Coaxsher™ Develops D. A. S. Dual Action Stabilizer™ for Outdoor Utility Packs

PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 14, 2008 – Wenatchee, Washington – Coaxsher’s Kyle Cox announced today that the company has added its new patent-pending Dual Action Stabilizer™ technology to two of its outdoor utility packs, the
FS-1 Ranger and SR-1 Endeavor. This new stabilizer system, nicknamed DAS, adds increased functionality and maximum versatility to the top-selling packs which are used by wilderness firefighters, search and rescue teams, emergency medical personnel and ski patrols.

The purpose of the DAS system is to achieve two functions with one action. By pulling the waist belt strap, the load bearing strap tightens, bringing the load onto the back in one smooth motion. In other packs, multiple adjustments are often needed to situate the pack on the back in a comfortable position. Knowing the challenge, Cox wanted Coaxsher’s packs to be optimized for easy use, particularly for wilderness use and heavy loads where packs sit lower on the back.

“In the backpack world, there is a constant struggle to make the pack more comfortable, and we are always looking for a way to make a design function better,” Cox explained. “We made it so when users tighten the waist belt, they also tighten the load-bearing strap, simplifying the process of securing the pack. The DAS brings the load into the lower back for a better ride.”

To date, Coaxsher™ has added the patent-pending DAS system to its FS-1 Ranger and SR-1 Endeavor packs. Both packs are available online and at retail locations throughout the United States. The packs have been priced to include the DAS system at no additional cost to the customer.

With a shared passion for the outdoors, brothers Kevin and Kyle Cox founded Coaxsher™ in February 2001 to design and create versatile, user-friendly outdoor gear. Based in Wenatchee, Washington, their gear is used around the world by wilderness firefighters, search and rescue teams, emergency medical technicians and ski patrols.
