Cascade Designs, the company behind popular brands like MSR, Therm-a-Rest, SealLine, and Platypus have introduced a new brand to their line-up: Traveling Light. The new brand will be introduced its Spring 2011 line of travel bags, protective cases, and comfort essentials at Summer Market next week.
The brand was inspired by company co-founder and Chief Product Tester, John Burroughs. One of the core philosophies behind the brand is that each piece of gear must be essential, and be able to be used in multiple ways. An added plus: most of the products are manufactured in the US, at their Seattle headquarters. Here’s a sneak peak at a few of the products being introduced:
WideMouth Carry-on
An easy-to-pack bag with roll-top waterproof protection. The 40-liter size will meet most airline carry-on standards.
E-Case
A waterproof electronic case that is compatible with touchscreen technology. Clear window allows for full functionality of the electronic device while sealed inside.
Compressible Pillow
Lightweight, machine-washable pillow that packs down easily. Filling is up-cycled waste from the production process.
We’ll be taking a closer look at these products next week and hopefully testing a few in the field.
