We moved everything around in the office, and have had limited Internet connectivity while our network was down. Our network is scheduled to go down again on Monday, but hopefully that [...]

The V4 45L packs look awesome. Already slim and trim, the V4 version will be 200-300g lighter than the V3. We achieve this by replacing the 500d side and back panels with 210d Dyneema-Cordura.This fabric was unavailable for a while, and we are glad to have it back; it’s light and tough.

The new 30L’s will start shipping next week. They’ve been being tested for the past several months, and they’re really good now. The rest of the V4 line is coming as we draw down our old inventory.
The Wall Pack will be available for pre-order next week. We haven’t really figured out the price yet, but we’re working on it. We’re ready to go with them in the original Big Wally size (about 60 Liters Huge), and a smaller one about 40 Liters. We’re not quite happy with the 20L and the [...]
I’m back at work. I’m still a bit under the weather, but we’re getting through it. I’ve got to take some pictures a bit later today and catch up on emails and voicemails. We’re starting production of the Blue, Teal and Red 60L packs. We’re prototyping out the Kid’s Pack, for Evan of Summits For [...]
