RMU Launches MTB Cargo Collection on Indiegogo
Because I recently bought a MTB, I am suddenly interested in cargo bags, accessories, float, sag and a bunch of other kit and words whose name and uses are somewhat foreign but slowly becoming less vague and meaningless. Add to this list new product from RMU - a Colorado/Whistler based company better known for its skis, gear, design, and manufacturing prowess. They are now entering the MTB fray with a crowdfunder, using the same or similar fabrics and engineering from RMU’s technical equipment and applying it to Tailgate Lockers, Enduro Fannys, and their MTB Utility Belt.
In road life, these products have little to no use. Frankly even the thought of wearing them seems more than slightly obscure and even a little bit more bizarre. But in MTB life, where I now notice people wearing fanny packs and bags to ride - and whose utility is becoming obvious for storing massive tubes, repairs kits and H2O and other gear - these items are suddenly taking on new purpose to the point where I’m more than curious to try them and to see where this whole thing goes.
RMU started in a garage in 2008, by pressing skis by hand in exchange for beer. This sounds pretty cool. Today they make skis with only renewable energy in their Swedish factory and are headquartered in Breckenridge and Whistler. Details on the MTB kit are up on their site. Hopefully the bits go into production soon so we can try em out.
