Cool Hunting

Tumi continues to push outward and upward-- this time with a mountain climbing pack that looks just as good in the Sea of Tranquility as it does on the top of Mt. Hood. Their VP of Design, Timm Fenton, is an avid mountain climber and created this pack specifically for a climb in South America this Winter. The ultralight pack has a 5000 cubic inch capacity, but the radical materials keep the weight under 6.5 pounds.

This December it will be available, in a limited edition of 125 units, at Tumi stores and on their site for $595.
