Hoodie came about as we considered ways to simplify/reduce cost on what are three separate items (SnapDeck, Right FreeLoader bag, Left FreeLoader bag). The name Hoodie, and the function of this simple system, evokes the integrated sweatshirt-hat-gloves that’s an ever so comfortable and simple way to stay warm.
Simultaneously, we were seeking a different aesthetic than the FreeLoader/SnapDeck combo - something more sleek, unified and integrated. Less of the straps-a-plenty look and feel, and more of the wheel fairing or engine cowling look. A true cover, hiding all the mechanical intricacies, and leaving only a pure form - function and fashion. Okay, so no one would say that a Hoodie sweatshirt is the essence of form meets function, but there is something casual yet cool about wearing a Hoodie out to brunch.
