 Hey Everyone,


Your support of Bravo Sling Max has been incredible! This campaign reached $371,333 - with 3,693 backers! The ALPAKA team is working hard to get you carrying in style with the Bravo Sling Max as soon as possible.

We seriously can't thank you enough.


WHAT’S NEXT?

For the next couple of weeks, we’ll be working on setting up the Backerkit survey, planning add-ons, etc. In roughly 2/2.5 weeks time, we'll be sending out fulfilment surveys via Backerkit.

'Backerwho?' We're glad you asked. For those of you that are first time Kickstarter backers, don't worry. All you have to do for now is sit back, relax and enjoy the melodies. In order to collect your shipping addresses, etc., we use a pledge manager service called Backerkit. Apart from collecting shipping addresses, here's what else we'll be able to do:

  • You'll get a chance to get extra add-ons at a Kickstarter backer special pricing.
  • That includes other ALPAKA products (at Kickstarter special pricing).
  • Update your address

Before we send out the surveys we'll notify you in another update with instructions and everything you need to know.


CAN I PICK UP MY REWARD EARLY OR PAY TO EXPEDITE IT?

Unfortunately, this isn't possible. In order to fulfill 3600+ shipments of new products fresh off the production line throughout the world as expected, we have to follow complicated processes that can't be disrupted. 

We have to manufacture the products, package them, store them, ship them, etc. So in order run this as smoothly as possible we need to stick the aforementioned processes.


HOW DO I CHOOSE A FABRIC/COLOR?

You'll be able to do this when we send the Backerkit survey.

Since X-Pac™ fabric is going to be limited, we'll hide it for the first day after we send the surveys and then let you know the specific time and date of when we'll make it visible, so everyone that's interested has a fair go.


WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EACH FABRIC?

We'll share a comparison graphic well before the Backerkit survey is sent so you have enough time to think about which fabric is right for you.


That's all for now. If you have any questions that aren't answered in this update, please read the FAQs on the campaign page or email us at [email protected] for the quickest answer. 

We're so grateful for your support and can't wait to get this bag in your hands!

New Stretch Goals Update
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 11:06:04 AM

Hi Everyone,


Hope your week is off to a good start. We have a couple of things to share with you today:

  • Unlocked Stretch Goals (photos)
  • Color/Fabric Forecasting

Unlocked Stretch Goals

We hit two funding goals ($200k and $300k) that (due to popular demand) unlocked 2 different fabrics apart from Jet Black Ballistic Nylon and Graphite Grey FauxWool.

We'll have these options available in Backerkit after the campaign ends. Please see the previous update for more info.


$200K Stretch Goal - UNLOCKED: UHMWPE Cutproof Fabric in Ash Grey

UHMWPE Cutproof Fabric in Ash Grey

$300K Stretch Goal - UNLOCKED: X-Pac™ VX21 Black Fabric

X-Pac™ VX-21 Black

More info on how to select your fabric and the differences between each is in the works and will be shared soon.


Fabric Forecasting

We made a quick (30 second) survey to help us forecast fabric selection. You'd really be helping us out by completing it HERE. This is NOT your official survey. It's just to help us forecast fabric ratios for fulfillment purposes. Your official survey is sent ~2 weeks after the campaign ends.


Thank you so much!
