Gravel Explorer Collection

Summary:
Gravel approached Shyft to develop two additions to their Explorer toiletry kit collection. These bags became the Gravel Explorer MINI and MAX, the largest and smallest sizes, bracketing their current, mid-sized kits.

We designed the MAX kit to carry everything you might need on a trip, including full-size bottles, while maintaining the smart organization of their existing Explorer kits. We gave it a double zip opening for easy access. It accommodates large bottles with room to spare for additional supplies. We used Gravel’s durable QuarryPoly material for the body and wipeable TPU pockets to make liquid cleanup simple.

Alongside the toiletry kit, we developed a TSA-compliant liquids bag that is watertight, translucent, and equipped with a unique silicone hanging strap that can attach almost anywhere.

The launch of the MAX Toiletry Kit also gave us the opportunity to develop and release Gravel’s new Sand colorway, expanding both the product line and the brand’s catalog with a fresh variation.

For the MINI, we used their QuarryPoly for the main body, but added a second, wipeable TPU compartment to keep things separated and tidy. We implemented the silicone hanging strap that can stretch and wrap around anything, making it easier to use the kit on the road. An exercise in restraint, the kit keeps it simple, with a few surprisingly helpful features.
