When I joined 686, Michi Bretz and I formed the Innovation team that was responsible for design and development of the Hydrastash Jacket. It was a thrill to work on such a unique concept. I will forever be proud of the extensive research, testing, and design that went into making this Jacket far more than just a fun concept. The components of the hydration system are all major innovations for hydration gear and effectively integrating them into a jacket was an extremely rewarding challenge.
I am excited to say that I am leading the design and development of the next wave of Hydrastash products. We will be bringing this technology into other types of gear, new activities, and even new seasons. I can't wait to share these designs when they are released!
