Yup, I did.
This is something that has been in the works for quite some time. We had some other things to take care of before we could get to the new bags...like have a new baby.
All the new materials arrive this week. The bags have been field tested. We have trimmed the fat on all Outsak bags. Our goal is to keep trimming the fat on these bags until we can not shave weight anymore. Keep in mind though, that I will not sacrifice quality for weight. Our gear has to be tough. Our gear has to weigh what we advertise. Our gear has to do the job it is intended to do.
I'm not going to give specifics today, but I will give you some hints though, think lighter, think choices. We will not be raising our prices. The dimensions of the bag will stay the same as the 2010 Outsak. The New Outsak bags will continue to include a FREE OPSAK Odor Proof Storage Bag*. We start full scale production on the NEW OUTSAK BAGS the first full week of April 2011. These bags will be available on our website May 1, 2011. We may be able to accomodate your needs sooner. We already have a small waiting list and we do have room for a few more. Contact us soon if you wish to be put on the waiting list. Availability will be limited. More details about weight and options will come next week, once all materials have been received and pass our quality control inspections.

Custom Bags
We have been getting a lot of orders for custom bags this year. The other day I made a 18 x 28 inch bag that weighed about 10.7 ounces. This bag was GIGANTIC, yet light. All custom bags come with our normal warranty. This particular bag was going to be used by a return customer on his Appalachian Trail hike this spring. We made him a custom bag last year, but this year he was more dialed in to what his specific needs were, and we made him his bag to his specifications. FYI- I WILL NOT SELL A CUSTOM BAG THAT I FEEL WILL NOT WORK. The worst thing I could do is send a customer into the field with a lousy piece of gear.
We have all kinds of material available for custom bags, give us a call, or email, and we can discuss your custom needs.
*While supplies last.

ReplyDeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteWhy the upgrades?
ReplyDeleteMike-
ReplyDeleteWe are always looking for ways to make things better. Change is good. A better bag, at a lighter weight, and it still performs as well as the previous version....seems like a no brainer.
