Well I believe he was the only one I ever saw with something like this system. Just wondering really. I don't think freeride systems even makes them anymore.

You may well be right, but thinking this is one of those ideas that would be extremely hard to protect... like socks or toilet paper or a toaster.

It is called a patent. You should google it/

Kinda what I was wondering. I recall this idea being one of his first forays into sewing then it bloomed from there. Was shocked when it popped on my FB feed somehow and it wasn't a link to his shit.

I doubt Micol got a patent on it though.

I still have the lifelink strap thingy that carries a shovel and probe. That probably had a patent.

you've got to be kidding me.

does Cody have patent on his belts?

There are some things that you just have to make better than somebody else, and let the market sort it out. Like socks, and toasters, and toilet paper, and also backpacks

Contact area code is Bronx fwiw
I'm all about intellectual property.
If Mike did get patent then I hope he gets royalties. Frequently it's hard for people to get one, which was the context of my million dollar idea thread.

[jfost]

not only that, but then you have to put up $$$ to enforce it.

Do you know how patents work? They don't last forever. Toilet paper, socks, and toasters all had patents at one point.

But yeah, I really doubt Micol would have taken the time and money to patent his carry system. Many small companies don't.

thats a knock off , bronx lol...... i bet theirs doesnt carry a shovel and probe like mine.....had the one year patent thing ....was going to be like $15k to get full blown patent and then pay to go after people to collect for knockoffs, some other dood launched one a few years back had a booth at sia and all, from rhode islqnd school of design , i laughed .... out of business, now, as i suspect this group will do too,....

if they can make a go out of it from the bronx they should just buy me out......meeelion dollars.... lol

Well I'm glad you're not really getting ripped off, and I think onto bigger and better things anyway.

You have taken it to the next level but the concept has been around for while. Not like the one in question but Indigo had something that worked well but wasn't pocket friendly.


I never used it.

So like you mean not the same? The pocket portion was the main feature far as I can tell.

Sorry not clear on your question.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

It's like you guys are arguing about who's shit smells worse, it's still shit.

[Kenny Satch]

^^I'm not making an argument
Just an observation by example

I'm sure you make a great carrier, my comments were more about the arguing about different carriers and the patent stupidity. It's not a novel idea not matter how great the materials and construction are.
