SPARTAN HYBRID

product design

2016 | CORDURA®

Designed with the needs of the most elite obstacle course athletes in mind such as those running the Spartan Ultra Beast. To equip these inspiring athletes for the 26+ miles, 60 obstacles, and 12-14 hours of race time, this pack features:

strategically paneled two-way stretch Cordura® fabric and Black Cam Cordura® for abrasion resistance
2 liter hydrapak bladder, magnetic drinking tube and R/L outlets for a customized hydration experience
coated YKK zippers
plenty of easy-access stash pockets for storing food/fuel or gear
waterproof bonded pocket for race-ready electronics
soft, brushed fabrics next to skin for a chafe-free run experience
adjustable side-release with elasticity for easy breathing

Flip and Sip

The feature I am most proud of, though, is the easy refill system. Simply unclip at the sides and flip the bag front to back for fast and easy access to hydration. Minimal construction and a streamlined user experience help to save time at water stations while giving tired hands a break from unnecessary actions and adjustments.

The project is a result of an intense research period, multiple prototypes, user testing and expert athlete feedback.
