The Weekly Batch: Why We Don't Ship Daily

In a world of Next-Day Delivery, the planet pays the price. Constant availability requires constant logistics, half-empty delivery vans, and high-energy warehouse operations.

We do things differently. We ship once a week, every Wednesday.

Why the Wednesday Drop?

  1. Consolidated Logistics: By grouping all orders into one weekly batch, we ensure that Royal Mail isn't making a trip to us for a single parcel. They pick up the parcels in bulk or we drop them off at the post office in bulk.
  2. Zero "Idle" Energy: We pack and ship in one focused window, drastically reducing the energy footprint of your order.
  3. No Impulsive Miles: Shipping once a week encourages mindful consumption. It’s a deliberate pause that asks us to value what we buy, rather than expecting instant gratification at the earth's expense.

How It Works: The DirtBag Cycle

  • Wednesday - Monday Orders are collected and processed.
  • Tuesday: We batch-pack everything using our plastic-free, stamped kraft card packaging.
  • Wednesday: The Drop. All orders are collected and start their journey to you in one efficient batch.
  • Thursday – Sunday: We’re back on the trails, researching and prepping for the next week.

Order by Midnight Monday to get your DirtBags in the following Wednesday’s batch.

How We’re Still Asking Less

We’ve evolved from seasonal pre-orders to weekly drops, but our commitment to the planet hasn't changed. We’ve rejected the extractive "Fast-Fashion" model of the outdoor industry in favor of a Lean Logistics model:

  • ✓ Inventory Control: We only hold what we know we can sell, preventing the 15-25% waste typical of traditional brands.
  • ✓ Batch Shipping: One collection day per week reduces "last-mile" delivery emissions.
  • ✓ Plastic-Free Fulfillment: Your order arrives in 100% compostable/recyclable card, stamped by hand, not a machine.
  • ✓ No "Always-On" Warehousing: By operating in weekly cycles, we eliminate the massive energy overhead of traditional 24/7 warehouses.

Why wait until Wednesday?

Because the trail doesn't need another half-empty delivery van driving up the road. Your patience directly reduces the carbon footprint of your gear.

Thanks for backing a different way forward.

DirtBags are sold in weekly batches. Read below about our more environmentally friendly business model.

DirtBags are reusable, home-compostable alternatives to single-use gel packets and plastic ziploc bags. Made from ultralight bioplastic, they're designed to carry your fuel in single servings, can be reused over and over and then break down completely when you're done.

Fuel Pack of DirtBags

(8 Small DirtBags) This pack of 8 Small DirtBags are designed specifically for those wanting to fuel their adventures and carry bulk bought or home-made energy gels, energy chews, energy powder and snacks with reusable packets .

Scenario - With this fuel pack of 8 Small DirtBags, you can use all eight Small DirtBags to each carry 30-50g of carbohydrates in the form of energy gel, energy powder, energy chew or other snack.

This would equate to covering four hours of running, cycling or other endurance activity and consuming 60-100g of carbohydrates per hour.

Once you finish one of them, you simply click the ziploc closed, roll it up or fold it away in your pack or pockets to be taken home, washed and reused.

Use → Wash → Air dry → Reuse. When they eventually break, compost at home (TÜV certified).

Replace single-use throwaway plastic packaging that ends up in the landfill. Stay organized and fuel your way all whilst asking less of the planet.

THE SUSTAINABLE FUEL GUIDE

Having DirtBags is only half of the issue, the other half is where do you get bulk endurance fuels or how can you make your own at home and save money.

We wrote the sustainable fuelling guide to answer that.
