Hi Everyone,
I'm a freediver and spearo on the West Coast of the U.S. and wanted to share my new company/product with the community. Over the years, I could never quite find the right dive backpack for organizing my gear or one that held up while traveling and hiking long distances to dive sites on tough coastline. With that in mind, I founded Ocean Cowboy Outfitters to build long-lasting dive gear.
After years of testing and prototyping, we're debuting our new freediving/spearfishing backpack, the Cabezon-1, a very durable high-end pack for freediving gear that uses a lot of elements from the backpacking and backcountry hunting gear community. The Cabezon-1 is our debut product, and we intend to keep designing new gear to help the community dive longer and safer. We've worked for a long time reviewing and dissecting existing equipment to improve durability and weight distribution for our pack, even adding a backpacking-rated waistbelt that can integrate the weight belts when traveling to dive sites. We've reinforced all straps for heavy pack-outs, as well as using a reinforced bottom to prevent tears. Overall we're hoping this backpack
We recently deployed our Kickstarter page for our pack that we are using as a presale platform for folks interested in purchasing a pack, those interested in wholesale purchases, or those just interested in supporting new gear development and startup businesses! We hope you like it, and every little bit helps. Anyone interested in purchasing a pack down the road but not in a position to pay the full price on Kickstarter will receive a discount of however much they pledged when we go to production. We know it's not always an ideal time for people to pledge the full amount, but are open to all the support we can get.
Note that no money changes hands unless we reach our funding goal, so you're not throwing your money at something that won't materialize (we selected Kickstarter's the all-or-nothing approach specifically for this reason).
Thanks to everyone in the community so far that was helpful and supportive during the design and testing process! We hope the pack serves you well!
