The XL Update #1
Hey Everyone,
I hope those of you in the United States had a wonderful 4th of July and those of you globally had a great weekend as well! First and foremost - I wanted to personally thank all of you for ordering The XL. As I have said since the start of Diamant, without your support, none of this is possible.
Without further ado, here are some overdue updates on the production of The Weekend Warrior XL:
As of 2.5 weeks ago, we have officially placed our order with our factory in Vietnam. Our onsite product development team has been working overtime as they prepare raw material orders and finalize design updates.
Speaking of design updates, we’ve made some upgrades. We developed a new handle for the bag that is slightly longer and sturdier - this makes for a much smoother ride.
We’ve added some color details to the exterior - very, very minor gray hits but they give the bag a slight bit of pop.
The pocket for on-mountain gear in the boot compartment is now entirely covered in tarpaulin, improving the look of the pocket and ensuring it is as water-resistant as possible.
All of that is great, but I know you’re all mainly concerned about the day you can expect to receive your bags. As of right now, we are on track to send our orders by late October. Of course, the global supply chain is shaky and, at the end of the day, we are all at the mercy of lazy customs agents and the weather over the Pacific. So naturally, if anything changes, you will know right away.
We will continue to update all of you here on the Diamant Blog and send the links out via email, so don’t send Diamant emails to spam, please.
As always, just email us if you have any questions!
Cheers,
Shai
