Summer ‘26 Update!
.
.
Planning a full website inventory overhaul next week during our initial recovery; Weebo, Water Bar’s and Sling Packs all getting a full overhaul and specialty fabrics. Plus some new stuff coming down the pipe as we work back from physical restrictions on my arm. Stay tuned for a post with some feature photos and release timing!
.
.
Otherwise our feed will probably be more time on the excavator doing site prep for our new workshop and futzing around the homestead from behind joysticks.
Or head on over to @tinytrucktreksvt for a behind the scenes look into building our new business before our soft launch this fall!

Introducing the SideKick Sling!
.
.
After over a half dozen various iterations we’ve finally nailed the shape and construction on these for the first small-batch run! Only 4 this round to test the waters.
.
.
Perfect for on-the-go parents that don’t want to lug a bulky carrier but usually end up with a child in their arms. Coming soon to the webstore, stay tuned for an announcement post!

Otis’ first @bolton_backcountry tour! Just a sunny walk to take in the sights and appreciate the warm day. Then a leisurely cruiser back down in the resort. Big props to @liv.august.vt for keeping the stoke high and getting in lots of High 5 reps.

Sometimes you just wanna have fun.

4 minutes in 60 seconds on the neighborhood rope tow. Always a pleasure to redeem our season pass at Chalet Vallett!

The Schwack Pack by @class4designs in Nemesis Woodlands Wolf Camo.
Our take on the ideal daypack, travel bag, and backcountry companion. Just enough room for a weekends essentials, and streamlined enough to squeeze under a plane seat.
Coming in at 28-32L it is large enough to fit the majority of folks kit for a long day tour, or a weekend spent hopping flights and trains.
Two exterior bottle pockets feature user-replaceable elastic, and can squeeze two 21oz bottles inside or your favorite Nalgene.
The large zippered exterior avalanche pocket is great for stashing that wet rain jacket or skins, and features retention loops for shovel handles and probes.
Two exterior daisy chains allow for easy snowboard carry, and ice axe loops make those technical tours easy. A fixed lower webbing strap and removable Voile strap sleeve on the side makes a foolproof and bomber a-frame ski carry.
Inside, two side organizer pockets and two larger pockets keep small items easily accessible and organized. A “bucket” style zippered top opening pairs with an expansive roll top to provide both quick access and additional storage capacity.
Available in two strap configurations; our “Tuxedo” vest style straps provide two large bottle pockets, two zippered pockets, and two stretch pockets, while our standard strap includes two small stretch pockets.
Constructed of Ultra 800X, 400TX, and 200X, with Ultragrid, Ultrastretch and EPX200 accents. #nemesiscamouflage #class4designs #backpacker #loadout #wonderer
Stoked to finally get the wifey out in the backcountry! First time since before Otis was born. What a champ!
.
Between the tree bound snow that fell and the bubble effect things have filled back in nicely. Can hardly tell where I skied on Tuesday!
.
.
Also a great chance to get out and test a few new prototypes and personal MYOG kit!
.
This new pack size turned out quite perfect for the ultralight kit, and with a few minor tweaks should be ready for a small batch build soon! Stay tuned in to the story for a steady update on ongoing projects and the queue!
.
The pants are a complete first for me, and turned out quite nicely. They need a minor hem adjustment and a bit more room around the boot cuff to really dial things in. Excited with them otherwise and should last FOREVER thanks to some hidden secrets from @challengesailcloth . @nemesiscamouflage 500d cordura and SAM1 stretch for the discrete look. Not For Sale. But stay tuned for a matching jacket eventually!

Scroll thru for the full carousel from this batch of Breadloaf Totes that just went live on the webstore!
.
.
Always adapting and improving our products with every batch, which shines thru with this latest round!
.
Double @challengesailcloth Ultrastretch end pockets maximize the organization and storage capacity alongside the Ultragrid cinch top.
.
Double the contact points with short end grab handles and 1.5” fixed shoulder straps.
.
And topped off with a pair of exterior waterproof zippered pockets for small item security and quick access.
.
We really think we’re getting close to the penultimate version of our favorite tote! But can something ever be perfect without always improving and changing?

Snag yours now @ class4designs.com while they last!
