Alpinight
Alpinight is a personal protection and integrative lighting system that aims to simplify gear and weight management while optimizing the multi-pitch climbing experience. Beyond mere utility, Alpinight's aesthetics aim to incentivize the safer and more responsible climbing habit of wearing a helmet. As a designer and climber, I saw the need for a product that promotes safe climbing, while giving climbers a sense of confidence both on and off the wall. Thus, my approach to designing Alpinight was to curb some of the stigmas around helmets by creating a product that climbers would want to wear. The Alpinight helmet features a sleek, minimalist design that instills confidence in the climber without drawing unnecessary attention. Its strategically positioned vents and adjustable fitting system ensure maximum comfort with extended use. The Alpinight headlamp features a similarly minimalist design, that visually and functionally merges with the Alpinight helmet. The headlamp features a one-handed and blind connection through a magnetic attachment system. This mechanism enables reliable lighting on the wall, as well as off when it is removed from the helmet and attached to another accessory mount.
