As we expected, managing the post campaign to deliver the ATD1 Backpack isn't easy: last weeks were spent dealing with suppliers, ordering materials and checking for interesting alternatives.
Other time-consuming tasks have been setting up an updated backers list, preparing invoices and trying to reach the very few dropped backers who disappeared after campaign's end (we miss you, if you read this!).
We've also been working on the brand new website you are surfing on right now, and we really hope you like it.
Our manufacturing partner has already received the frame sheet material, all hardware, the Cordura® fabric and the Velcro Onewrap for webbing management: we are currently waiting for lining and stretch fabrics, YKK zippers, and webbing: delivery is expected within three weeks.
We'll see if production will bring in some unexpected circumstances but, at the moment, there should be no delay on the expected shipping time at the end of January.
I'll be in our manufacturing partner's workshop at the beginning of production, so next update will likely feature pics and videos!
