Gravel here with our fourth Indiegogo campaign! We’re passionate about designing travel products that become trusty companions.
We’re building an ecosystem of travel products that work together. We’ve spent the past 2+ years researching & designing travel bags to enhance the way you travel.
Introducing the Gravel Bag System - Three bags that work as ONE to keep you moving forward.
Every day on the move is a bit different - you’ve got to be prepared for what’s next. Some days require bringing a lot of stuff like a rain jacket, camera, water...especially when you’re in a new place. Other days you need to travel light.
We found ourselves constantly digging through our bags to get stuff in & out. Travel demands quick access & comfort. Unless you’re the kind of person that packs one pair of underwear you should have a bag that’s designed to keep your stuff right by your side & adapt to you while on the move. We thought there had to be a better way.
Three products were born to work together: 42L Carry-On Backpack Sling Belt (Hip Belt/Sling Bag) 11L Day Bag
See how they all work together.Here's a super high level overview of each bag.
42L Carry-On Backpack.
Pack it all into a plethora of sensible pockets, access it quickly, & stay comfy with adjustable straps & structure. We'll get into all the juicy details in a moment. Of the Gravel Travel System - this is the home base.
Sling Belt.Yes, we made that up.
We’re super excited to share our patent pendingbackpack waist strap that quicklydetachesfrom the 42L Carry-OnBackpack & converts to a sling bag.
A true 2-in-1. You know when you're trying to get to your seat & you have to stuff your pockets full of all your stuff? We thought it would make sense to just...take off the part of your bag already carrying all that stuff and take it with you!
Want to take essentials with you on a day trip exploring? Take it everywhere.
(How the Hip Belt Turns to a Sling)
11L Day Bag.
More than just your personal item. It packs neatly inside the 42L Carry-On Backpack, attaches on the outside, & is perfect for your expeditions exploring. Carry's multiple ways. Tons of pockets for water, tech to work remote, & then great for all the stuff you need to explore further.
Ok! Now we've gotten to know each bag at a high level you probably want to learn more.

All three bags work together. We've intentionally made each bag look simple & clean but there is a ton under the hood. Here’s a run-through of each bag.
42L Carry-On Backpack
Intentional spaces, sensible pockets, & adaptable to fit it all.
Let's start with the inside.
Stay organized w/soft fleece lined panels & dividers for modular storage. Secure down & compress stuff down w/adjustable cinch straps (sold as a set (2) in the à la carte menu).
14 different loops lining the inside allow you to cinch your stuff the way you want.
Laundry Bag Pocket
Mesh Pockets | *Updated design has mesh down the middle :D
Let's talk packing&accessing tech/miscellaneousitemsthen start moving to the outside of the bag.
Store stuff like a keyboard, charger, USB sticks on the inside panel that fully unzips for easy access & visibility.
Secure your laptop in a dedicated laptop pocket that fits up to the new 16" Macbook Pro.
Water bottle pocket stays flat while zipped & unzips partially or fully to fit a 40 Ounce HydroFlask.
Pockets on all outside panels of the bag (top, bottom, front, sides). Quick access to stuff like your snacks & water, rain jacket, or a travel adapter.
Front Pocket stows away the 11L Day Bag.
Expandable front-pocket for quick access to bigger items like a toiletry bag or day bag. Great for grabbing liquids for TSA scans.
Strap down taller or larger items on the outside like a tripod or a Gravel day bag w/loops on both sides & front w/g-hook straps.
Fully Adjustable For The Right Fit
Think of the last time you thought “I’m sick of carrying this heavy freakin’ backpack.” We took inspiration from backpacking backpacks & added vertically adjustable shoulder straps for proper fit & weight distribution.
Suspension straps to bring load forward to reduce back strain.
We also added suspension straps to relieve your shoulders from some of the weight of the backpack. They bring the bag forward to bring the center of mass inward.
Removable rigid backplate, padding, & mesh add comfort and help distribute weight properly.
Hovering mesh decreases back sweat and doubles as a roller bag passthrough.
42L - top
Sling Belt (Sling Bag/Waist Belt)
Everything always by your side. We wanted to reduce the constant digging for stuff like chargers, snacks, wires, passport, AirPods. Hip belts take weight off your back although we thought they should also carry lots of stuff too at your side. Guess what?
Our patent pendinghip belt carries a ton &transforms to a cross body sling bag. 2L of space w/four pockets (1L & two pockets per side).
Here's how easy it is to transform the Hip Belt to a Sling Pack.
Unclip while boarding the plane in the aisle and clip to your body. Don’t stop traffic and quickly get to your seat.
Stay organized in your seat and stop worrying about losing something. Wraps & secures around seat tray as a caddy for all the airplane seat necessities.
Just got to your destination? You're already packed for the day - detach & head out.
The hip belt is a standalone sling bag to carry stuff on your trip’s daily excursions.
11L Day Bag
For day trips when you need a little more stuff we designed a 11 liter day bag.
Great for working remotely in a local café then getting out on daily excursions. Plenty of pockets & tons of space to fit stuff like souvenirs, snacks, water, a camera, or a light jacket. Laptop pocket fits up to a 16" computer.
front welded zipper for stuff that might explode like sunscreen

How will COVID-19 affect this campaign?
We are experienced manufacturing products - especially bags. This is our 4th Indiegogo campaign & we know how something like COVID-19 can bring unexpected delays. We've always delivered on time so to keep that record & backer happiness we decided to give ourselves a few extra months of production time...just in case.
We'll keep you up to date and be hones as we go along!
When will it all ship?

Timeline:
Our Story
Chris met Lance in 2017 with an idea to design a better toiletry bag for traveling.
Holy smokes - we’ve shipped 50,000+ products to 100+ countries around the world. Because of your incredible support we've been able to continue to design products that make traveling a little easier and better.
We have the raddest Indiegogo backers around - we’re so thankful for the bestowed backer trust. We're busy designing a lineup of travel products that solve problems we and other travelers experience.
Lifetime Warranty
We are so confident in our product's build that we have added a lifetime warranty - plain and simple. If the bag doesn't hold up for what it was designed for then let us know and we'll make it right.
Return Policy
We only used premium materials to ensure years of use. We will repair or replace any bags that somehow don't hold up to do what the bags was designed to be used for. We do not offer refunds or returns on blankets that were received as a Indiegogo reward.
We’re passionate about creating amazing products and Indiegogo is a way for us to launch our brand. As you've read, Indiegogo isn't a store and rewards are a thanks for supporting the project which is why we cannot offer refunds or returns. Your pledge means so much and we take it very seriously. We will do anything we can to make sure that this exchange leaves with good vibes for everyone involved.
Outside The USA? International Customs Calculator
We are so pumped that we have shipped product to 100+ countries. Backer rewards are merchandise and not gifts. We value your support SO much and want to make every interaction super positive all the way through this process. If you are backing our project outside the USA you will have to pay customs.
Shipping fees DO NOT count toward customs fees. One thing we've learned is that every country has different customs fees. Here is a shipping calculator for you to understand what you will be paying your government to import this product.
