Velomacchi

Posted by 141drew Posted onFeb 26, 2016 at 12:15 PM and filed under Reviews & Features


They work for the privateers… And one of them is actually one of us… The fellas at Velomacchi have come up with a backpack design that is actually pretty relevant to guys that get **** done in their shop and then take it on the road.

This isn’t an advertisement. I wasn’t paid to feature this… I just really like the idea and these guys.

Details here.

Nice design details I supppose. I can get the job done for half the cost thru several other sources but won't be as pretty. Seems to be limited on space for other than 1 day rides. I'd have to see some positive "real world reviews" before dropping $300 on this.

Kinda a shame the video basically shows none of the features of the backpack. Seemed more about selling a lifestyle or motorcycle riding then showing how much the backpack could hold, or how it organized its contents.

I was watching the video a couple of days when Ryan put this out. I thought... that looks like Gregors work. Well ... it certainly is. Way to go Gregor, I am sure this will be huge.
Cheers,

Portland - the cool one.
Hi guys,

We are just getting started - our first public appearance and our first bags showed up a week ago so we're just getting ourselves up an running. We have a couple of videos that show the features of the bag and they should be up soon. I just finished shooting the final bags this past week and we're still getting the site sorted - so give us a little time. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/images/smilies/lol_hitting.gif

We didn't expect to get a feature quite so soon so. As for "real world reviews" you'll probably be able to see those in a month or so. We've had a lot of interest and have sent packs out to reviewers this past week so stay tuned and you'll have the feedback you're looking for.

920kip - Thanks! I'm glad my style holds true and is recognizable.

Stay tuned as we get going. It's a lot of work to get a business started and it's taking away from my garage build at the moment but hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train.

Gregor

There is a need for a durable backpack for carrying tools on job sites. For example, I know someone who services railroad equipment. A tool belt or a tool bag won't work because you need both hands for climbing all over locomotives. He has yet to find a durable tool backpack. I know that is not your intended application, but sometimes you find new markets.
