PROJECT AN01 WATERPROOF AVIATOR BAG - PRESALE
$119
$169
Listen up. If you travel, commute, hit the gym, or ever leave your house, you NEED a bag that works as hard as you do. Not some cheap, flimsy junk that falls apart after a few trips. You need something TOUGH, something that can take a beating and keep on going. That’s why we created the AN01 Waterproof Aviator Bag.
This bag is inspired by the rugged, no-nonsense aviator bags used by military pilots—only we made it completely waterproof and tougher than anything else out there. We built it with AWPE ™ 600, our signature high-frequency welded material, making it 100% submersible (yes, you read that right). And at 30L, it fits airline carry-on requirements, has space for your laptop, and can be slung over your shoulder with ease.
This is a limited crowdfunding release—be among the first to own the AN01 before it hits the market! Secure yours now at exclusive early-backer pricing.

Thank goodness it's waterproof!
I love my PROJECT M23 WATERPROOF FIELD BAG. I use it to go watercolour painting outdoors. A messy affair and prone to wet accidents. But i just wash it out and it is good as new. I am getting a bike soon so that will make it twice as useful. Thank you.

Just what I needed.
My wife loves her new bag. It's so easy to fit when needed, very easy to access the Items inside, previously just had a pannier which was a bit tedious just to get smaller item out. The bag travels well without effecting cables and break lines.

Durable, Waterproof, Good Design.
This bag is made of high quality materiel and feels great to wear. I’m an avid paddle boarder and use this bag while I’m out on the water. It’s a perfect bag to take with you to the beach, store a laptop, or pop a speaker in.

PROJECT 8020 WATERPROOF BACKPACK
My new everyday bag
Wow. The wait was absolutely worth it! Not only does it keep everything dry on my rainy day bike commute days but it has replaced two of my bags. Working two jobs and working out I needed multiple bags to carry everything. This bag allows me to fit all of that into one bag that’s both stylish and offers the support to make it easy to carry. Now the only thing I wish you guys made is a lunchbox out of the same material to clip onto the bag. That would be awesome! Other than that I’m very happy with the quality and material of the bag.

Perfect protection for camera when on the go
Fits perfectly into the waterproof roll bag, and is easy to get to when inside.
Padded walls inside the bag which can be adjusted via valcro are also really useful as you can adjust compartments based on the size of the equipment, or if you want some extra padding.

I have attached this bag to my bike as a front bag. I have not ridden simply because I live in a snow winter state and I do not ride in the winter, however, you can feel the quality of this bag, feels durable, spacious room,waterproof, very easy to attach. This is a winner. Quality always wins.
