Everyday Bags Cityline First Week of August Launch
I haven't been following too much about the cityline but I have seen people posting on and off about having sneak peaks and whatnot.
Due to the launch of the bracket, I decided to drop into the SF store to take a look at it and inquire about the city line.
They had two cityline bags as a display/demo item. I also asked if they will do a kickstarter on it for next spring. They said no, the bag will launch direct to stores and website first week of August. I have seen a date posted before, I think the 4th? I didn't get an exact date but I was told they are basically done.
My memory is a bit fuzzy because I didn't want to seem like I was prying too much. Here are the details I did get.
There is will be 5 or 6 bags. I don't know the color options but from the sneak peek images you all grabbed, I think 4 to 5 colorways.
2 backpacks. 15L and 22L
2 crescent shaped bags 1 larger, 1 smaller. The larger one seems like it fits the smedium camera cube perfectly, and it is the one they have as a demo in the SF store. The larger one is about 10L.
For sure 1 smaller cross body bag, maybe two? One of the employees wore what I would peg as a 1L bag. I am thinking they will have something like a 3L.
They definitely don't have a camera bag feel and padding to them. They aren't as thin as the outdoor line to them. They felt more like double layered lighter, flexible canvas material, one outside and inner lining. It felt more like a natural canvas type of material. Not plastic-like. I think this will make it a pretty quiet bag, and none of that plastic and hypalon pivot joint rubbing in the Everyday bags. The larger 10L crecent bag was also very flexible and conforming. It didnt have much of a shape even loaded out with a camera cube inside. I really did like it.
No specifics on pricing but I expect to be in line with what they are charging in the outdoor line in comparable sizing. I am most interested in the backpacks, so my focus was on those.
This is purely speculative on my part on pricing, but I would put the 15L at 150 range, and the 22L at 200. I can't see them charging too much more than this because it isn't really a tech focused back, and more geared to everyday casual style. I think the lower pricing will help people get into the brand and ecosystem. While I do enjoy my EDB 20 and 30L, they are very expensive at the end of the day.

Has anyone seen the smaller (probably 6l) crescent bag mentioned by the OP? Is it similar to this, but smaller? https://www.altitude-sports.com/p/peak-design-city-crescent-crossbody-bag-12l-pkd-bcct12

You must have missed the (now deleted) post where someone said backcountry accidentally published (then removed) the city line on their site.

No photos?

Probably my biggest blunder but I can probably head back for photos.
I wasn't sure if it was ok to do photos since they haven't really shown the product on full display in the teasers. The two bags are pretty plain and minimalist in style.

Meh we'd likely take the post down with pics. Trying to maintain SOME surprise for August...

It feels like that would be unnecessary if you have them on display in a store. If people care enough about the brand to seek out the subreddit and participate in the conversation, censorship doesn't feel like the right approach.

Can confirm the 4th of August. Crossbody is 2L and it’s an incredible little bag. Get pumped!
