Backpacks are on Time
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to post an update about the bags. They are currently being made on time for delivery. The batteries are taking a little bit longer than expected. We will do our best to fix this and have everything out on time.
Best,

Hey Andrew,
Sorry about the late response. The email server went down because we are moving from zentreks.net to zentreks.com and was trying to convert the email addresses. Didn't get the notification that someone has left a comment or message. Anyways, yes overall everything is moving forward like mentioned above with the backpack production the only hiccup we have is with the battery. We wanted to give you guys a more great surprise when you guys got your backpacks which was that we have upgraded all of the battery packs. We finalized a custom mold for the batteries which is now made with everything we would like to see in a controller. I would have kept this a surprise if not for the delay in delivery. The next update I will post a new photo of the upgraded controller along with the upgraded specs because we appreciate all the support each and everyone of you have given us. In addition of course we would like to have another place to sell our products Andrew thanks alot for that :).
Best,
ZenTreks

Hey ZenTreks team. Hope all is going well with the first production run of the packs. I can't wait to receive mine in the mail. I've been talking these packs up @ my job, which happens to be an outdoor sporting goods store, Eastern Mountain Sports. After some personal field testing i plan to demo it to a couple of the higher-up and buyers. Perhaps EMS can become a location where you'll be able to sell the packs.

"They are currently being made on time for delivery." Sounds Great! My birthday is on the 9th and I now know one of my upcoming gifts. :D As for the batteries since you told us about the surprise, we could wait since its just in time for summer and travelling this year. Semester will be over this week and getting ready to set up for adventure. =)
Thanks ZenTreks and team
