Holger Feist, former professional snowboarder, has travelled the world with his bike and snowboard, heading far away from the beaten path to destinations. Out in the most savage backcountries around the world a tent is the only hotel going, and on those long, cold, sleepless nights huddling on a some farflung mountainside he had plenty of time to think.
The topic that kept coming back to him was an injury he suffered from a tool stored in his backpack that dug into his spine during an avalanche. Lying in that tent he kept coming back to that backpack and how nothing on the market at that time worked well. With his experience as a product manager in the snowboard industry he decided that if nobody else was going to make the backpack he needed.
Using his contacts he had a first prototype made up. While he was testing the backpack, he then turned his attention to how to carry his bike with him when he travelled. Sketching a rough design with big wheels and the weight all moved to the back of the bag he had prototypes of that made too.
In late 2006 one of Holger's riding buddies, Bernd Stucke, who was to become his co-founder, took the bike bag and packpack into the legendary Flying Ball Cycles in Hong Kong, and there and then Mr. Lee said he would order 50 bike bags. Since then, a lot has changed, positively for the brand. Yet function and quality continues on as the most important components of the all their products.
