"We know there are FUN FACTS and / or a BACKSTORY! Please share!"
Honestly, the idea first came about over a drink with colleagues and mountain guide partners at ISPO (laughs). Archimedes didn‘t have his eureka moment at his desk, but in the bathtub! But it was a long way from the idea to the first really well-functioning prototype and then to the final product. It took many months of development in the lab and tests in the snow.
