The RC Flakpak is based on the F-22 Raptor. I've designed the exterior doors to mimic the Raptor's payload doors. The bag has wing flap and rocket inspired styling. Inside the bag's payload doors are flush mounted pockets for all your accessories. This bag is designed to carry mid to large sized laptops, with plenty of extra storage for books, spare batteries and charger. The bag is armored to keep your electronics from getting dinged.

The RC Autodriver is a "quick deploy" snowboard tool that fits in your pocket. By unlocking the safety and pulling the trigger, the driver pops out ready for action. Comes with a #2 and #3 Phillips and a flathead bit. The spare bits are strored in a magazine in the handle. The base of the magazine has an 8mm and 10mm wrench built-in. There is also an integrated LED flashlight for working in dark conditions. With a rearward pulling action on the cocking knob, the driver is set for it's next usage.

The RC K.I.S.S. Driver is a snowboard tool pared down to the bare minimums. K.I.S.S. stands for 'Keep It Super Simple'. It has a #2 and #3 Phillips bit, an 8mm and 10mm wrench, a popout arm for lace tightening and for extra leverage (it also doubles as a bottle opener for après-riding). It all fits in a nice small package.

I took the RC Flak logo (which is the letter "R" and "C" in the shape of a sub-machine gun), and stretched out into long-gun for to make the Flak M50 logo. We used M50 t for the screens on our canvas wristbands..

The RC Frag Keychain is a leather pad in a grenade shape. I think what makes this work is the keyring. It completes the grenade look.

Designed the RC Summer 2004 Catalog. A multi-page print with men's items on one side, and women's items on the flipside. Came up with the "angular/military" look for the men's section, and the "disco/bubblegum" look for the women's section. Took all the lifestyle photos and product shots, and edited all the layout and copy. Designed the RC "Flak" logo and the RC "Urb" logo, which are stylized letters.. R and C. All products in the catalog were designed by me: Golgo73.

The RC Gina Bag comes in three different sizes. Small, medium and large. The one pictured below is the medium version. The Gina is based on an asymmetrical flavor. Inside the bag, you'll find organizer pockets for a cell, lipstick, eyeliner, cards, pda/music player, and other necessities.

I tried to give the RC Heather Pack a nice clean look. There are no unnecessary parts dangling from the bag. The pack has a 'fastback' design, and the shoulder straps are ergonomically designed to fit a woman's anatomy. Internally, things are kept organized with interior cargo pockets. The Heather Pack has enough storage for a short day trip in the city, but is just small enough so it doesn't look bulky.

 The RC Jackal Pack is a 'Jack of all trades' type of bag. It is designed to work in winter or summer conditions. The bag has hidden snowboard-carry straps and a fully sized, fleece-lined goggle pocket for winter use. The pack also has a bike-safe features and a forced-air cooling system for the summer use. As the biker wearing the Jackal Pack hunches over while riding their bike, air is forced into tubes mounted on the shoulder straps. In turn, the air is pushed out the other end of the tubes, which blows stale air away from the user's back. This increased circulation of air, in combination with a suspended mesh back panel, keeps the wearer's back comfortable and relatively sweat-free. This bag also comes in a women's version called the RC Jill Pack. The main difference is that the bag is slightly shorter and comes with ladies-specific shoulder straps.

 The RC Highboard Bag is a fully padded snowboard bag that will fit a board/s up to 178cm long. Made of durable 600d polyesters. Large zippers, exterior carge pockets, internal gear pockets and compression straps, beefy grab handles, and in-line wheels make this a great bag.

The RC Nappy Sack was designed to be a board case as well as a sleeping bag. When fnappysack the bag is in board-carry mode. When fully unzipped, the bag becomes an indoor sleeping bag. The Nappy Sack is fully padded, so it's quite comfortable to lie in. The sleeping pocket is fully fleece lined, and can be zipped out for washing. The sleep pocket is separated by a waterproof divider, so wet boards won't result in a wet sleeping bag. Will fit boards up to 175cm. Great for crashing at a friends cabin/hotel room.

The RC Teamworks is based on the French TGV. RC needed a bag that could carry both skis and snowboards, so I came up with this two-tiered design. Initially it was just this huge coffin, but I decided to streamline it, and tried to make it look smaller than it actually is. It can hold two pairs of skis up to 190cm in the bottom section, and 2 snowboards (1 with bindings, and 1 without) up to 168cm in length, in the upper section. It is fully padded, and has eurethane wheels for easy transport.
