Preorder: DirtBags Large Pack - 8 Large

Why Pre-Order?

This is our first production run EVER! We only manufacture what's ordered - no overproduction, no warehouse waste, less deliveries, etc

Your pre-order helps prove that asking less is viable.

Timeline:

• Manufacturing starts later winter
• Estimated delivery: early spring
• Updates: Every 2 weeks via email

Step 1: Pre-Orders Open

• Pre-orders open for 6-8 weeks
• Close when funding goal reached (or at seasonal deadline)

Step 2: Manufacturing

• 3-4 weeks production

Step 3: Shipping to Us

• 1-2 weeks sea freight delivery

Step 4: Fulfillment

• 2 weeks to pack and ship all orders
• Aim for delivery as season starts

Step 5: Next Drop Opens

• Pre-orders reopen for next seasonal batch

Our seasonal schedule:

• Winter Solstice (Dec 21): Pre-orders Sep-Oct with delivery at the beginning of the winter solstice.
• Spring Equinox (Mar 20): Pre-orders Jan-February with delivery at the beginning of the spring equinox.
• Summer Solstice (Jun 21): Pre-orders Apr-May with delivery at the beginning of the summer solstice.
• Autumn Equinox (Sep 22): Pre-orders Jul-August with delivery at the beginning of the autumn equinox.

Most outdoor brands manufacture speculatively, warehouse products for
months, then run sales to move excess inventory. It's wasteful by
design.

We do four seasonal drops per year, here's why

1. Zero Overproduction We only manufacture what's pre-ordered. Traditional brands overproduce by 15-25% - inventory that becomes waste. We eliminate that entirely.

2. No Warehousing Energy Products don't sit in facilities consuming energy for months. They move from manufacturer to you in weeks, cutting 10-15% of typical supply chain emissions.

3. Batch Manufacturing Making the DirtBags that have been ordered in one seasonal run uses 30% less energy than multiple small runs throughout the year. Resources are used precisely.

4. Sea Freight, Not Air We choose slower shipping with 10x less carbon than air freight. Your 8-10 week wait means we're asking less with shipping.

5. Better Relationships With Products When you can't impulse-replace something next week, you take better care of it.
Seasonal scarcity encourages repair and longevity. The environmental impact of any product drops dramatically the longer you use it.

6. We ship them to you in one go and here in the UK we get the products that are ready to be posted all picked up in bigger batches by Royal Mail. This means we aren't driving to and from the post office every single day to send parcels. 

It's what it takes to ask less of the planet.

Between drops, we're not available. No "shop anytime" because
constant availability requires constant production, warehousing, waste.

This isn't how the outdoor industry usually works - and that's the point.

How We're Different

Most outdoor brands manufacture speculatively, warehouse for months,
then run sales to move excess inventory, all extractive business models.
We've rejected that model entirely.

Every step asks less:

✓ Made-to-order - Zero overproduction (traditional brands waste 15-25%)
✓ Batch manufacturing - 30% less energy than continuous small runs
✓ No warehousing - Products ship in weeks, not stored for months
✓ Sea freight - 10x less carbon emissions than air shipping
✓ Seasonal drops - Encourages repair and longevity over replacement

This first batch proves trail running gear can exist without constant consumption.

Thanks for backing a different way forward.
