TRANSPACK® Hires BC/OC – What’s UP Public Relations
New York, New York, TRANSPACK® boot backpack and ski/board travel systems has hired What’s Up PR for added publicity punch. What’s Up PR is recognized as one of the original boutique branding and public relations firms in the snow sports and outdoor specialty markets.
The TRANSPACK® Boot Backpack is the #1 boot bag sold in the U.S.A., nothing else compares. The New 2007/2008 Pro Series packs are bomb-proof and loaded with features, and all TRANSPACK® boot backpacks feature the patented Isosceles Storage System™. Two side pockets for boots surround a large central compartment that accommodates a helmet and other gear. Weight and bulk from the boots is distributed sideways, away from your back, creating a natural suspension that is ergonomic and comfortable. Grommets in side pockets provide ventilation and drainage from moisture and melting snow.
The 2007/2008 product offering includes the NEW PRO SERIES: TVR PRO-“for the world travelerâ€- 1680 ballistic nylon, air/water drainage, water resistant tarpaulin, closed cell foam padded back with ID holder, contour shoulder straps, internal stash pockets and more. The NEW XT PRO: “the competitors choiceâ€- just as tough as the TRV PRO, a bit smaller for travel and light weight. And the NEW SIDEKICK PRO- super light, external frame– with the Delta Strap System that easily and securely holds the boots with offering plenty of storage for helmet and more. The TRANSPACK® series offers fabulous new patterns this year in hounds tooth, floral, camo and bold colors with ski and board bags to match!
Gene Kliot founded TRANSPACK® in 1995 with two desks, a computer, and a mission to design the most specialized, functional, unique bags and backpacks for the action sports market. Today it is the #1 selling boot bag in the nation! The Isosceles Storage System™ revolutionized what a skate/boot backpack should be. TRANSPACK® offers carrying systems for kids, boards, skis; and pushes the limits with the Delta Skate Strap System, and for snowboarders, the Convertible.
TRANSPACK® is dedicated to continuing its growth and to the development of new and unique sports packs. TRANSPACK® bags can be found in stores across the country and are carried by distributors worldwide. www.transpack.net
