Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 5, 2011.
Just wanted to let you all know that the Bobolink site is live. You can now direct all your jealous friends to the site so they can get their own trainer. I've posted your names to the site as a thank you for your support on Kickstarter. Please send along any photos of you in your trainer or post any reviews or feedback on the product page.
Again, I thank you very much, let's keep this thing going!
Enjoy the ride,
Zach
All of the orders at all levels are in the mail! Thanks to everyone once more for your initial support and continued patience. Please let me know if you have any size issues or if it doesn't arrive in a week or so. International orders, I have no idea how long it will take to get to you with customs, but 2-3 weeks may be in order?
I'd love any and all photos of you in your trainers, so please send them along or post them to our Facebook fan page.
Enjoy the ride,
Zm
After a packing party last night, we managed to bundle up all of the $125 Backers and get them in the mail this morning (hang in there $250 folks, the finishing touches are being sewn on yours). Give them a few days to arrive, depending on where you are. The international orders will take a while, but rest assured, they're on the way. If you have any issues with size, we can arrange a swap, just let us know.
I hope you enjoy your new trainers as much as we do. Please send any an all photos of you in your new gear to zach@bobolinkgear.com (or post them to our Facebook fan page).
We're looking forward to launching our e-commerce website soon – bobolinkgear.com, so your jealous friends will be able to order trainers, bags and perhaps a vest soon.
Thank you all very much. We never could've made it this far without your help. We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Zm

All the best,

We are so very thrilled to announce the first shipment of the women's trainers arrived last night and they look great! We will be packing them up to all of the women in the $125 level tonight for the mail tomorrow.
