RANGE Radical By Design: Alite x Boreas Collab Pack

San Francisco sister brands Alite Designs and Boreas Gear teamed up to create the perfect urban commuter pack with utility-based design and uncompromised style. Their collaboration is just like the perfect PB&J sandwich with equal parts peanut butter and jelly, or in this case with equal parts of Alite and Boreas features.

Alite provided the body design of the pack, made of a technical, weatherproof wax canvas, which was crafted in their SF workshop to perfectly fit Boreas’s contribution, their signature SuperTramp Suspension system. This system can be converted from a high-ventilation trampoline suspension to a conventional high-stability suspension with just a pull of a strap, meaning more airflow and no more sweaty backs! Together these two pieces work in harmony to provide stability, comfort and storage. Other notable features of the pack include a roll-top closure, foam backing insert, leather straps for exterior storage and an adjustable hip belt and sternum strap.

This slate-colored beauty is now available online as a limited edition pack on the Alite website. However, Alite and Boreas have assured us that this is just the beginning of future collaborations and innovations by the two brands!

“Flying our flag for active lifestyle products raising the bar.”

New products come and go, but certain items make a lasting impression on us. They are the “greatest hits.” They are DISTINCTIVE PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO ELEVATE OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, but what makes them special? They are the perfect combination of form and function. These products are not only innovative, but they are also created to LOOK GOOD AND FEEL RIGHT. They utilize forward-thinking materials in a new way, or they incorporate classic design details into contemporary shapes and silhouettes. They are equal parts modern and timeless. In a new series, we will do our best to highlight some of these emerging products by giving them the RANGE RADICAL BY DESIGN seal of approval.
