Capra combines a backpack with safety equipment for a hiker in Via Ferrata routes.
These routes invite people for a mountaineering experience of hiking and secure climbing integrated into breathtaking paths.
While mountaineering the Alps, you would be amazed to discover that many hikers relinquish their safety on Via Ferrata routes due to the cumbersomeness and the time required to extract the equipment from the backpack and wear it. Austrian research discovered that within ten years, over 90% of casualties in Via Ferrata routes were not secured! This piece of information was a guiding light for the Capra project.
The idea is to merge the harness, helmet, and energy absorbent into the backpack, thus allowing the traveler a quick and comfortable transition from walking mode to secure mode. All this, within less than a minute, without removing the backpack or even bending down.
