Drop 40L Backpack Designed by Dan Durston

It's surprising that with over 1100 sales that there isn't a true large size pack yet to cater for those taller than ~6ft. Given that 20% of men are over this height, it seems there's a good opportunity being missed given the relatively small effort that would be necessary to modify the design. This would then align well with other pack manufacturers (e.g., GG) who offer sizes S, M & L to cater for a wide audience.

G_20I'm going to talk to Drop about this in the near future and hopefully convince them to expand the size range. Right now they have ordered more of the same sizes after the last batch sold out in August because that's quick to do, whereas prototyping a new size takes a while. So the packs arriving later this year will be the same sizing options (S/M, M/L) and then hopefully sometime next spring we can have a larger size. I'm not sure if Drop will agree but I will try to convince them.

dandurstonDan, your responsiveness is amazing. You definitely go above and beyond. Let's hope that Drop is willing to take another size on. I'm not sure of the arrangement around licensing etc, but I'm sure there would be enough interest to independently fund development of a larger size pack if Drop 'drops the ball' on this one.
