This is pretty sweet, I haven't been snowboarding for like 2 years and I live in Colorado (yes it makes me cry), but I would definitely put this on my board.

Question: Are we going to see you on Shark Tank with this product in the future?

I dig the idea, looks sweet. Does the bag have separate cubbys for different items (think six pack folding cardboard tray), or is it one large container like a lunchbox?

I would definitely put this on my board. Gotta get different color bags and brackets tho. Black and silver wont look good on my board and you know you need to look good, nameen?
Current model is more like a lunch box. We are producing this 100% in the USA and using Radio Welding to make it 100% waterproof (no stitching/sewing) so pockets are difficult and expensive to add. At some point providing this goes well we will release a model with cubbys, or maybe a organizer that sits in the bottom.

Totally hear ya on the color combo, snowboarding is 90% how you look and 10% how you ride =D. We are starting simple but plan to offer a very wide range of colors in the future. And powder coated brackets so we can go any color on those as well.

And asking if i sell in EC sounds like RMT entrapment sir =p

Thanks for the feedback man =) Shark tank is a possibility. In the immediate future I am going to be starting a kickstarter campaign to help fund our international patents and if possible starting our clothing line. I want hoodies, t shirts, beanie etc available for sale on our site. When that goes live ill be sure to let you guys know.

Also, if you guys are interested in buying one I will give you a special P99 coupon code as i love this community and am happy to give back. Just shoot me a PM and ill get you one once we are ready for orders.

So how much stuff did you lose snowboarding before you came up with the idea? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Nice product and if i still went snowboarding i would pick one up. I have a idea i've been throwing around too for a little so i might be in touch to pick your brain.

I've lost a few snowboard tools over the years, and one cell phone got fried from getting wet in one of my pockets. Biggest thing that got me thinking about this was I crashed pretty hard off a table top a few years back and cracked a rib on my snowboard tool. Wasn't fun.

As for your idea, fire away any time man. Learned a lot building up this company so i'm sure I can offer some advice if nothing else =)

When I break my board hucking off a 40ft. cliff or flying through the trees that metal thing looks like it could go right through my leg..... Just a thought. Maybe plastic for the bracket.

Great idea!

I hear ya there sir. I have tested it pretty extensively. The bracket edge is well below the cuff of your snowboarding boot and for most will be below the top of your binding as well. I had to lean VERY hard just to get my boot to touch the bracket. Your leg would have to break before the bracket could injure you.

Injection molding for the bracket is a very real possibility. It would reduce our cost on the bracket by 300%. Issue at this point is the initial investment is $10,000 to have the tooling done and once its done we can't change it. With Aluminum we are just working off CAD file and can adjust as we go and laser cut them out with the new changes. But Injection molding may be the direction we go sometime in the future.

Thanks for the input!

I just know I've hurt myself in unimaginable ways many times as well. Metal scares me.

I get the mold costs but ultimately I think that's where you'll end up based on cost per bracket. I would def. wait until you've done extensive testing at* 10k a mold :P
