2 Weeks to go!

Hey Guys, here's yet another update! I'm really trying my hardest to keep everyone in the loop as much as possible. We have a little over 2 weeks to go until our launch date (March 8th!!) and needless to say, we have been scrambling to get a million things done in preparation.

To Kick things off we will be offering 5 colors (Black, Olive, Brown, Red & Blue) in 3 sizes. All colors and sizes will come standard with a Black Ballistic nylon base, and a strip of reflective taps running along the base edge. As always, the bags are hand made to order in-house. In the coming months we will be beefing up our color options (Fabric/Liner/Base/Trim & Velcro) and adding them to the site, so be sure to stay tuned!

I'm sure that some of you noticed, Kyle over at
Tracko did yet another brief spread on us this morning. I dropped by Orange20 Bikes the other day, so he could ch
eck out our up-coming Small & Medium bags. He ended up taking some awesome photos, that I figured I would share with all of you. They help put the bags to scale, and will hopefully give you guys a better idea of what to expect from us. Modeling the Small and Medium is Ace, and modeling the Large is myself. Keep in mind, he is 5'6" and I am 6'2" so the comparison isn't as exact, as our future scale shot's will be. I have also typed up the measurements for everything, and have released the pricing on all bags.

That's about it for this round of updates, now we get to go make 20 bags from scratch, photograph them, and get them on the site, so that we can finally get them to you!!

Enough Chit-Chat, on to the bags!



SMALL MESSENGER//


The Outer portion of the Small (under the flap) is sectioned off into 7 separate storage areas. 4 Open Pockets, 1 Stash pocket and 2 Pen & Tool Holders. Inside the main compartment, there is 1 additional velcro enclosed pocket spanning the entire inner wall of the bag. As far as the size of the inner pocket goes, it can fit a 15" MacBook (while the velcro won't close it hold's snug, and comes flush to the top of the pocket. It's the perfect size for holding a spare notebook of two, while keeping those pesky book corners, from digging into your back while riding.

The large also features compression straps across the base helping to shrink the bag down, when empty (not to mention that it will also cinch down and hold shipping tubes), keeping it nice and comfy, either empty or full.
