Apricoat Team launches massively successful Kickstarter campaign
Apricoat Team proudly announces the most advanced adventure coat on earth, simply known as Apricoat. Unlike other traveler coats, Apricoat was designed on mountains by a team of international explorers, who banded together with an industry leading material designer to create the ultimate adventure jacket. Their goal was to create a unique, fully featured adventure jacket with everything an explorer would need or want, at a price that undercuts all the major adventure brands.
The Apricoat team launched a Kickstarter campaign to utilize their community to crowdsource this amazing coat, enabling an extremely reasonable price for all travelers. After only 37 hours, the $50,000 funding goal was reached and has past $500,000 in funding after just over 3 weeks of their campaign with the support of over 3300 enthusiastic bakers.
The Apricoat team set out to offer explorers and frequent travelers a zero compromise jacket, enabling them to leave their baggage behind and still be ready for any scenario. Their video even pokes fun at the thought-of-everything design, as well as the inflated prices of major adventure labels.
Thought up by hardcore hikers and brought to life by veteran fashion designers, Apricoat is the apex of 10 years of adventure travel and material design. The perfect jacket for exploring anything from a rainforest to an urban jungle.
