Gotta Love the Power of the Internet

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

Last month, we posted an article about a Hill People Gear project, the Bike Frame Bag. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones to see the utility in their design. Our friends at Predator Intelligence also mentioned the weekend project. Turns out, a lot of folks also thought it was a good idea. It seems it was enough for HPG to work out production issues with FirstSpear.

They will begin selling the Bike Frame Bag soon. Multicam will sell for $25, and any other color will sell for $20. Here’s the kicker, they are looking for your input on which color to produce first. Go to their projects page and participate in the survey. They’ll make up their minds on Friday, so make your vote count.

Hill People Gear – Bike Frame Bag

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

What started out as a weekend project for the guys at Hill People Gear has started to make some buzz. It’s a bike frame bag designed to hold a fork pump and tire pump. Apparently, the owner seemed to forget them when he went on rides since he uses the one of two backpacks no matter if he is hiking, skiing, biking or whatever. He doesn’t need the pumps for anything but biking so he would often forget to pack them. The natural answer was to configure the load on the bike.

Go take a look and participate in their poll if you are a customer. They are looking for input on what they should develop next.

Tarahumara Pack Preview

Sunday, August 14th, 2011

The upcoming Tarahumara pack from Hill People Gear started out as a hydration pack concept for their Kit Bag. Then, it morphed into something more.

It can be docked to Kit Bag for those times when you want some water and a coat in addition to your possibles or used with the integrated runner’s harness with the Kit Bag, or as a stand alone pack.

Additionally, it has a padded back panel and a slot pocket between the back panel and the main compartment. Inside, there is a hang loop for a hydration bladder. The two slightly dimensional side pockets will each take a USGI 1qt canteen. The removable compression straps will cinch the bag down to nothing, but also allow you to put quite a bit under them — like a carbine or pair of snowshoes. Dimensions on the pack are a somewhat contoured 17″x9″x4″. All of this at 1lb without shoulder straps.

Not Your Typical Kit Bag

Monday, April 4th, 2011

The new Kit Bag from Hill People Gear is something a little different that what you might expect. Rather than a big, lumbering holdall, it is a compact Admin-style pouch that fits right up front where you can access it. Designed primarily for civilian applications, it interfaces well with a pack and surprise!, includes a pistol pouch. The 7.5” x 2” x 11” sized pouch is designed to carry a pistol with a weapon light mounted and a few other essentials without interfering with a hip belt. It can be worn attached to a pack’s shoulders traps or with its included H harness making it very stable, even when running. This can be a great piece of kit for someone who doesn’t want to carry in a holster or fanny pack and can also use the convenience of a fold open admin pouch to access items such as maps as well as other gear.

You will notice that they are partial to Kifaru (as are we). In fact, you may also notice some similarities with the Koala and that is because it was initially designed by the folks at Hill People Gear.

The Kit Bag is manufactured for Hill People Gear by First Spear meaning it is made from mil-spec materials and is Berry compliant. Available in Ranger Green, Foliage, and Coyote, to order yours, visit www.hillpeoplegear.com.
