Vanish reviews the R1 Pack!
Beau Industries, a new-to-the-scene maker of sustainable products that support active parents, announced the launch of their debut product: the high-performance Parenting Pack R1. Designed primarily for dads and moms who enjoy adventuring with their kiddos, this is a next-level glorified diaper bag that no parent will be embarrassed to carry.
Unlike most “diaper bags” on the market, the Parenting Pack R1 is designed to be a great backpack first, and the best diaper pack on the market second.
It’s a 4-piece set that includes a fully-featured backpack; a fold-up changing pad that doubles as a laptop sleeve (perfectly fitting a 15” MacBook Pro); and two insulated water-resistant bottle/accessory pouches. Featuring premium, 100 percent post-consumer recycled exterior fabric, top-shelf hardware, and designed with clever features that toggle between parenting & non-parenting functions, the Parenting Pack is built to last for years past the diapering stage. Featuring a modern, clean styling and dynamic feature sets, this pack is versatile enough to be used in almost any situation, with or without the kiddos, and was developed with a focus on caring for kids of all ages.
The styling and features of the Parenting Pack are equally at home on the trail as in the office. The exterior body fabric is woven from premium 100% recycled yarn (Reboyarn) and includes premium performance hardware and finely tuned, rigorously tested ergonomics. Smart features include an integrated, easy access water-resistant wipes pocket, tons of interior organization, dedicated, highly protective laptop and device pockets, dual insulated accessory pouches, and the plushest changing pad your baby’s bottom will ever feel. All materials are CPSIA certified non-toxic for children (and adults) of all ages.
While the styling and fit is decidedly unisex, this pack is targeted to bag-loving dads primarily, who the brand believes are under-served in the parenting marketplace.
Beau Industries was founded in 2019 by George Estreich, a father of two and bag designer from New York City. The mission of Beau Industries is to make high-quality, sustainable products that support active parents. The DNA of the gear is the combination of well thought out functionality and durable, sustainable materials. All Beau industries products have been rigorously tested over many iterations to provide perfect fit, feel and function.
