While I admire the drive you have for creating a great backpack, IMO unfortunately you're a bit late for this, at least in my area.

Kids these days in the NYC and tri state area only carry around paper/pencil if they are into analog art, and that is dying out too. All they really need is a laptop, power supply, and lunch.

It really doesn't matter if their backpack can stand upright, or has all those compartments or fancy straps. A $60 fjallraven kanken backpack is lightweight, waterproof, ergonomic, and can hold a laptop, power supply, and food.

In any case I hope I'm wrong and wish you success.

Haven't cared about a single one since. Went from 5% trash to 95% trash.

I drop ship overpriced backpacks from China. AMA!

Ouf!! That's even worse than I thought!

Yes, this is basically a really niche product. I know there are expensive backpacks out there, but this is almost like Gucci for kids (I know, I am exaggerating, but it makes little sense). One can applaud their efforts at making it a go of it, but the pricing doesn't match market reality. This is like trying to be the Apple of kids' backpacks and even then...I am going to ask how many of you are parents here and how many would pay $110 for their kids' backpacks?

I hear you. I've had a unique design for a bag in my head for years. Congratulations that it happened for you!

ha ha.

God I think even 50$ is steep.

It’s a damn bag and not for my wife

Is it bullet proof? Because if it isn’t, America doesn’t need another weak snowflake company.

Needs a fucking reality check, too.

Does it come in clear so we can see their gun?

Because it's very overpriced, the warranty is short, and he didn't explain why it's better than competitor's ergonomic backpacks.

For children?

No idea why the comments here are so negative. This is an extremely well-designed backpack for kids. Is it expensive? Yes, but it's also new production and niche product. Sure, lifetime warranty would go a long way here, but it's a freaking startup guys, give the guy a break.

I'm also a backpack enthusiast (I've backpacked 10+ national parks and countless other weekend trips) and I own several high-end backpacks that cost $300+ from Osprey, Arcteryx, Jansport and others, and this has the same attention to detail and utility that I'd expect from those well-established brands, which is impressive.

Clearly this backpack isn't for EVERY family, but if you're middle or upper-middle income bracket and also value a very functional backpack for your kids, this is certainly one of the best options that I've personally ever seen.

Dude needs a marketing department

It is absolutely a phase that lasts until you've bought a backpack that fits your needs.

Does this backpack have a pocket for vapes?

$110 for something meant to last with lots of features is not excessive. A good bag for adults runs $200+. When is the last time you shopped outside of a WalMart?

I relent and will delete.

Definitely, this showed up on my front page with 0 up votes and no comments.

True, I guess I should have added more context to my last sentence. it was more in realtion to life in general.

> People love to hate different / poor.

Probably a nice one at first then multiple cheap ones kids don’t care

Ya, give the people what they really want! More 2 vaginas AMAs!

How did you find a manufacturer? Any advice on doing this?
