Bag company WANDRD has launched its new DUO Daypack on Kickstarter, where it has already greatly exceeded its funding goal. The backpack is designed for ‘dawn-to-dusk’ use, according to the company, with features for photographers in addition to travellers, commuters, and everyone else.
DUO Daypack features the InfiniteZip system, which involves a single zipper with multiple sliders for accessing the part of the bag that contains the needed item. The bag is described as weather-resistant against rain (and power washers, as demonstrated in the campaign).
The bag’s interior features a POP cube that can be expanded to create a ‘multifunctional space’ within which items, such as a camera, are better protected. The cube includes a padded EVA foam divider for accommodating different types of gear.
Joining the protective cube are a number of pockets, including two padded expansion pockets for lenses, hard drives, or other modestly sized items. Those two slots are joined by small mesh pockets, a large mesh pocket, zipper pockets, and a hidden passport pocket.
The DUO Daypack has a 20L capacity and measures 29cm x 16.5cm x 49.5cm (11.5in x 6.5in x 19.5in) with a weight of 1.2kg (2.6lbs). WANDRD is offering the bag to Kickstarter backers with an ‘early bird’ price of $ 175 USD, a discount off the anticipated $ 219 USD retail price. Assuming the campaign is successful, WANDRD expects to start shipping to campaign backers in December 2019.
