Kickstarter campaigns are usually news items we don’t typically cover – mainly because we’d hate to get you excited about a really cool project or product that ends up being vaporware. With WANDRD, things are a bit different for a couple of reasons: 1. They are an established brand that has not failed to deliver on any past successful Kickstarter campaign. 2. They absolutely crushed their latest campaign: the new WANDRD Rogue V2 Sling.

All-New in the ROGUE V2 Sling

If you’re familiar with WANDRD’s lineup, you probably have come across the ROGUE line of sling bags. Unlike other slings, the ROGUE line was unique in providing ample space for your gear and EDC items, as well as having the ability to add a laptop sleeve. Like all WANDRD products, the ROGUE also benefited from premium materials and reinforced zippers – helping you to keep everything protected while in transit.

The WANDRD ROGUE V2 builds on these main features and adds a few more. For starters, the ROGUE V2 has reengineered the strap, promising a more comfortable feel for all-day use, a wider adjustment range, contoured EVA foam, and soft rolled edges to make it feel like the strap isn’t even there. The new ROGUE V2 also brings three grab handles, a nice touch brought over from the Stratus and Nimbus backpacks, making it easier to pick up your bag from any angle.

Thanks to its weather-resistant construction, the bag keeps things secure and safe inside—it basically begs you to get out in the elements. The V2 also upgraded the zippers, which now feature the “Worryless Locking Zipper Pullers” that can be used as an additional layer of security. The two new mesh side pockets help you keep quick-access items within reach.

Crushing it on Kickstarter

Needless to say, the ROGUE V2 promises to be one of the more exciting bags to be released this year. Unlike other Kickstarter campaigns, WANDRD has already crushed its initial goal of $15k by 8 times. What this means is that if you’re in the market for a sling, now’s your chance to pick one up at a 25% discount by backing the project. I’ve long been a fan of the ROGUE and had up to now not pulled the trigger because I had a 6L sling that was chugging along just fine. Now that it’s in a bit of disrepair, it might be time to upgrade.

You can check out the ROGUE V2 on Kickstarter and pick up the 4L for $97, the 6L for $119, or the 9L for $134—each offering a considerable savings over its expected MSRP.
