A good relationship with a manufacturer goes a long way. The final product shows that. Love the bag

The journey of this bag has been a fun one to watch. Can't imagine the feeling of releasing such a quality item after all of that work! Not to mention everything else you guys create/inspire/marathon training/etc. Nobody does it better.

Really appreciate the breakdown, not a lot of brands would do it to their audience.

Not only was this an interesting read, but that code was just what I needed to finally afford/justify purchasing one! I’ve been following your story and the bag’s creation since the start and am so excited to be able to buy one!! Can’t wait to get it! Keep up the great work :-)

I'm glad you were able to grab one and I understand the original high price point can be a large barrier. I hope the bag spends many years going on journeys with you

I hope the bag doesn’t discourage you. I love the bag so much and use it all the time. I appreciate that you made no concessions and made sure to get it right. It really shows in the quality and price of the product! The breakdown was interesting and should make people appreciate the product and quality that much more.

It probably would have been a bit more discouraging when first starting out. I have come to accept that this is all just part of the game after doing it for the last 4 or so years. The nice part is that I learn a bit about something obscure each time we try to make something new and that always keeps it interesting. Glad you like the bag - that's what it is all about.

A sometimes long an arduous process... but worth it in the end
