Hey WANDRD fam,

Quick pause from the usual gear talk.

We started WANDRD with a wild idea: that carrying your camera gear should be as adventurous as using it. Nine years later, here we are – watching you all take our bags to places we never imagined. From street shoots in Tokyo to wedding shoots in Iceland, documentary work in remote villages to family road trips across continents.

Today, we're just feeling grateful. Grateful for:

- Every time you chose us to protect your gear

- Each story you shared of a bag that had your back

- All the feedback (yes, even the brutal honesty) that made our gear better

- The countless photos you've captured while wearing WANDRD

- This incredible community of photographers, adventurers, and storytellers

You're why we keep pushing boundaries. Why we stay up late sketching new ideas. Why we obsess over every zipper, strap, and pocket.

Tomorrow we'll go back to our biggest sale of the year (and yes, that new Makalu Gray). But today? Today we just wanted to say thanks. For real.

Keep shooting. Keep exploring. Keep creating.

Ryan, Spencer, & Austin Cope,

WANDRD Founders
