Be ready for any adventure when you carry the Weekend Warrior Dynamic Travel Bag. With over 30 different features, this impressive carry-all remains compact no matter what’s inside. With a quick tuck of the shoulder straps thanks to the unique pivot system, the Weekend Warrior transforms from a backpack into a briefcase/duffle style bag. In addition, it’s rife with conveniences such as an expandable bottle pocket, ultra water-resistant zippers, and a hidden cash pocket. There’s even a spot for your sunglasses, flashlight or multi-tool, and your lip balm. The clamshell opening gives you access to the two sections inside; one for lifestyle and one for tech. Along the back is a breathable layer of mesh while the front features an adjustable sternum strap. With copious amounts of protection, the Weekend Warrior can handle drops of all heights. All of this comes in a carry-on sized design, making your journey through the airport seamless.

- I’ve seen other bags have some kind of strap keepers, which tuck away any loose hanging straps. Is this something that you can explore?
- What about a pocket with RFID protection for your wallet or credit cards? Or a hidden pocket for passport or wallet? Looking forward to the final product 🙂 Thanks,

I've thought of another way to add the airflow channel ventilation system to the bag without compromising the tuck away strap system (I'm not giving up on it! haha). How about you keep the mesh design as it is, but stitch the "EVA foam splitted in blocks", that @Luis mentioned, ON TOP of the mesh back. This way the straps can still be tucked away as they do with the current design. Using the upside down 'Y' configuration that I discussed with you, you could add two blocks over the shoulder blades and one block in the middle of the lower lumbar/sacrum region. This way you can tuck away the straps and have the airflow channels too! Would that work? Sorry for all the messages, but I've become very passionate about this bag! ;) Cheers, Flip
I just figured that having the crossing straps might even make it a little cheaper to produce since you'd be using just one clip instead of two!
As for the coloring, I like the idea of having a survey to see which color backers prefer.
Just a thought, a very bright colour would stand out if zips are inadvertently a bit open and possibly decrease security somewhat.
@Flip’s suggestion to survey backers is a great idea.
Perhaps: Preferred colour and 2nd colour they’d be happy with?
Anyway Keep innovating

With regard to the compression straps shown at 4:45 on the detailed video - they are at either end of the bigger lifestyle area, anything in the middle would not get much compression/support. Ideally, diagonal criss-cross straps could be more effective in helping hold everything down?
Have a couple of questions please ...
Would an iPhone 8+ fit in the phone compartment in the tech side?
Is there a reason the compression straps are either side of the lifestyle section rather than more centred for likely max. effectiveness?
I have a few suggestions that could improve it and that I'd love to see, although I already can't wait for the product! 1. It seems like there's more then enough space to make the laptop and tablet pockets a little larger. Like the somebody commented before, fitting a 12 inch iPad pro would be excellent. I also personally have a 17 inch laptop that's 16.7 in x 11.7 in. Would that fit if I put it in there in a relatively small sleeve otherwise? 2. While on the those pockets would it be possible to cover them with a smoother fabric so dust doesn't show and get easily stuck on it. So whatever you're using inside the bag anyway basically. 3. This is a quality of life thing - making the interior brighter. It makes it so much easier to see and find stuff if everything isn't black. Even if it's just grey to keep it neutral. If you've just sat down somewhere and want to grab your cables or headphones or anything else for that matter you're not gonna open the bag the whole way but just as much as you need to grab things out, so having more light reflect on the inside makes it much easier to see and grab stuff quickly. Thanks for listening and for making an excellent bag!

I’ve been scouting for the perfect bag for a long time, and I'm happy to say your bag is a contender of my list. I'd offer a suggestion: -hydration pack compartment. It's a necessity for any proper hike, as a water bottle does not hold enough water. I understand it might a fairly demanding design change, but perhaps the additional funds/stretch goal would allow for this? And thank you for the video, it really helps us see the bag better!
or
15.35 in tall x 10.82 in wide Let me know if you have any other questions!
Wild shot, will the tablet pouch be able to hold a 12 inch iPad Pro? Hoping, hoping, hoping, it would be really nice not to put pc and tablet in the same pocket, like other packs.
The outer material is made from 1200 GALAXY FMM coated
with DWR. 2) How much does the bag weigh?
It is very lightweight. Roughly 1,020 grams or 35 oz.
3) Are any of the zippers lockable?
The final product zippers will be YKK zippers. These zippers will have a large enough hole
in the pull tab that yes, you could place a small lock through the two pull tabs. Thanks for your feedback and insight on the shoulder strap. We will definitely look into this and work with our designed to see what solutions we can come up with. Thank you
2) How much does the bag weigh?
3) Are any of the zippers lockable? I also wanted to agree with @SK. I think a shoulder strap is a good idea. I think you would need to put the straps on the same side as the water bottle, so when you put the bag down on its side it doesn't squash the bottle against the ground. You'd need to put one strap at the top and the other one at the bottom just in front of the water bottle (work out where it's well balanced). Thank you
