Design Heads :: Henrik Björkman (Haglöfs)
…stry? Henrik: Well, I can’t really stress enough how important it is for a designer to know exactly how stuff is produced. For you as a designer to be able to push things forward, you need to be confident in production so that you can actually change the way your products are produced. This is especially important for designers within the carry industry. Since the carry industry is not as tool-intensive, it is actually not that difficult to make c…

At Trakke, we just try and make beautiful packs that work. No frills. No marketing bullshit. Just the basics, done well. What materials do you most like to work with? Are there any new materials you’re experimenting with? Anything that will brea…
Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L Review :: Drive By
…we headed to a party at a downtown bar. There, I ran into Art Viger, head designer at Peak Design. I immediately asked him if he had any of the bags with him. He produced the Everyday Sling and told me I had a little bit of time to look it over and list all the flaws of the prototype. He was expecting a call with the factory to go over the tweaks that needed to be applied. I had twenty minutes. I’ve seen many bags but here I was, trying to scruti…
Design Heads :: Derick Noffsinger
…game for a long time. What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about design? Design requires teamwork. Any project I’ve touched that has been relatively successful has required a team of people much smarter than me alone. Design to me isn’t sitting alone and sketching or even building, it’s more about getting people excited about something and chasing after that goal together. And secondly, what have you learned about the carry industry as a…

Haven & Florin Rollpack Review: Drive By
…pack still on. It reminded me a lot of the flashlight cave found on Triple Aught Design’s EDC pack. One of my biggest pet peeves about bags is the gap between what they’ve been designed for and how they are actually used. Take water bottle pockets for example. They look great, sound great and yet often never actually amount to anything other than wasted space. The reason being that most of the time, the pocket isn’t designed to work with the bag f…

Even with my all-black Triple Aught Design FAST Pack Litespeed, I’ll have people casually ask me when/where I served while I’m in the security line at airports.
