Created by MODL Outdoors

Latest Updates from Our Project:

New MODL gear coming soon! 💡
over 3 years ago – Sat, Sep 05, 2020 at 04:02:28 AM

What’s up you beautiful adventurers!

It has been a minute since we’ve checked in with you all. We hope you’re making the most of this stillness and spending solid time out in nature!

This is a longer update sooo to summarize - we’re launching three new products soon and you can be one of the first to try them out by completing this quick survey! You’ll be entered into a drawing upon completion.

If we were to share all three product updates coming this year in one picture, it would look a little something like this…   

 Can you spot all the updates?!

Let’s break it down…

  •  SuperLoops | These are a super versatile and durable addition to the MODL ecosystem. For all the bikers, runners, and explorers out there, we think you’re really going to dig these longer and adjustable straps for both ends of the bottle. With many attachment points, you can choose any length to make sure you have a secure attachment point to any bag, branch, or bike. Coming to an internet near you in October  🎃
     
  •  Next-gen Go MOD | Ohhhhh yeah this is one of our favorites. We’ve heard from you all and through our own experiences - the original Go MOD can be so much better. We are stoked to share this update with you all eliminating the most common pain points. This new Go MOD is leak-proof and easy to drink from with a bite-valve instead of a plug. That way, you can attach a straw to the inside and not even have to tilt the bottle to take a sip. And, it has a cover to keep the mouthpiece nice and clean. Coming this November 🦃
     
  •  Tie-Dye MODL | This is one far out addition to the MODL family - the groovy vibes coming from this bottle speak for itself. Coming to a virtual Shakedown Street near you this November 🎶  
  •  BONUS UPDATE: Surprise color | Let’s just say it’s got some Arctic glacier vibes… you’ll see what we mean 😉  We gotta keep things somewhat exciting for you guys.

For now, we have FIVE pairs of SuperLoops and FIVE next-gen Go MODs to send out to a lucky group of backers. You all are at the forefront of the MODL experience and we’d love to hear where you want us to take this adventure. Just take this quick survey and be entered to win a pair of SuperLoops or next-gen Go MOD upon completion!

We'll draw the winners next week! If you say that you're open to a call with us, we'll be in touch soon to schedule a time. Thank you in advance for your insight! We would not be here without you all.

As always, if you have any questions or need help with anything - reach out to us at [email protected]! We're happy to help :) 

That's about it for now - until next time! 


Peace, love, and water ✌️,

Barak, Zack & Justin

Checking-in & MODL updates
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 07, 2020 at 07:36:57 AM

What’s upppp peeps!

We hope you’re doing well, staying healthy, and making the most of this funky time. You don’t need us to tell you that it’s pretty weird out there. That said, we hope you’re getting creative and finding new ways to make the most of it.

Back in the day, we were talking with many of you on a daily basis and... we miss you! Feel free to shoot us an email at [email protected] with a little update from your end - whatcha been up to? How has MODL been for you? Any ideas or suggestions? We’d love to hear from ya :)

Here’s what we’ve been up to:

  • Most of our inventory just arrived at our US fulfillment center meaning wayyy faster shipping times. So if you’re looking to add more MODs or grab some more bottles, all new orders will deliver in 3-7 days. And for being part of the original crew, use the code BACKER for 15% off!
     
  • We’ve pulled our roots from Georgia and planted them in the beautiful city of Denver! That’s right - MODL HQ is now in the Mile-High City soooo all the Colorado backers out there, let’s meet up! Virtually for now, in-person adventures later 🏕
     
  • We’re working on an updated Go MOD! We’ve heard from you all that the plug on the Go MOD is pretty easy to knock loose and you want a cover to keep it clean. A new Go design is in the works now and we think you’ll love it - we sure do!
     

There's much much more we could unpack so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. The years of hard work are finally coming together and the momentum is strong right now 💪 We truly would not be here without you incredible people believing in us so early on, and taking a leap of faith. Cheers to you and the adventures ahead!

Tips, tricks & tinkerers
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 11:02:44 PM

What's uppppppp you incredible people! 

We hope you've had some hydrated adventures since we last spoke (or at least just hydrating). It's been wild to hear all of the ways you've fit MODL into your lives. After many calls, emails, and meetups, we were inspired to create a list of tips and tricks from your experiences. And we want to highlight one backer who has done all sorts of crazy s*** with MODL 🤯 Let's dive right in...

Tips 

  • To scrub down the inside, take a sponge or wet towel and toss it inside the bottle. Remove both caps, then squish and rub the walls of the bottle together (see gif below)
  • You can never be too safe when making sure the cap is on. After screwing on a cap, give it a "squeeze test" by squeezing the middle of the bottle and listening for air. If you hear air, unscrew it a little and try again. You'll get 'em next time :) 
  • To give the bottle a deep clean or get rid of any taste, remove the caps from both ends and place the bottle in boiling water on the stove for 10-15 minutes. Voila! 
  • When the Go MOD is on, use LifeLoops to hook the bottle outside of your bag. That way any valuables are extra safe from getting wet. 

Tricks *inspired by real adventures*

  • Toss some hot or cold water in the bottle and a world of possibilities opens up. MODL becomes a hot compress for aches, a cooling leg roller, a body warmer for a sleeping bag, and much more. If you use boiling water, make sure to hold MODL by the LifeLoops!
  • Place a Vapor MODL on it's side and lay your phone light down on top of it for an impromptu lantern 💡
  • Need a longer LifeLoop? Hook two together! If you need help making that happen, reach out to us at [email protected]

Wavemaker of the Month 🌊  

 We're trying something new! We want to highlight one backer from this awesome community every month. This month, meet Joseph! He's been trying to simplify how he hydrates on bike rides and even jerry-rigged a similar solution to MODL before it existed. You can imagine he got quite creative with how he MODLs. We did a deeper dive on him in our Journal - check it out here :) 

What we're working on

  •  Improving the Go MOD - After many conversations, it's clear the plug for the Go MOD can come out a bit too easily. We're working on a next-gen Go MOD that should address this and will keep you updated on progress. 
  •  Exploring longer LifeLoops - We've heard through the hydrosphere that longer LifeLoops could come in handy when the Go MOD is on, to make it easier to hook onto bikes and more. We're looking into this! 
  •  Designing the next MOD - You all have sent some incredible ideas our way, and we'll poll this community once we have the chance to explore their feasibility. We're always taking suggestions for next-gen MODs so hit us up at [email protected] if you have an idea! 
  •  Building the movement - We view this as the starting line. Now that we have real gear and a killer community, it's time to roll with the momentum. That's why we're giving the next MOD we release to anyone who makes a successful referral for FREE! Head to this link to get a personal code for 15% off for your friends and family :)
  •  Think there's something else we should be working on? Are you using MODL in some interesting ways and want to share as Wavemaker of the Month? Have any issues with your gear?  Shoot us an email at [email protected] :) 

That's all for now folks! You know where to find us 🏔

Have an awesome day,

Barak, Zack & Justin

over 4 years ago – Fri, Jan 10, 2020 at 06:02:40 PM

HAPPY NEW DECADE!! 🎊

This will certainly a decade for the books for you, us, and humanity! There's so much to look forward to, and now we aren't the only ones exploring with a MODL by our side 🤯

Written words can't quite capture the excitement so...   

 But if we had to try with words... WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! Over 80% of MODLs have landed in your hands sooooo what do you think? Hit us with first impressions by heading here :) 

And now, we have some extra utility bottles to share with the world  🌎 So if you hook a friend up with MODL, we'll hook YOU up with the next brand-new MOD!

Head to this link to get a personal code for 15% off for your friends and family. If they grab one, you'll be one of the first to expand your bottle's functionality with the next MOD we release - for free! We will be drawing from your ideas for MODs over the next few months so get thinking 🤔

That's it for now folks! If you haven't received your gear yet, the last MODLs should be rolling in over the next week. If there are any issues when you receive it - wrong color, missing MODs, etc. - let us know through this form and we'll take care of it :) 

Wishing you all an awesome start to the decade,

Barak, Zack & Justin
