Hey guys here is the new prototype! Spent all weekend working with the seamstress. There are a couple things that need some attention like simple outside accessible pockets and just tweaking the dimensions of the flap and main tube.
I have been using it folded in half as a day pack and I can honestly say it is quite comfy for a cross strap bag. When you tighten it down the whole way it really sucks right to your body! Getting on and off trains and more simpler than ever, it's low profile width allows you to just swing the bag across against your chest avoiding having to take it on and off an be bumping into others.
There is not doubt that this thing will keep your gear dry! I wore it all day yesterday walking in the city while it was sleeting. I think our fabric choice will be the number one motif for people buying our bag, it's incredibly durable and is extremely waterproof. It looks great too! It definitely looks like a high end handmade bag that runs for $200 and up. And we're only selling these for around sixty or seventy bucks!
I have a contact on 115th street that we will be meeting later this week to talk to about production. They are a full service factory and we will have a more exact idea how much these things will cost to manufacture. Right now we are looking at a mere six bucks in materials! That's a lot of real estate were creating for only six bucks!
It has been really exciting working with you guys and I hope we can carry through with the hard work and enthusiasm everyone has been putting forth and make this thing a 110% legit!
