I’m developing a premium adjustable body-worn strap and am looking for a soft-goods product developer, industrial designer, or engineer with experience in wearable ergonomics, straps, bags, or similar products.
I am not looking for a tech-pack designer or CAD illustrator at this stage. I need help determining the ergonomic, material, construction, and adjustment approach before the final tech pack is created.
The goal is a slim, elevated, fashion-forward strap that naturally conforms to the body and remains comfortable during prolonged wear.
I do not want a bulky padded, athletic, backpack-style, or guitar-strap appearance. The challenge is to achieve comfort and effective pressure distribution while maintaining a refined, minimal profile.
The strap will also require adjustability across multiple wearing lengths while preserving a clean appearance.
I need guidance on:
* comfort and pressure distribution
* natural body conformity
* material and construction recommendations
* thickness, flexibility, and structure
* edge comfort
* adjustment-system design
* durability and manufacturability
* prototype recommendations
Material selection is still open and should be guided by comfort, durability, appearance, and manufacturability.
Initial scope: review the concept and provide ergonomic, material, construction, and adjustment recommendations that can later be incorporated into a technical design and prototype.
Please include examples of previous bags, straps, wearables, slings, backpacks, or similar body-worn soft-goods products where comfort, fit, or load distribution was an important part of the design.
