KITBASHED HYDRATION PACK PROTOTYPE

This daypack/ hydration pack was designed as a "kitbashed" type prototype, meaning that many of its parts were salvaged from other backpacks. This was an exploration of discovering the most appealing parts of other backpack designs, and what a daypack might look and function if these parts were merged into a single product. A hydration pack design was pursued, given it was the most commonly type of pack that was used on personal hikes while living in Arizona. Having tested several other designs, many were found deficient for a number of reasons which could be designed out with this prototype.
