EP01
Thought Through
EP01 HAS BEEN AN INTERNATIONAL EFFORT. WE HAD INPUT FROM PROFESSIONAL GUIDES (MOUNTAIN, RIVER, FISHING, TREKKING, DESERT AND SAILING) ALONG WITH MILITARY SPECIAL FORCES, PROFESSIONAL EXPLORERS, CAVE DIVERS AND POLAR DIVERS.
The 5 most important backpack features
we included in order of priority ARE:
1 → Waterproof
BECAUSE IF YOUR CONTENTS GET WET IT WILL ABSOLUTELY RUIN YOUR DAY. ITEMS SUCH AS ELECTRONICS, DOWN JACKETS, CAMERAS AND LENSES, PAPER MATERIAL, EVEN FOOD. WATER, ESPECIALLY SALTWATER IS LETHAL.
2 → LIGHTWEIGHT
WEIGHT USED TO BE THE NO. 1 PRIORITY IN BACKPACKS UNTIL WATERPROOFING IMPROVED. A SUPER LIGHT BACkpack LET’S YOU CARRY MORE AND GO FURTHER.
3 → Strong
WE’VE HAD WATERPROOF BAGS FROM OTHER COMPANIES SUFFER PIERCINGS, SHOULDER STRAP BREAKAGES, SPLIT SEAMS AND OTHER FAILURES. ALL IN FRUSTRATINGLY REMOTE LOCATIONS WHERE REPAIR WAS NOT POSSIBLE AND THE BAGS WERE RENDERED USELESS. THE EP01 IS RATED TO HANDLE 45LBS (20KG), HAS AN IMPENETRABLE BASE AND IS FREE STANDING (WON’T FALL OVER AND DIRTY THE SHOULDER STRAPS).
4 → Comfortable
WEAR LONGER AND GO FURTHER. THE EP01 HAS WIDE SHOULDER STRAPS TO DISTRIBUTE HEAVY LOADS COMFORTABLY. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO ABSORB VERY LITTLE WATER AND DRY SUPER FAST. THE BACK PADDING IS NON-WATER ABSORBING AND THE AIRFLOW CONTOURING KEEPS THE BAG CLOSE BUT AVOIDS A SWEATY BACK ON HOT DAYS.
5 → Modular
WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD DECIDE WHAT GOES WHERE AND NOT BE DICTATED TO BY THE BAG MANUFACTURER. WE DESIGNED CUSTOM CUBES SO THE BAG COULD BE STRUCTURED, SEMI-STRUCTURED OR UNSTRUCTURED. MILITARY MOLLE WEBBING ON THE SIDE ALLOWS FOR ACCESSORIES SUCH AS AN ADDITIONAL WATER BOTTLE, A FISHING ROD ETC. AND WE VERY DELIBERATELY DON’T HAVE A LAPTOP SLEEVE OR ICE AXE LOOPS.
