Incase Audio: Soundesign

February 17th, 2012 in Apple iPhone & iPad, Product NewsNo Comments

Since 1997 Incase have built a solid reputation as an innovative team of creatives that consistently merge innovative functionality with supreme, minimalist design. They are the most creative lifestyle accessory brand in the world, and probably the best.

Their latest venture, aptly named Soundesign, sees the San Francisco based company extend their range of Apple add-on products by entering the exciting world of personal audio.

Incase had a big task on their hands when they decided upon this project. This is a market that already contains a couple of brands that make exceptional sounding audio products, as well as a couple of brands making beautifully designed products.

The problem? In their opinion, nobody was doing both, or doing it well at least.

And then came Incase, again. Problem solved.

They say: The Incase Audio range “fuses custom design, advanced audio engineering and biomechanics together to work as one to achieve maximum performance”.

We say: Finally we have found some seriously great sounding headphones that look as just as good as they sound. Check them out at rushfaster.

Still not convinced? Check out this short film to see just how serious these guys are about the Incase Audio range.

October 19th, 2011 in Product NewsNo Comments

Incase have partnered with renowned photographer Ari Marcopoulos to create this LIMITED EDITION camera bag that meets his exacting standards. As a veteran photographer whose work takes him across the globe to a variety of locales and climates, a durable yet comfortable bag is a must. The result of this particular design challenge is a low-profile bag with optimal weather resistance, long-wearing comfort, excellent protection and functional features that allow Ari to access his equipment as quickly as possible, never missing a shot.

Meet The Family: Gravis

August 16th, 2011 in Product NewsNo Comments

With a steady focus on product research, development and attention to detail, Gravis bags and luggage are built to take you around the world and back.

Describing themselves as “a family of creative individuals who seek out adventure and discovery via global exploration”, Gravis is best described as an action lifestyle brand, rooted in four elements: skate, snow, surf, and art. Basically, they build strong, design focused bags for the people that need them most.

We have seen Gravis really mature over the last 3-4 seasons by tightening the screws on some strong core designs, while also stirring up a flurry of attention with some progressive collaborations with pro skater Dylan Rieder (he’s so hot right now!) and graphic artists Thomas Campbell & Dan Funderburgh.

Utilising a strong product development team, Gravis blend clean design lines with a variety of quality materials like canvas, wax coated canvas, rip-stop nylons, brushed cordura and ballistic nylons. Their seasonal colour palette often uses muted tones, earth tones, and shades of grey and black with the occasional splash of intense colour to keep things exciting but never OTT.

The branding is usually quite minimal which we love, however the function, design and overall aesthetic of the range tend to give the bags their own personality anyway.

At Rushfaster, what we love most about Gravis is their small but strong travel collection. Comprised of two pieces of rolling luggage with the carry on sized 52l Jetway (we LOVE this bag!), the 90l Trekker (for those longer trips), and their most recent addition, a laptop friendly travel duffle.

The new Travel Duffle (pictured above) is perfect for a 2-4 day road trip, and a blessing for anyone who likes to travel light with a laptop. This killer bag features side pockets for a 15″ laptop, pens, cords and sketchbooks. The inside main pocket is big and roomy for your clothing and on the end is a pocket that keeps dirty shoes or clothing away from your clean stuff… awesome huh?

It is seemingly simple stuff, but it would seem that Gravis are leading by example in this exciting new world of lifestyle travel.

Gravis is only sold at specialty stores such as Rushfaster, and are well respected in their industry and among blogs such as Carryology.
