Introducing Raide: Light packs and apparel you’ll actually enjoy using.

Damn, Marshal, you're making me really want this.. can you fit Verts inside the pack using the back panel zipper? My issue with cinch-top ski packs is that you can't easily get Verts inside. Yeah you can strap em to the outside of the pack but I use Verts a lot and they are so much better inside, especially if you are carrying skis as well.

Yes exactly! And they easily fit. The pack just swallows them up without drama. Its almost as if Concierge made the opening the exact right size.

killer design work! not a weight weenie but I have only found a few packs over time that fit the 40+10 sweet spot for carry-on/travel/action and lend to actual winter use. the 40L will be my next for sure

3 left at 25% off...

[sf]

Nah, shows as 349$ now. My bad for taking too long

[Island Bay]

Yep, was just about to order mine, but deal gone.

My bad, but was too busy at work till 11pm, then driving the missus to train at 5am. Faaark!

Good on you, Concierge. You've obviously made a beautiful pack and marketed it well.

Price was $349 when I put it my cart.
Then they asked if I wanted to be on the email list and I said yes..
They sent me a text and I opted in, then received another text with a 25% off code.
Bringing it back down to $299.

Thanks Concierge!
Stoked!

[waveshello]

I threw down for one, noir comme mon coeur. Speedy transitions and easy access are big priorities for me, and it looks like this pack has me covered. Light weight is a nice bonus too.

Now I just gotta figure out which water bottle pocket to attach to the shoulder strap. Garage Grown Gear has a few interesting options from indie brands.

Same here, except I forgot to put in the code cause I was so damn excited. Oops...

Very stoked to put it to the test this winter. I really think it will be perfect.

[concierge]

Hey everyone I've been blown away by the response so far. Thank you all so much. While I can't afford to sell many more at $299, I want all the early adopters to get in on the $299 price so I just extended the sale for 50 more packs!

[Island Bay]

Thank you Concierge and TCNROMPER.

The kindness of strangers got me the perfect pack :-)

Black M/L ordered.

[LukeWright]

This is incredible, basically exactly what I've wanted for several seasons knowing it was possible with materials but not accessible short of custom orders from small makers who were pretty overwhelmed. Have actually been teaching myself to sew technical fabrics this year to build something similar. Instead at least for now I'm ordering this! Looking forward to the ~30L size as it's closer to what I typically tour with, but this is definitely going to be my go to for overnights and more technical objectives here in Washington this season.

Shit like this is great to see here. Only the maggots are this rad.

[germs]

Dang. Very nice. Would buy if I even remotely needed another pack.

Very excited to see your other stuff when it’s available. Nicely done.

It says that at the top of the page but the price still shows at 349?

[Danno]

Nothing I do seems to work, signed up for the emails and texts and don't have a code and price still shows as 349. Bummer.

[concierge]

Hi Danno, thanks for trying to support us! I was out for a run and our text service decided to yank our number away. If you go through the flow again, you will get a $50 off code. Also if you ordered PM me your email and I will refund you 50. Sorry about the confusion.

[Danno]

Awesome, thanks!

[Ed el Loco]

Well damn, most expensive pack I ever bought. You all loured me in with the 2 pages of hype and a $50 discount. Looks like the ultimate tour pack.

Have actually been teaching myself to sew technical fabrics this year to build something similar.

I sew a lot, and have a badass Pfaff walking foot machine and others. I make stuff from scratch, and I modify a lot of gear & clothing to better suit my needs. Bikepacking bags are especially fun to make and not too intricate. It's a fun hobby and can definitely open up all kinds of avenues to better gear.

I do, however, value my time at least a little. Making one of these packs by hand would take, conservatively, 20 hours, especially without having access to the (guessing) 10 different machines they use for various things, not to mention patterning it as a one-off. Add in the difficulty of acquiring these kinds of fabrics, foams, meshes, etc in small quantities, and $300 starts to seem like a bargain. The Vietnamese pack factories are modern-day marvels.

Anyway, I ordered one and look forward to trying it out. It's way larger than what I've been using for the last several years, so I'm hopeful that the compression will work well enough to deal with my typical 15L day-trip loads. Inevitably I'll end up sewing some stuff to customize it a bit.

[Boissal]

Bought one at $349, didn't get the option to get on the email list or anything of the sort. Fuck it, looks like a rad pack and spending $50 more means I'm drinking fewer beers in the next couple weeks, win win for the upcoming touring season!
I've spent way more than the full price of this things on several packs that were supposed to be designed for touring and ended up having 5 to 10 annoying quirks. Plus a well designed helmet carrier might finally convince me to upgrade from a big pompom hat to an actual lid.

[doebedoe]

Congrats on the launch. Seen these popping up on all the socials/forums recently.

Looks like it fixes all the things I don't love about my Patagonia Descensionist with only a 100g weight penalty. Truly impressive the features you've gotten in at that weight. Looks to be a perfect pack for hut trips of various sorts too with the flexibility of the roll top and then cinching down for days going out. Bravo.

Can't justify a new pack right now but hope this is just the start for you all.

Thanks doebedoe! I'd love to get as many mags in the pack so PM if you have any questions!

This thread needs a bump! Any update on shipment of pre-orders? No snow yet but I'm running low on toothpaste...

[McShortyShorts]

It's a pricey hunk of metal on my end too!

Having just paid north of $5k for a cnc'd piece of aluminum for work of roughly similar proportions... I believe you.
