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.

Why should I use a waterproof bag?

Each year, countless incidents of water damage to personal belongings are reported.

From electronic devices to important documents, water can wreak havoc and lead to costly repairs or irreparable loss.

By investing in a waterproof bag, you significantly reduce the risk of water infiltration and protect your items from potential damage.  

Field Testimonials

Tested this on a week-long trip through the Rockies—rain, mud, and even a river crossing. Everything inside stayed completely dry, and the airtight zipper is legit.

Mark T.

Perfect for work travel and outdoor trips—fits as a carry-on and keeps my gear organized. Built like a tank, and the waterproofing actually works.

James R.

I tested it in a lake, and my gear stayed 100% dry—no gimmicks, just solid construction. Respect the use of recycled materials too; it’s a win all around.

Frequently Asked Questions

To help with your order
  1. Why crowdfunding pre-order?
    Crowdfunding is a way to involve the community of outdoor enthusiasts in the creation of new projects.

    This allow us us to minimize risks and make the project sustainable while guaranteeing a competitive price.

    We think that many products on the market are overpriced. We aim to ensure premium quality at a competitive price, and crowdfunding allow us to do so.

    We manufacture only what is required, without unnecessary waste of material. Additionally, the limited number of products increases their value for buyers and creates a community of patrons who share the same interests and passions.
  2. When will I receive the AN01?
    Expect to receive the product approximately 2 months after the date of purchase.
    This is the time it takes for us to produce the material, assemble the bag, organize the logistics and ship the finished product to your address.
  3. What happens if the goal is not reached?
    If our crowdfunding campaign does not reach the $10,000 goal, here’s what happens:

    2) You Still Get a Thank-You Gift – As a token of our gratitude, we will send you a special gift, regardless of the campaign’s outcome.
  4. Why should I trust you?
    We have already launched two successful campaigns, raising over $500,000 and sending over 6,000 backpacks (learn more here) to outdoor and functional gear enthusiasts who believed in us.

    Now you too can be part of our community and projects without having to wait a long time to receive your bag.

    We also offer you a zero risk guarantee.

  5. What countries do you ship to?
    We offer worldwide tracked shipping.
  6. Is the AN01 bag 100% waterproof?
    Yes! Unlike many "water-resistant" bags that only protect against light rain, the AN01 is fully waterproof and submersible. The airtight zip system and high-frequency welded seams create an impenetrable barrier against water.

    Whether you're in heavy rain or dropping it into a river, your gear stays completely dry.
  7. Can I use this as a carry-on for air travel?
    Absolutely! The AN01 Waterproof Aviator Bag is designed to meet all major airline carry-on size restrictions. At 30L, it fits perfectly in overhead compartments and under most seats. Whether you're taking a weekend trip or flying internationally, this bag is travel-ready, hassle-free, and built to keep your essentials protected.
  8. Will this bag hold my laptop securely?
    Yes! The AN01 comes with a dedicated laptop sleeve that keeps your device protected from bumps, shocks, and—most importantly—water. It fits most 15-inch laptops comfortably.

  11. What if I don’t like it after I buy it?
    We normally offer a 15-day refund policy, but due to the limited nature of this crowdfunding campaign and our commitment to reducing waste, we are not accepting returns on this product.
    However, we stand behind the AN01 —which is why it comes with a 1-year warranty. If you experience any manufacturing defects or issues, we’ll make it right
  12. How does my purchase help the environment?
    Every AN01 bag is made from recycled plastic, and a portion of every sale goes directly to organizations like Cleanhub.io and The Plastic Exchange to remove plastic waste from oceans and communities. This year we are committed to collect 1,200Kg of plastic waste.
    Learn more about this on our sustainability page.
  13. Is this bag good for outdoor adventures?
    Absolutely! Whether you're hiking, kayaking, biking, or camping, the AN01 is built to handle rugged environments while keeping your gear safe. If you love adventure, this bag is for you.

A Few Words From The Founder

The idea of this brand was born in Bali, a place that naturally stimulate adventure and the pleasure of discovery.

Why did I launch the Expedition / Units and why should you want to be part of this world?

There are 3 main reasons:

  1. Creating gear with an innovative and highly functional design for the most demanding outdoor activities, but at the same time perfect for use in the city and in everyday life.

  2. Empowering the community of people who see life as an adventure, daily growth and discovery.  Not shy to pursue their individual path in life, no matter how off-the-beaten-track.
    This is for all the adventurers, explorers, travelers and digital nomads.

  3. Reducing single-use plastic bottle pollution and bringing about real change in the world. By using recycled and environmentally sustainable materials and supporting the people who strive day after day to rid our planet of plastics and educate the younger generations to protect the environment. 

If the above resonates with you, consider giving our products a try and becoming part of our collective journey.
