O’Neill H4 Campack

November 28th, 2007

OneilThe O’Neill H4 Campack is designed to be used as a fully functional snowboard backpack with the addition of an integrated portable media player and external camera lens.

With ease-of-use lying at the heart of the H4 Campack, the wearer is able to start and stop recording almost effortlessly by pressing a large button positioned on the left shoulder strap. There is most probably no better way to film freestyle and freeride snowboarding action.

The portable media player is positioned in the backpack’s top pocket safely stored between protective padding. The media player records all the action captured by the goggle strap or helmet mounted camera lens. For instant review on the mountain slope, open the top pocket and check your action via the media player’s screen. For sharing or Internet upload, take out the SD card which is used for video storage and copy the videos to a laptop.

Definitely a pretty nice idea and actually something that makes sense. The O’Neill H4 Campack will soon be available at the Colette online store.

We Are All Vane Pendant

November 27th, 2007

VaneVane developed a new version of the “We Are All Vane” Pendant.

“This jewelry piece is def pretty controversial, but fun. The partner’s in Vane are all different religions, so that got us to thinking about dudes rocking crosses and things like that. The piece is a combination of three major religion’s symbols: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. This piece is def one of our favorites because it describes city life so well – many different ethnicities, religions, cultures, and ideas all living together. Vane def thinks that the world loses sight of the fact that we are all equal and can coexist.”

The pendant comes in three different finishes – gun metal plated, brass plated, and silver plated. All the pieces are made of pewter. The pewter pieces sell for $85. They also created a sterling silver version, which sells for $1200. The piece was carved by hand in silver and then lost cast molded – this gives it a unique feel. The piece is 100% made in New York like all Vane goods. The pendant comes on a great 36 inch brass rope chain.
