Integrated Harness

Rossignol innovated by building a climbing harness into a pair of pants!!! Lovely concept.

”This new Rossignol patented system is the result of close collaboration between the Freeride team and Cilao, a firm specializing in the design of climbing harnesses.
Because safety is vital for Freeriding and because it can be difficult to free oneself from delicate, unforeseen passages, Rossignol launches the HARNESS pants integrating a harness so light you will forget it’s there (94 g or 3.3 oz. in medium-size, one of the lightest on the market).”

Portable solar powered radio




”With gadgets like the iPod reducing radio usage to a minimum, there are a few who believe that with some ingenuity radios can be made favorites in no time. Industrial designers Wu Kun-chia, Wang Shih-ju, Chen Ming-daw and Liou Chang-ho have designed the Flexio – a solar-powered portable radio, which is printable and inexpensive.”

Process

We wanted to develop a briefcase (small document holder) essential and cheap, just to put inside the flight tickets, some documentation… a small bag to be attach inside the other bags, but working also separatly.

We’ve been developing and testing the patterns, materials… we came to a sample, quite rich, not as we first idea we had, it has several pockets, one with zipper, a hiden one with velcro, another 4 as slope, closure with magnets… used 5 different materials, plus a new one; the rope-lines of a paraglider.

Now we still have the same problem, we’ve got a beautifull sample, but is not filling the gap we wanted, it is essential and elaborate, but not as cheap as 20€, the price we intended to sell… we have to think about it.

Probably we will develop another one, coming back to the first idea. Probably we will offer two different items, each one in four differnt colours. I think so.

Ribcap



I’ve just discover this great thing… a woolen hat with sewn-in lightweight structure impact.

Ribcap was presented for the first time in 2005 as a world wide innovation.

This product offers all the advantages of a normal cap or beanie and can at the same time protect against bumps…
Using structure’s advanced lightweight technology, upon impact the structure material changes from a lightweight flexible material into a semi-rigid or fully rigid state depending on the size of the impact.
Fashionable and safe, these protective hats are better than wearing nothing and the next best thing to wearing a helmet.

They’ve been sponsorizing two paragliders; Chrigel Maurer and Thomas Theurillat on the X-Alps contest.
