we first came to the Kickstarter community about a year ago with our passion project the provoke path we're both crazy about travel and photography but couldn't find a bag that we were really stoked about found that the most bags like cargo shorts they're incredibly functional and surprisingly functional but you lose all dignity wearing and all the bags that we found that actually looked decent the sacrifice functionality so we started thinking about all the great inventors out there da Vinci Edison chef boyardee we thought we could honestly we've been overwhelmed by the response we got on Kickstarter as well as the entire photography community the provoked packets won several awards and turned out not to be just a great photography bag but a great all-around bag for anyone and we far surpassed our goal on our first guest writer we've shipped bags to backers in over 40 different countries and the response we've had from them has been incredible so after the project was over we started getting two major requests from our backers one they wanted a smaller bag in the liner and two the non photographers like the bags so much that they wanted an ala carte option so they could purchase just the bag and add on a few accessories so we went to the drawing board right away after months of hard work we're excited to introduce that provoke 21 it's the ideal size for everyday carry a perfect companion on any trip and is destined to be the best friend of film compact and mirrorless cameras everywhere the provoke 21 comes with the same innovative features as the original provoke pack such as easy to use lay flat packing an expandable roll top allowing you to carry more gear when you need it with the roll top down the pack holds 21 liters of gear and fully extended it holds 25 litres our trifold faa-approved laptop sleeves that fits up to a 15 inch laptop and allows you to breeze through airport security a secure passport pocket that sits against your back keeping it safe from thieves and for you photographers the camera cube is easily added or removed depending on whether you are bringing your camera gear or leaving it at home we've designed the dividers out of a thin molded foam that is durable yet space-saving and allows you to customize your gear the way you would like the site access make sure your camera is accessible when you need it and the long divider was engineered to swing open so you have quick access to an additional lens the integrated camera sling is more comfortable than an extra and gives you instant access to your camera but we did just make a smaller bag we made it better we added Y Kate case weather resistant zippers giving more protection to your gear when you need it the most this coupled with the tarpaulin and ballistic nylon means that you won't have to worry about unexpected weather getting into your back we redesigned the accessory straps to be more secure and have increased functionality these allow you to strap gear to your bag and use your bag as a hands-free workstation we improve the magnetic tote handles making them stronger and easier to use the upgraded two removable padded waist straps helping you to distribute the weight of your gear evenly and comfortable and we use the new material on the rain fly making it thinner and lighter but just this durable and finally we added a key and accessory pocket giving you even more organization we've obsessed over every detail of this backpack every component down to the stitching has been chosen for its durability and aesthetic quality in other words the provoked pack looks damn good functions even better ultimate goal isn't just to make great products but to inspire others to get out and explore we also wouldn't mind if you clicked on that green button over there and helps make this reality but no pressure please please what do you bring to work how do you get there the tools we use have evolved but how we carry them hasn't kept up until now introducing slim fold slim pack a minimal modular and modern commuter backpack built for today's tools and lifestyles the highly technical custom-made soft shell material truly sets the slim pack apart from existing bags it's manufactured by a mill which produces material for such brands as North base and gore-tex combined with high-end weatherproof zippers the pack will protect its contents from splashes and rain without an additional cover while traditional backpacks are like SUVs you drag around the slim pack is a sports card that hugs your body hi I'm Dave from slim fold I introduced the world's thinnest wallet with my first Kickstarter now I've applied my design approach to reimagine the backpack backpacks are way too big for what people carry these days they're still made for these when all you really need to work is one of these when I surveyed previous backers about what I should make next a minimal backpack was the number-one request I've been working for the past two years to bring this perfect pack to life just like I designed a minimal wallet around modern everyday carry I designed the slim pack around today's work tools the main pocket suspends a 15-inch MacBook Pro and the front pocket uses the footprint of an iPad the patent-pending geometry of the slim pack gives you complete visibility and access to what's inside this pack is smaller and lighter than traditional backpacks but makes no compromises with the shoulder straps they have an ergonomic shape are padded vented and feature a pivot strap that adapts with you as you move want to leave your laptop behind take out the padded divider inspired by the professional camera bag the interior can be configured exactly according to what you carry I've completed two Kickstarter campaigns and delivered the rewards for each of them on time now I'm asking for your support to help bring the slim pack to life for being an early backer I'll pass along the savings to you and you'll be the first to get one whether you pledge for a slim pack or a special edition Kickstarter wallet it'll help out a lot thanks for your support word peak design last year our fifth Kickstarter with Trey Ratcliff brought the everyday messenger to life and people loved it but that was just the first step it gave us a foundation to build on and building well that's exactly what we've been up to let's start here the peak design headquarters in San Francisco where our ideas and inventions are hatched think sketch discuss build test and repeat this isn't a sprint it's long painstaking detail oriented we take our time but that's okay cuz well we're different we have no investors no revenue goals no artificial deadlines no PowerPoint presentations just us our customers and our partners here in the Mekong Delta Peak design bags are hard to make every piece of hardware custom every pattern unique everything meticulously crafted to solve a specific problem we work hand in hand with our suppliers to perfect every last detail and when those details come together the result speaks for itself friends and backers were proud to announce not one but four new everyday bags the everyday backpack tote and sling offering unrivaled versatility access organization and expansion thoughtfully compose to hold your photo gear but designed for everyone on the back package mag latch returns for rapid top access to a vast expandable main compartment in both the twenty and thirty liter versions weatherproof side zips allow dual side access to an endlessly configurable storage space thoughtful organization is everywhere an expandable laptops leave is separately accessed inner side panels feature protective pockets for smaller items wrap around side pockets retain a clean aesthetic but provide instant external carry when you need it there's a place for capture and for your keys but it's the concealed expansion panel that lets you carry just about anything there's a lot of ways to carry it or not carry it and brilliant ways of securing it lots of us are backpack kind of folks and we think this is the best everyday backpack there is but there's plenty more ways to carry tote bags have convenient access large capacity and classic appeal put many lank organization and utility not this tote a secure magnetic clasp keeps the tote weatherproof but opens in a moment dual side zip panels give you priority access to your most needed items inside and out you'll find pockets for days including dedicated laptop and tablet sleeves flex fold dividers let you stack your gear and create

be ambassadors to a new way of doing business and we look forward to seeing you back here again thank you
