A rucksack that moves with you

Idea Reality worked with MotionLab from early in the products conception. We helped to develop the innovative flexible spine, frame and chest buckle system. Our knowledge of plastic part design and our prototyping capability has enabled us and MotionLab to develop and iterate the product design into the revolutionary and highly effective form you see today.
