Hello Friends, we are officially halfway through, with over 300 backers and +$20K in funding! It's time to bring this to the next level. I am starting to reach out to blogs and media for some needed PR and we are finally getting into some lifestyle shots.
We are also working with our belt manufacturer to slightly change the composition of the rayon to make the belt even more comfortable. Yay R&D! Our packaging manufacturer is currently rendering a prototype for the packaging which should be ready in the next few days.
Brown belt options coming soon(I promise). I really want to hit these stretch targets! Please share this with your most popular friend!
Q: What kind of pants should you wear your BetterBelt with?
A: Our friends at Dish & DU/ER have created a lightweight, stretchy breathable pair of pants that are designed to keep you cool in the hot weather. Pair them with one of our belts and you've got maximum comfort and mobility from the waist down! Check them out here: http://kck.st/290x6sb

Congrats, the brown belt is unlocked and everyone is happy! Pledges are starting to pick up and I want to thank all of our international backers. I thought this would be mostly a North American thing but we currently have backers from Sweden, Australia, France, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Austria, Germany & the UK. Woo!
I am currently putting together 4 choices for the brown belt. (private message me to recommend one!)
Also more stretch goals:
@ $25,000 unlocks a Pink Belt!
@ $35,000 unlocks a Gray Belt! My friend JTAN insists that we have a gray belt because you can wear gray with almost anything.
@ $XX,000 unlocks Premium Comfort! We are working with our manufacturer to weave a small blend of additional comfort into the rayon. Details TBD.
@ $XX,000 unlocks Premium Leather!
@ $XX,000 unlocks Premium Gold Buckles!

Congrats Backers for unlocking the first stretch goal! We will now be shipping all belts and bracelets in beautiful microfiber bags. Furthermore, I will be announcing 2 more stretch goals in the coming days + giving our backers a survey for the brown belt stretch goal!
ps. Happy Canada Day + 4th of July!! #longweekend
pps. Share our Kickstarter on your Facebook page! Let the people know!
I also wanted to give a shout out to our friends at Restrap: We always bring our cameras when we travel, but carrying them around can get unwieldy. We have designed the Sling magnetic camera strap to keep everything in its place when you're on the go- great for professional photographers and amateurs alike.

My sister tells me I need to update more... Whoa! We hit the $10k mark yesterday and things are on the up and up. With that being said, I would like to announce our first 2 stretch goals:
@ $12,000 unlocks Premium Packaging! I am currently working with a supplier to manufacture beautiful microfiber bags(kind of like the ones sunglasses come in, but bigger). These will look amazing and you can reuse them to hold... stuff!
@ $15,000 unlocks a Brown Belt! I have been talking with some of our backers and everyone wants a brown belt! I will be sending out another update so current backers can choose what shade of brown we use!
If you haven't shared this with your friends, DO IT!
