Pakt Blog - News, Bag Talk, and Packing Tips

On November 7th, 2017, one year ago today, we launched the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for our Pakt One. What a year it’s been!

As you may know, Grey and Navy bags have been in pre-order for the past few weeks. We totally underestimated how long our inventory would last us until we received our next Mass Production order! The good news is, the order is on it's way to our new shipping facility as we speak.

How many Pakt One bags can our factory produce in a day? Currently about 150.

Until recently, we didn’t know where the Pakt One project would take us. Like so many things in our short history, our decisions were inspired and influenced by this awesome community of fans, friends, and supporters.

The anticipation is growing, and we’ve got great news: Your Pakt Ones are being made at our factory right now! And yes, we’re still on track for on-time delivery.

When we visited the factory where the Pakt One was to be constructed back in December, it was absolutely essential for us to confirm with our own eyes that all employees are treated fairly, compensated properly, and work under safe conditions.

Matt, the documentary film-maker behind Minimalism put this video together to show off how he packs using the Pakt One for a week long trip.

We’ve heard from some of you that you’re anxious to get your hands on the Pakt One, so we thought we’d share a little insight on the work that goes into producing a high quality bag.

We wanted to elaborate on what hardware/materials we specifically changed from the original Malcolm Fontier Getaway, to the updated Pakt One. Not every product gets a 5 year testing period, but we were able to make some small but significant improvements based on many miles of travel.
