Built for the ride up.
and the run down.
The lift-focused front-carry pack is designed for riders who hate their gear getting in the way.
Built people like us who spend more time on lifts than in lodges.
First run is limited.

No spam. No noise. Just progress updates and first access.
The Problem
Backpacks weren't built for chairlifts.
Traditional packs push you forward on the seat, dig into your back, and make every lift ride uncomfortable. You're stuck choosing between carrying your gear and riding comfortably.
CHAIR1 eliminates the tradeoff. Our vest-style system moves storage to the front, creating a near-flat back profile that lets you sit naturally on the chair. No leaning, no pressure points, no compromise.
Engineered for the mountain
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Chairlift Ready
Ultra-minimal back profile means zero discomfort on the lift. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Front-Loaded Carry
All your essentials right where you need them. Quick-access pockets engineered for the mountain.
Built to Last
Sustainably sourced, weather-resistant materials and reinforced construction for whatever the mountain throws at you.
Low Profile
Perfect weight distrobution for balance while carving. No bulk, no drag, no shifting mid-run.
Who we are
A Company Doing it Differently.
We believe what you carry, and how it’s made, should reflect the respect you have for the outdoors, the people around you, and the experiences that matter most.
Here are our three values:
Stewardship
Stewardship means caring for our people, our customers, and the earth. That persuit makes this whole company worthwhile, even when it costs more or takes longer. Sustainability isn’t something we can figure on later; it has to be core to how we design, build, and improve, season after season. We believe that when you act with care and intention, even when the easier path would be more profitable, the return shows up in trust, in durability, and in the places we leave better than we found them.
Adventurous
Adventure is why we’re here, in the mountains, in the cold, chasing something deeper than comfort. That spirit of adventure connects us to the earth, to ourselves, and to each other. Which is why it also defines how we build. We're navigating unfamiliar terrain, choosing intention over ease, and committing to the long way when it leads somewhere better. We believe meaningful progress only happens when you’re willing to leave the map behind.
Integrity
Integrity is the line we refuse to cross, even when no one’s watching. It means transparency through honest pricing, responsible marketing, and sustainable products built without shortcuts. It’s about earning trust slowly, through consistency, not claims. Since we're not perfect, it also means owning our mistakes, to our customers and to each other, and fixing them. Integrity to us means testing the hell out of our gear too because durability isn’t a feature, it’s a promise.
