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

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

I received an email with a shipping update over the weekend.

Sounds like they’re shooting to ship Dec. 1st. There’s more info in the email but that’s the synopsis.

Got the same. Sounds like some pretty understandable minor production hiccups. Excited to get my pack, hoping Washington is in decent shape by early December.

Thanks for being understanding on the timing!

Check your spam for the email update I sent if you didn't get it or dm me and I will figure out why you got left off the email list. I'll make sure to throw an extra couple tubes of toothpaste in your package.

shit - sad I missed the launch. Looks like a killer pack.
If anyone ends up with buyers remorse, hit me up.

Do you have approximate dimensions for the main compartment? I ask because I would like to stick a camera cube in there. Ex: 9"x15"x7" or something like that.


Great looking pack: has that perfect alpha fl top, but with all the nice access and other compartments.

Are your ZGTP forward lean mod pieces going to be back in stock any time soon?

[Danno]

got a shipping notification today.

That should fit. The main compartment is 12.5x22x6.75. The only question mark is the depth, but since the width has a bunch of clearance it should be fine. My friend put the Shimoda medium mirrorless ICU in it no problem.

I am most likely going to reorder, but I need to make sure I can sell 50 to make the unit economics work out so tell all your friends and reply to our current story on Instagram saying you want one. I would most likely place the order next week and they have a 3-4 week lead time.

Sounds good. Not opposed to a squeeze. Seems like the Large DSLR ICU will fit. Good timing, as I was sizing up the new Shimoda 40l, but their design language is "fucking overkill".

Are these available now? Or was there a first batch, and now sold out?

Got my pack today, looks nice. Light, but heavy duty feeling materials. Mini tube of tooth paste was an odd extra. Who can't use tooth paste I suppose.

I’m glad the pack is meeting expectations! I was bored of stickers and wanted to do something more fun, hence the 3 gram toothpaste, which is so you can shave some precious grams on your next overnighter.

Can't wait to see the 30L if that's still in the works for next year. Want to grab for sure given the rave reviews for the 40l.

[Tjaardbreeuwer]

Mine just arrived

Same, 40l looks so good, hopefully a 30l version would follow suit.

I have the 40L. Haven't used it yet (injured) but it seems like a highly refined/optimized version of my Snowmad 34, with some additional capacity and bonus features. Not to say I'm not impressed - I am. But one of the reasons the 40L is cool is that it's wholly unique in it's feature set for a pack in the 40-55L category. I'm not certain the 30L will be as easy to differentiate from competitor packs, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

You are right the snomad influenced the front stash pocket design. It’s a pack I love so you saying it’s a highly refined version of it I think is a huge compliment. Thank you for that and thank you so much for your order!

The 30L is coming next season….

Just received mine, haven't played with it much yet, but digging it so far. Thinking an optional 8L lid would be a nice add-on for multi-day, similar to Mammut Trion Pro 50+7.

That's a great idea. I have an optional lid type thing for my 30L Cirque, might give it a whirl on my Raide that showed up yesterday. I wanted the extra space for multi-night tours also. I immediately loaded it up to 30 lbs (more than I would carry tbh), and I was super impressed w how it managed the laod. I did not expect that, but hoped for it. And the volume, it swallows gear if you want it too. Also stoked at how it packs down. Waiting for some snow to get out and give it a whirl, but for now feeling like this bag is money. Its a versatile very detail-oriented design that also manages all the basic backpack things super well. Kudos to the team.

Glad you are digging it! Thanks for the positive feedback!

I am having trouble imagining how an optional lid would work for multi day because if you have the roll top full expanded you are getting another 8-10" in height and a lid sitting on top of it would be awkward. Also when the rolltop is full expanded you can stick stuff in between the cinch and rolltop which is nice for those small things you might put in a lid (and beers). I tend to think that lids are a bit clunk and slow, but I have liked when they are attached on the front and then free on the back like the Exped Couloir 40. Please explain what you are envisioning more.

[1000-oaks]

^ Damn, sorry for my dumb lid idea, I just pulled out the roll top and of course you're correct, it would be way too tall. I'll just shut up until I've started using the pack, lol.

ETA: it has been claimed.

To be clear, it's an impressive new design and the build quality appears stellar. I just have a lot of packs already and can use that $ for other things.

If anyone missed the early price and wants a pack, I'll pass along the deal. Otherwise I'm going to return it. PM to work it out. This is a M/L in white.

Climberevan please PM me. Would love to hear why you decided to pass the pack along. So far we’ve only had 1 return so definitely want to hear more. Thanks for the support regardless and glad you found a new home for the pack.
