Dan Matsuda x Carryology | Year of the Snake Morale Patch
…ad our scheduled meetings with. Let’s rewind back a few months, before the design phase, all the way to the ideation phase. Sometime around November 2024, which played a major role. These patches couldn’t just be any design, there needed to be some sort of relevant inspiration for their purpose. After exploring many different motifs and concepts, we realized the timing was perfect and we landed on the direction of “the year of the snake”. Next we…

Specialist Carry :: Freeskier (Olympic Special)
…nd, what does that icy environment demand from your gear? What’s important design-wise? It depends on what’s in our bags. But when in training, and on our way to the slopes, we don’t like to have cold boots or have our water frozen. Thermal equipment helps us out. A lot of wear and tear occurs when travelling around the globe. It’s important that our gear gets maintained and that our travel gear is protective. Are there any features from other car…

…r bags in this category that pack a punch would be Aer’s Travel Pack 2 and Peak Design’s Travel Backpack. If you’re after something smaller and more compact, the Bellroy Transit is very good. Verdict Is this a winner in the aesthetics department? No, not by a long shot. But is it one of those bags that operates like Hermione’s beaded bag in Harry Potter? Most definitely! You can throw anything at it and it simply handles it and keeps a pretty low…

Roew Roll Top Board Bag Review
…d Bag is the Kickstarter project of Joey Cunningham. Joey is a designer at Peak Design and a surfer. Somewhere in his brain, the frustration of average surfboard bags bubbled up into a project that would not rest. Surfboard bags could be better. He had a few key gripes with board bags. Corroded or broken zips, a lack of size adjustability, and (in my opinion, the worst) a soggy, moldy, stinky bag. So with his bag design pedigree, he set out to ch…

On the inside of these two doors there are slip mesh pockets and the same wonderful microfibre lining that accepts WOTANCRAFT’s excellent modules.
