Ice Bag Carrier


How it Started

Watching my badminton teammate get injured during a tournament was painful. There wasn’t anything to hold the plastic ice bag on her knee, so her hands were completely occupied. She couldn’t cheer, couldn’t move freely, she could only sit there, holding the ice bag on her leg.
What if... there was one bag that could fit most ice bags, was easy to carry(taking almost no space), and simple to put on?

Material Choice - 
Why IKEA FRAKTA Bag?

After multiple tests, observed IKEA FRAKTA Bag:
Water-resistant but not waterproof (makes it a great material for easy cleaning)
Breathable because it’s braided
Strong and can hold heavy weights
Overall, it makes a perfect material for an ice bag carrier.
