Meet the Maker: Kyle Siegel of Raide

Meet the Maker: Kyle Siegel of Raide

Looking for the perfect backcountry skiing pack (and a very good ice cragging or multi-pitch option too)? Kyle Siegel, the Founder of Raide, combined his experience from places like SpaceX and The North Face along with 10 years of backcountry skiing to create a better backpack.

🎙Today we chat with Kyle Siegel, the Founder of Raide, which makes gear that supports efficient human-powered movement in the mountains. Their first major drop is the LF 40L which may be the perfect backcountry skiing pack, but which I also think works well as an ice cragging or multi-pitch pack.

Kyle is a jack of all trades, having done hardcore engineering at places like SpaceX, learned design and development at The North Face and Db, and built tech products to boot. During that time, he’s spent the past 10 years diving into backcountry skiing and scheming up ever bigger objectives. If only there was a backpack that could keep up…

Hear more about the why and how of Raide in today’s episode.
