    Just thought I'd post a friend's project.

      looks great, but too damn heavy.

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        The bag alone will retail at $450. If you buy the pouches, you climb above $750.

        I know people spend thousands on bags and shoes, but I don't know anyone that spends thousands on unbranded bags and shoes.

        Looks like a cool bag with the wrong price point. I wonder what their distribution model looks like.

          This is the kickstarter that I bought into. I think it is a great idea.

                I have a few of the government issued ones... they were giving them away free with a indentured servant commitment.

                That looks like a cool bag... I don't know about 450 bucks cool though.

                I thought the thread might include...

                  That was my first comment to Gidget. $450?

                  We'll see how they do with it.

                    "Has". You'd be surprised at the size of the market for this sort of thing. American made and all that. For a one-off bag like that they're probably a little high, but not much. For a semi-massed produced bag they should be about half that. Their problem is they're contracting out the work and then, from appearances, adding a retail mark-up on the thing.
                    There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

                      I got my kickstarter project approved. Once I launch, I'll post the link. It was a lot of work, but hopefully it'll get funded. Our request is relatively minor ($1k), and I think we can do it.

                      I'm excited.

                          Honestly. I'd pay $50 for one if it could accommodate commercial keys and car keys.

                          Edit: It looks like they made a bigger version for industrial keys. Nice.

                            I thought Kickstarter was for funding art projects or something. Is it also for pre-paid sales to fund scaling costs?

                              I wish they'd show an example of what it looks like with the factory Honda (or other car manufacturer) keys - mine have the big plastic at the top making them more cumbersome on my key ring and in my pocket.
