ICE HOG
Designed using digital pattern drafting technologies, the ICE HOG is the ideal pack for a day of rock climbing. Its simple, comfortable and rugged design makes it a perfect companion for climbing adventures. The pack is made entirely from upcycled car airbags.
This pack was designed in collaboration with Alex Turnbull
First Iteration Pack
Our first pack was made with airbags that were permanently stained with rust and other oils from cars. It was also taller and the top pocket was placed at an inconvenient spot. This was adjusted in our final iteration.
