The Douchebag 2015 Double Ski Or Snowboard Bag In Grey
A collaboration between skiers, snowboarders, designers, engineers and baggage handlers and a University of Technology, the Douchebag is the smart way to transport your skis or board. New 2015 design in a new grey colour option to stand out from the black bags on the luggage trolleys. The Douchebags development process is the result of passionate people traveling the world doing what they love. The project was born in the summer of 2009 during a week of epic surf and sunny glacier skiing in Norway when Swedish twintip- and GS skier Jon Olsson met product engineer and entrepreneur Truls Brataas. The two discovered a mutual passion for action sports and product design, and decided to initiate the Douchebags project. Their motivation was the fact that sports equipment had become more
advanced over the years, but travel bags had not changed enough to fulfill the needs of a modern traveller. When initiating a development process we turn to our core users to learn what they really appreciate in a product. We have a base of 150 skiers, snowboarders and surfers, many of which travel several hundred days a year, that contribute to this process. This gives us a clear understanding of what problems our products need to solve. Based on real experiences and unique insight from our core users, our development process was, and still is, based on the needs of a modern traveller. To continuously develop quality products, Douchebag works closely with airlines, baggage handlers at airports, retailers, transportation firms and our factories. This cooperation ensures that
all aspects of the product interaction are taken into account in the development process. This is one of the important reasons why Douchebags products are being treated better while in transit than all other bags. After Douchebags have analyzed all information, and set a direction for the continuing development process, they start the physical design process. This process very often leads us to realize that they need to develop new technology in order to give their products the features they want. For this process they work closely with product designers, engineers and The Norwegian University of Science and Technology. This part of the development process is a fusion of passion, design and technology, and the result is a new way to look at traveling bags. They sew the first
prototypes ourselves, before we make advanced prototypes in the laboratory at the University. When Douchebags are happy with the result, they do the final adjustments together with their core users before they include experienced production partners to upgrade the bag to the highest quality standards, and finally they end up with their Master Sample Prototype. To summarize, Douchebags development process is based on real expertise, new technologies and a structured design process. This makes Douchebags products the most innovative traveling systems on the market. SPECIFICATION Weight: 3.4kg / 7.5 lbs.
