How to Design a Backpack in 24 Hours—With a Mystery Box Twist!

One designer. One mystery box of Fidlock components. And just 24 hours to bring a brand-new backpack prototype to life!

In episode three of Maker’s Mystery Box, Matador Equipment’s own Sam Goodhue steps up to the challenge, armed with nothing but his creativity, problem-solving skills, and a ticking clock. Can he crack the code to an epic backpack design—or will time run out before the magic happens?

Hit play to see the design process in action (and psst… stick around ‘til the end for a special surprise!).
