Design Heads :: Alec Farmer (Trakke)
…example, but is there anything that we wouldn’t notice about an excellent carry product off-hand but a master of carryology always would? I can’t stand uncomfortable straps. You’d think it was obvious, but you see so many packs out there with poorly designed straps. Also, I really don’t understand the point of a waterproof backpack cover. It seems like a superfluous bit of design – why not just make the pack itself water-resistant? That really bu…

Your knife should be kept away, but still readily available. You don’t need to wear it around your neck, advertising it to everyone. If you need a belt pouch for your work knife and job, more power to you. But we’re focusing on an “office type scenario” and bu…

CARRYING: It should generally have at least two carry options – padded shoulder strap and top grip are popular but backpack straps or wheels have their place.

Zips, wheels and seam…

While they also indicated that it would allow you to carry extra accessories with you to expand your loadout as you go, it was hard for us to find a use case where we would carry a folded pouch with us to use later. Maybe if there were more external attachment points we would have been able to make use of this feature more. Regardless, the bag-origami is a slick feature and it definitely would make it easy to stow away in a s…
