Ghost Advanced Smart Backpack

@Mark - Thank you for supporting our project, we are glad to hear you like it as much as we do! You're correct if you get caught in heavy rainfall all your items will still remain dry. The multiple tests we did were...
1.) Heavy water jet test. Which it easily passed
2.) We submerged it 1 meter underwater. And had multiple results, we would not recommend submerging your backpack underwater as over time water will find its way in.

Gentlemen, there is a lot to like about your pack. I especially like its appearance. The construction seems to make it waterproof, but I am suspicious. This is difficult to achieve, and few make this claim. By waterproof I take it to mean the inside will be dry should the wearer get caught in a downpour while wearing it, and not by dropping it in a pool. This is usually best tested with a shower. Place the pack upright in a shower, and simply turn the water on. My question is; how have you tested it's waterproof-ness?

We have added in a update and some more pledges :)
Thank you all for your support! We are extremely thrilled by all support we have been getting!

@Zorlofe - We might include a adapter!

Considering that USB C is quickly becoming the standard, is it possible that Ghost will support that instead of the old USB 2 type on the charging port? That or include and adapter?

We just reached our first stretch goal! Soon we will be adding in a update and details to the next stretch goal!
Stay tuned :) We are thankful for all your support!

@Steve - We are hoping to make this into a stretch goal! Will keep you updated.

@Creator Thank you so much for your reply and consideration about the suggestions. Cheers.

Time for the next stretch goal!

Can you leave opening in the zippers tab so i can put a lock on it, if that's not going to be a stretch goal

@Aura - The backpack is about ip65 water resistant! We will be adding this into our FAQ's :) @Tan Mui Hua May - When designing the backpack we initially had more quick access pockets, but we feel as if they weren't secure enough to your items safe. So instead we opted for a simple sleek design, and focused on keeping your valuables away from harm.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Is it possible to add on more quick access pockets?

Thank you for answering my question! I would also like to ask if you have an IP Enclosure Rating for how waterproof your backpack is? It could also be a handy thing to add to your FAQ.

@Brennand Sherman - To get another backpack you simply just add $95 on your existing pledge! @Dustin Harris - We have added in 2 more stunning color options! For now we are focusing on working on other stretch goals... Perhaps in the future there will be more color options. Thank you for all your support! :)

@Vishal Sanghavi - Yes, you will have a choice of which color you want! There will be a survey once the project ends. @Tan Mui Hua May - Yes, more than just cards and cash. The chances of items falling out of the quick access pocket really slim or non-existent. Your items will be held securely due to the way the pocket was designed! Everything on the inside of the pocket is placed slightly under the opening ensuring that it doesn't fall out. @Sirong.H - We are looking into ways of making this happen! I can directly message you to get a personal opinion from a backer :)

The all black looks super sleek. Would there ever be an all white one?

So I'm wanting to know if there is a way of getting more then 2 i know a couple of other proteome third would be great for and I want to get it for them without having to use a second account

I hope the design will still be sleek and minimalist if you guys decide to adopt some of the suggestions :)

Hi,
I am one of your backers. Your left strap has a convenient quick access pocket. Is it possible to add in more of such quick access pockets. Does the quick access pocket on the left strap comes with a zipper? It would be good if there is so as to reduce the chances of items in that pocket falling out.

I am new to Kickstarter. I have just backed this project in $95 category. Can I get to choose the colour of backpack I will recieve please. Thanks, Vishal

Wow... We are so thankful for all your support! Stay tuned for the next stretch goal because we almost reached our 1st one!

@Andrew, We love to hear feedback and consider all suggestions. Perhaps maybe we add in reflective stickers and you the backers have the choice if you want to add them onto the backpack. We are still working on ways of making this work. @Aura, We are in the works of making reflective stickers that could be used for different styling purposes. The outer shell may be resistant to safety pin pricks, but with enough force you might be able to get through. This will not compromise the inner shell, still providing safety for your valuables. Yes, there will be future styling options :) @Liliana, We can have it wrapped for you and sent to the address you provide :)

Hi, how can I gift this to someone?

Hello! I've recently backed this design and I can't wait to receive it. However, I do have a small question. The surface design of the backpack, while minimalistic, is not usually to my tastes. I was wondering if we would be able to stick patches or buttons on it? I would assume since it's cut proof it might resist safety pin pricks from buttons, but I wanted to make sure. If not, are there any other styling options that may be released or revealed in the future?

@creator, thanks for considering my suggestion. Totally agree that we would want to keep to the sleek, minimalist design even if some of the light reflective material is added in as I'm sure that's part of the reason many people backed the project as the last thing they want is a gaudy looking backpack. Perhaps the "GHOST" logo on the back could be used for these purposes? I'll leave the design to you guys as the experts.

@Andrew, This could be a good idea for safety concerns, so we will be looking into this! If we add in some light reflectors we want to stay in the theme of minimal, sleek design. We will keep you updated.

@creator, any chance some light reflective materials can be added to the design of the backpack? This would be for safety concerns so someone wearing the backpack at night can be more visible to vehicles.

@Samuel Yang, Yes there is currently 2 stunning colors to choose from! And we are on our way to reaching the stretch goal, for a total of 4 amazing colors! There will be a survey to choose the color you want after the project ends. :)

Hi GHOST backpack, is there any colour options for me to choose? I know according to the pics I can see black and white but will I be able to choose after this project is successfully backed up?

@Arnav Goyal, Rainfall is a breeze for this backpack! A drop of water should not even enter when under pouring rain, keeping everything inside safe!
The 5 main pockets will have RFID blocking fabric woven in, but they will not be marked.

@creator:
When you say that the bag is waterproof, what does it mean in terms of the kind of rainfall I can get out in without worrying about my stuff?
Also, are the RFID protected pouches marked?

Hello Sarath,
1.) There is a pouch for your own power bank. We are thinking of providing a better power bank for the next stretch goal!
2.) We are in the works of adding in straps for extra support!
3.) L capacity has been added into the FAQ's! You can expect around 12 L.
4.) The app is Android/Iphone compatible. If your Backpack is misplaced and is within the 100-foot BT range, it will play a loud tune until you find it. More info will be added into the story! Thank you for your support! We are expecting to have them delivered to you the backers in Oct. Which means you should get your reward before Thanksgiving! :)

@Christopher Mc Verry, You are very close, with this compact design you can expect around 12 L capacity. @Thu, Yes indeed they're YKK zippers. After multiple tests the laptop and tablets do not slide around and are kept secure... But we could add them in for the extra support! We will provide more info soon about this.

Hello Ghost Backpack,
Here are some thoughts:
1. The 3350mAh is bit dated. But I understand you are probably cost conscious. I hope there is a pouch of some kind to allow use of my own power brick.
2. Strap to hold the laptop/tablet in place is crucial in overhead or tight space situations.
3. Please update the capacity
4. Given the tracker is BT based, what kind of range can be expected? Could you please add more tech specs on this? Also I hope the App is Android compatible. Overall I like the design. Wish you guys a great success on this. Hope to get the reward in time for thanksgiving.

Hello there, could the company add straps so as to hold either laptop or ipad?

Hi there, just would like to ask if the zippers are made by YKK materials? Cheers

What is the litre carry capacity of the bag as it looks small so am assuming 11-13 litres.

@Till - You hit the nail right on the head. Thank you for understanding and for your support!

Even right now there is a similar project on kickstarter called Mjölnir from the Netherlands. I guess it is the design everyone likes right now. And in my opinion there are not many ways a backpack can be designed. The inner layout is also restricted to its space withon the backpack. So i think everything is cool. And we should trust the creator otherwise it kinda would make kickstarter obsolete if there is no trust.
Best of luck from germany.

Hi everyone we would love to thank you for all your support! It truly means the world to me. We would also like to let you know that we have a stretch goal now to strive for! :)

@Mark Pecora,
1.) We have provided a video "gif" shortly when you asked to see, so I hope that gives you a detailed understanding of how it works.
3.) We know the details of our project. And instead of just writing out the material info in the comments we provided a detailed explanation/cross-section into our story... We understand that Kickstarter is an amazing platform to start an idea, but there has been projects that have left their backers empty handed... But I can not be held accountable for the actions of others, we are here to start something great and we hope to make future projects too!

@Ghost Backpack
1.) The app is functional. We will provide pics of the app in its current state shortly.
>>> You should provide a video clip for our backers, not just couple photos that edited on Photoshop. I can do that for 5 minutes... 3.) Not sure what hesitation has to do with this. I just want to get back to our supporters with honest information instead of making things up on the spot.
>>> Well, I thought the creators should know every detail before they made the product out...but it seems like you don't.
No offense, just tryna follow the KICKSTARTER rules "SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING."

@M- Yes, I can explain. They are selling a direct rip off of the bobby backpack - actions which I don’t support.

@Mark Pecora - I'm sorry you feel that way. Let me try to make things more clear. 1.) The app is functional. We will provide pics of the app in its current state shortly. 2.) There are many great backpacks on the market. They're all similar - yet unique in their own way. We happen to love ours and it's completely fine if you don't share the same views. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. 3.) Not sure what hesitation has to do with this. I just want to get back to our supporters with honest information instead of making things up on the spot. The Ghost is sleek unlike the backpacks you linked to. They have way too many features which makes the manufacturing much harder to control... Perhaps that explains why they failed.

Ehm guys :) Can you explain this ? https://www.dudesgadget.com/Backpack

@Creator Hey, I have to say those were terrible answers.
1.) Yes, the backpacks are fully functional. The app development is currently still in progress, but you can imagine it working similarly to a popular app called "tile"
>>> If it's a functional proto type that means you gotta finish everything includes the App, other wise how you can call it "functional"? All I guess it's not a functional proto type. 2.) Others have said our design looks similar to other projects, but as we have stated before we believe that Ghost is more sleek in terms of design!
>>> Well, to be honest, I think the design of Bobby and ClickPack Pro are much better than GHOST, even the functions are better. 3.) We have a few questions now asking about the material and as said in the recent comments we will update our story and FAQ's.
>>> If you are a designer or creator, you should answer my question directly without any hesitation, now it sounds like you gotta go back to ask somebody else and get back to me. It just makes me confused. Btw, here is a functional backpack similar to GHOST, and both of them failed to deliver to backers.

https://www.indiegogo.com/esi/en/projects/ibackpack-wifi-ultra-thin-powerful-batteries-iphone-battery--2#/ Overall, it's an investment you gotta be open to your investors.

We will be adding in stretch goals within 24 hours! Also we adding updates to the FAQ's and story. Thank you for all your support! :)

@Duma, With this sleek design the backpack has no pockets on outside, other than the quick access strap pocket. There are 2 secret zipper pockets on the inside, one of which will have the usb wire go through for charging capabilities. We will provide more pics to show this off better.

@creator: could you also show us pics of the secret pockets where it's inside or outside of the backpack?

@Thanpoom, Yes, both colors are the same price. After the project finishes you will have to complete a survey to choose your color. @Jennifer, We are glad to have your support! And we think that the bobby backpack is the original anti theft backpack and has set a path for future great projects, such as Ghost.
