I have added my funds a while back and look forward to the completed project.

I have said it once before and I'll say it again, this is a brilliant concept and design and I am so excited for it to arrive.

Yep. Looking forward to it. Went for another ride this past week that needed to use routing on my phone and was figuring out how to jigger this on my current hbar bar. Come winter I'll also have the light issue as well. Hopefully they can deliver on time with all the orders they've not got in.

Also stoked to get this, looks to be a dramatic improvement over the Ortlieb I had been using.

I snuck in the last 'super early bird', but a very impressive campaign with 1,757 total backers and something like 750% of the fundraising goal

In which country are these bags made? Can you talk about what controls you have in place to make sure the workers who make the bag are paid a living wage and work in safe conditions?

Got mine yesterday, really well designed. Just the form factor I was looking for. Need to fiddle with the gps mount but that seems pretty cool too. Very glad I backed.

How are the light mounts? Are they part of the rigid structure of the bag? It seems they would jiggle a bit, throwing off the light's coverage.

i think they're just doing one thing at a time right now, trying to make this first one a success before they take on another one.

lightmounts are little buckets that are screwed to the rim of the bag. there is a 3mm screw, and the buckets have small keyed male protrusions that fit into female notches on the bag's rim. this little touch keeps the bucket from spinning while you tighten the screw, but also keeps the bucket from spinning if the light gets knocked or pulled in a way that would otherwise spin the bucket and loosen the screw.

Anyone buy post Kickstarter ...

I just went to buy 2 bags and some accessories and shipping is almost $40 with 11-22 day delivery. Seems very excessive, or shipping from far flung places or some raw calculation on their website.

I dropped them a note to get clarity, but I thought I would see others experience.

Hopefully made in better conditions / controls than the Pixel 4a you're currently using.
