack is a practical, stylish and yet modest companion. The backpack is for people who challenge themselves to set goals and try to reach them. This clarity and directness is even embodied in the design.

BA3 - multiple-day trips

With its 30 litre capacity, this backpack is suitable for more ambitious undertakings.  
Just like its little brother, it affords access to the main compartment and reservoir compartment through the main zipper.  
Various compartments accessible from inside and out help you to organise your materials.  
With the lateral compression straps, the volume can be efficiently compacted, and in winter a pair of skis can be attached.
The rear pocket, also easily accessible when worn, allows you to store area and topographical maps in easy reach. 

BA1 and BA3 complement each other and so belong to the same product line.
In this model we also placed a high value on clear design consistency, with characteristic detail solutions.
