The most exciting thing Function launched in 2013’s SIA wasn’t a product but an “ingredient”.  Four of our products for next season are constructed from a non-woven material whose principle fiber is Dyneema ®.

For those of you who are not avid climbers or material junkies, Dyneema is a fiber which is incredibly durable and strong.  How strong you ask…  How about 10-15 times the strength of steel?  Yeah, that strong.

What this means for Function is some of the lightest and strongest bags to enter the snow sports market EVER.

SIA 2013 has just drawn to a close and it was a FANTASTIC show for Function.  We launched a mountain of new products at SIA including backpacks, gear bags and eyewear.  While most of them will not be for sale until next season we will give you all some sneak peaks on our blog in the coming days.

Stay Tuned.

Thanks Chris Weiss for a great write-up on our Ultralight Carry Systems!
