Videhop presents a Kickstarter Unboxing: Fred Water Flask I backed this Kickstarter project back on November 2014 for a Fred Water Flask. Kickstarter Page: (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/745592332/the-fred-water-flask-more-water-less-sugar/description) I chose the SUPER EARLY BIRD SPECIAL FRED WATER FLASK (POWDER COAT COLOR) - $19 -- Get your limited edition Kickstarter box which includes: -- 1 Colored Stainless Steel Water Flask (Choose from Charcoal, White, Army Green, Lifeguard Orange, Baby Blue) -- 1 Extra Steel Cap -- 1 Loop Lanyard -- 2 Foil Stamp Fred Stickers. EST. SAVINGS OF $22 OFF RETAIL VALUE. ---------------------- Personal Thoughts on the flask product: PROS: + Love the color! I chose Kickstarter Green and the color is true to the picture on the Kickstarter page. + Comfortable to sip out of spout. + Extra rubber seals and caps. + Stickers are pretty sweet. + Feels nice in my hand and is distinctive looking. CONS: -- Loop lanyard cannot be used on bottle. Needs to be placed where cap screws in, causes leaks. -- Design was not what was initially promised. It did not have the curved shape that I found intriguing. Is not extremely comfortable to keep in back pocket when wearing tight pants. ---------------------- Personal Thoughts on the Kickstarter project: + Rewards unlocked along the way were exciting and tempting, keeping backers engaged. -- Communication between creators and backers was disheartening and sporadic. Updates were inconveniently posted as comments rather than actual updates. Instead of receiving an email notification of an update, backers had to read through hundreds of comments to check for any updates form creators. + Creators were detailed and transparent on delays with project, and were personable about it. As upset as backers were, creators were always professional, and apologetic. As unfortunate as it was that the manufacturing company and language barriers were some causes of delays for the project, upon receiving the product I am still delighted to have backed it. It certainly has an interesting story behind it and will definitely catch the attention of onlookers with it's unique look and color. Fred Water: thank you for creating this flask, and thank you for all your hard work and determination to see this through. I can only imagine the anxiety it bought to your team.
