The 2nd coolest product from Open Air Demo
Check out Ergon’s new Outdoor Tourenrucksack, Outdoor Daypack fur Tagestouren and Outdoor-Allroundrucksack (the Outdoor Touring Pack, Outdoor Day Pack and Outdoor Allround Pack, respectively). Very cool!
What I love about these lightweight packs is how well they’ve been ergonomically designed to meet the needs of the active outdoor adventurer.
On page 6 of Ergon’s online product catalog you’ll note what the company calls its Flink ball joint. This feature allows the back to rotate from side to side while enthusiasts are bombing down a hill on a mountain bike, straining across an untracked meadow on cross country skis or starting mile four on a 12-mile run.
The company literature also explains that the strapping system of its packs allows users to keep the bulk of the weight (up to 80 percent) distributed to the hips rather than the shoulders, making for better posture and easier/safer activities while on the go.
Ergon’s packs will be priced at $199 and less. Look for ‘em in booth #71018 at Outdoor Retailer, Summer 2007. (Ergon will be at Interbike 2007 too.)
