Q&A With the Project Creators

Hey Backers,
In case you missed it, we just finished up doing a live stream where we did walk throughs of both the Backpack and the Travel Pack, and answered questions from backers. You can re-watch the live stream here. This video will likely only be available for 48 hours, so be sure to check it out quick. And be sure to watch through to the end where we test the water resistance of the bag in the shower!
We received lots of questions during the live stream and tried to answer all of them, but there were likely some that slipped between the cracks. If you have any questions that we missed, please post them on the comments section of our page or direct message us.
Thanks again everyone for participating! Hopefully that was helpful and gave you a very clear view into what these packs are capable of.

Half Way There!
over 7 years ago
– Fri, Jun 09, 2017 at 08:31:51 PM
Hey Backers,
Can you believe we are half way there? These bags will be in your hands before you know it!
As we mentioned in our last update, we spent last week in Vietnam with our manufacturing partner and are excited to share some improvements we are making to deliver the best bags possible.
Here is a list of the new and improved features (we should have final samples of all changes within the next two weeks. We will provide more pictures of these changes when we receive the final samples):
Updated Velcro Panels for The Backpack – We have increased the quality of the materials and made minor tweaks to the design of all three Velcro panels to make them more firm and durable. We have added closures to the tablet pockets and elastic to the smaller pockets in order to keep your gear held in place as you move around.
Lockable Zippers – We changed all zippers on both bags to be locking zippers.
Eyelets on the Travel Pack– For improved security we have added black eyelets near the bottom zippers on the Travel Pack so that these zippers can be secured. This in conjunction with the lockable zippers makes the bag 100% lockable.
You can easily thread a TSA Cable lock from the eyelet to the zipper.
Easy Access to Expansion Section of Travel Pack for Optimal Packing. – This is perhaps our new favorite feature. We realized as we packed the travel pack for our trip that accessing the expansion section of the Travel Pack through the mesh diving wall was not easy once the entire bag was packed. To solve this, we have added a zipper inside the expansion zipper that gives you the ability to open the bag like a book for full visibility into the bag for optimal packing and easy access.
External Locking Cable – We are in the process of sourcing an external locking cable that will be sold separately after Kickstarter for those who want added security.
Improved Glasses Case – We have made the removable glasses case more ergonomic, the materials are nicer and we expanded the case to ensure it can hold most pairs of sunglasses.
Improved Buckles – We have looked long and hard for durable buckles and hardware. And we found the strongest plastic buckles in the world. (We literally stomped on the buckles and couldn’t break them.) We also added a small logo to the buckles.
Reinforced Stitching at Stress Points – We analyzed all points on the bag that receive large amounts of pressure, pull, or stress and have added reinforced stitching to ensure these bags last a lifetime.
Shoulder Strap Pocket – We researched the market, and explored this idea extensively. Based on our findings it is very hard to create a pocket that would work perfect for everyone as we would all carry different sized devices and items in this pocket. We found that there are a lot of great products on the market. So, rather than creating one to try and meet everyone’s needs, the reflective webbing on the front of the right strap will now be a reinforced strap that allows you to attach whatever pouch you want without the risk of it tearing.
We are always careful whenever we make changes to a product mid campaign, so that we don't materially change the bag too much from what people have already purchased. As you can see all changes to the bag have little to no affect to the overall design or appearance and only increase the quality and functionality of the bag.
Thank you for all of your feedback. We are excited about how functional these bags are turning out and can’t wait to get them in your hands.
Thanks for the continued support!

Hey Backers,
We have had an amazing week visiting our manufacturing partners here in Vietnam! We have spent the last 5 days going over every detail on these bags to make sure that they are the best bags we can offer. Everything is looking great, and our team is ready to rock and roll. Here is a quick look at the most recent samples of the bags:
There are a lot of details to cover (and more pictures) that we plan to share as soon as we are back in the states. In the meantime, get out and explore your world this weekend and we will talk with you next week.
