Prototype underway
The Rip Clip

Good gear shouldn't wander off.

The Rip Clip is a compact titanium pipe with a built-in wire gate. Clip it to your pack, and there’s one less loose piece to leave on a rock.

Real CAD. Prototype hardware.
The idea is simple

The pipe lives on your pack.

Most pipes are made to sit somewhere. The Rip Clip is made to go somewhere. Its body and gate form one integrated tool, so the piece you use is the piece you clip on.

  • 1
    Clip it where it belongsPack loop, belt loop, or camp kit. Keep it in sight and within reach.
  • 2
    One tool. No loose pieces.The bowl, airway, and attachment point stay together. No separate cap or tiny part staging a jailbreak in the dirt.
  • 3
    Can’t be forgottenNo matter how much you’ve enjoyed the Rip Clip, its intuitive design prevents it from being forgotten or misplaced.
Good gear earns its place

Small gear.
Clear reasons.

The benefit isn’t abstract: The Rip Clip combines the pipe and attachment point, uses titanium to keep weight down, and removes the obvious failure mode of glass. The current prototype is being built to prove the rest.

01

Stays attached

The integrated wire gate keeps the whole tool on your pack and within reach. Because retracing two miles of trail is a bad tradition.

02

No glass problem

Glass is great until it meets a rock at trail speed. The Rip Clip’s titanium body removes that particular problem.

03

Useful material. Honest claim.

Titanium is valued for its strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and use in demanding applications. Those are useful material qualities.

“A pipe to hand down to your grandkids. Good luck remembering the stories.”

That’s the ambition. Prototype testing gets the final word.
