Designed to carry & commemorate life's journeys.

Any backpack can get you from point A to point B, but the HEDi-PACK was created with the understanding that it’s just a handful of moments in our lives that make us the people we are today. Every HEDi-PACK comes with added Velcro areas for you to celebrate these moments, customizing your HEDi-PACK by adding patches.

The first HEDi-PACK was created to commemorate an annual fishing trip. The guys loved this trip and this tradition, and wanted a way to time stamp it forever. The original HEDi-PACKS were homemade displaying patches for last names, alma maters, country flags, jersey numbers, and custom patches representing a key moment in that person’s life.

HEDi-PACKS & The Annual Fishing Trip

Originally homemade, the first HEDi-PACK was created to commemorate an annual fishing trip. The HEDi-PACKS have become a fixture on the fishing trip every year since as they’re slowly getting covered with additional patches as the guys make more memories together.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

Our Story

HEDi founder Bret Hedican is a Stanley Cup Champion and two-time Olympian. But the HEDi story begins with a youth hockey jacket Bret had growing up in North Saint Paul, Minnesota. The jacket had patches on it, and each hockey season new patches would be added from tournaments Bret played in, or championships his team won. Eventually Bret grew out of his hockey coat, but it meant so much to him that his mom sewed the patches onto a quilt. A quilt that sits on Bret’s living room couch to this day.

The quilt stuck around because it reminded Bret of those years playing hockey, the out-of-town tournaments, and the friendships he made. And the truth was it wasn’t just a hockey coat or a quilt, it was his story. That’s the business we’re in at HEDi. We believe everyone has their own story, and their own journey. And the people we become are the direct result of key moments and milestones along the way.

Moments Make Us.

At HEDi it’s our mission to help you collect and remember these moments. And most importantly, to take them with you. Life is short, take a few souvenirs.
