Dear All,
This has been an amazing week. We have been taken aback by the support and positive comments on Sitpack ZEN-X series.
We have received a lot of comments on the campaign, and have had a blast connecting with backers – soaking up your input and improvements to campaign, including suggestions a better explanation of the “pack” pledges. We have improved FAQ – and of course input on stretch goals and ideas to product improvements.
If you are interested in having your idea implemented in the new Sitpack – please send us a message and well take it into consideration for our Stretch goals.
Potential Stretch Goals: Design: - Foot with spike - for soft turf or muddy surface - Leather seat. - Wider seat for increased support - Adaption of the top part for camera mounting
Look: - Gunmetal colored aluminimum (Sitpack Zen-XI) - Laser engraved seat wings – ( with your name or design)
Production update: Today, we meet with the factory owner, to get a status update on which parts we can get start with as early as possible. At the moment we are making tools for the top part, and the seat wings, and will start on the aluminium tubes as well. As soon as we have more good news we will send a new update.
We experience request for a referral program that can win you a Zen-XII – so we have been setting it up, and we are ready to rock and roll just follow this link: http://bit.ly/2Afqjxi
Best wishes, Jonas and the Sitpack team
Thank You

Production and Stretch Goal

Hi everybody
What an amazing, continued support, a big thanks to all of you.
In this update: 1. Production, 2. Stretch Goal
PRODUCTION: We are taking the initial steps towards mass production these days. After finalizing the production meeting with our manufacturing partner, last Thursday, we are moving forward, with the production of the first tools here in December.
Sitpack Zen consists of 35 unique parts, and requires special tools for most of them.
Total amount of tools: 18 (not including any textiles for the seat)
Tool investment include: Injection molds, Aluminium and carbon tube tools, deep drawing tools for the top part, and extrusion tools for slider and seat fixation rings.
Tools for wings and top part - was set in motion before the campaign, and we are working on getting them as smooth and nice as possible. For reference, we going for that MacBook feel on all aluminum parts.
STRETCH GOALS: We are very happy for the amount of engagement, both in the comments and in private massages regarding stretch goals. We have chosen the stretch goal that aligns well with current production plan, as not to cause unnecessary delays. However: another stretch goal might be added next week.
Current seat width: 5.7cm / 2.4 - the updated seat width: 7.7cm /3" - and it is the maximum width, we can make, without making the seat too clumsy. In addition - we are working on developing a method to keep the original size, but making a sort of flip-able installation, which will keep the seat at the same original size but can be expanded, depending on developing cost, this might be a stretch goal in it self. We will inform you guys, when we know more about this.
- There is a good chance that the wider seat will include a zip-pocket - on the backside of the seat, agin more testing is needed and we will return with info asap.

Stretch goal unlocked + competition

Dear everyone
Halfway through the campaign, and we are at more than a 1000% percent of our funding goal. It's truly amazing - and we could not be any happier.
We are setting in all efforts to start production before the campaign ends, to mitigate any potential delays.
As you can see from the campaign, and last update, we have listened to your comments, and the confirmed stretch goal at 300.000$ to increase the seat width at 30% has been unlocked. The awesome part of this goal - is that is will not be an additional cost for our backers - the Zen simply becomes a better product.
The design is not complete yet, but we have sent word to our factory contact to get started on the prototyping.
Confirmed stretch goal
We are looking into other stretch goals - but have not reached any conclusions yet. We will keep the suspense a little while longer. :)
Our last competition did very well, so well, that we have set out to make a new one. YAY. The concept is simple - share our project with friends and family and you can win the amazing Sitpack Zen XII.

In the airport and on your paddle board :)

Dear all
Just a quick status update from cold and rainy copenhagen - we are very happy to have so many engaged backers! We are getting many positive comments on the product, and good ideas on when and where to use the new ZEN.
Several backer messages say that they are looking forward to using it during work hours. That standing desk is increasingly present in the office environment. The fact that so many a suffering form ligament injuries, from sports, og simply bad working posture. Zen is created to be posture enhancing, meaning the more you use it the stronger you will get, and the better it will feel to use Zen.
Sitpack at the airport and on you paddle board.
A question the we get asked a lot, is what are our experience with bringing Sitpack through airport security (US-EU-ASIA) :) We have quite a few experiences. In short 90% of the time, Sitpack passes the X-Ray, the few times it's been picked out by staff, we end up in a friendly chat about the product. But newer has it been taken from us, nor have we heard that to be the case from customers. So rest assured, your Zen will not be mistaken for a light saber ;) .... Swoosh
Next question, which is not so often asked, but does raise a valid point on balance and on traction of the ZEN foot. Would the ZEN X be useful on a paddle board? - and you know, why not. It's a great question we got from a backer, in line with many questions regarding the usefulness in boating. Some guys go for hours or half days on their SUP (stand up paddle) - So why not bring a long a chair for resting. We would love to see that picture - truly ZEN !! The question remains - how will the foot react on the surface in combination with water. Without having testet it on a SUP, we can say that the foot is made of high-friction elasto polymers, and its not going anywhere on 99% of all surfaces. On a paddle board or a boat - even though the foot has barbs, it's recommended only to use it after through testing.
Again, a great big thanks to all for supporting us!

Merry Christmas everyone
As we are closing in on Christmas festivities with family and friends, we want to share some good news. We have gotten the production schedule confirmed, and KICKSTARTED production yesterday by paying the first upfront fees. Today the factory has commenced the production of tubes and locking mechanisms. First the factory will begin with technical preparations. In this process factory engineers and tool makers run through the project throughly before ordering of tool steel, etc. which will not take long as steel makers are close by the factory park.
We will let you get back to buying the last christmas presents :)
Yours truly, - Jonas and the merry Sitpack team.
