The all-new FLYTE
gaming backpack’s official launch is slated for later this year, but Turtle

2017, where fans can purchase the backpack for a discounted “early bird” price
of $99.00 and secure their spot as some of the first gamers in the world to
receive one. The initial supply of FLYTE gaming backpacks is limited
with only 1,500 units worldwide, and there will be two options available.
First is EGL’s own
FLYTE backpack in black. Second, of the initial 1,500 pieces, EGL
has created 500 limited-edition grey FLYTE backpacks exclusively
for Turtle Beach. Further, in addition to offering the grey FLYTE
backpack as a standalone item for $99.00 during the pre-order timeframe, Turtle
Beach has put together a generous selection of pairings with other Turtle Beach
products and apparel, including all-new Turtle Beach zipper hoodies, t-shirts,
hats and more that fans will surely want to explore at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-world-s-best-gaming-backpack-without-equal-travel#/.
“Whether you’re an
eSports pro, a hardcore gamer, or someone who enjoys taking their console with
them on vacation, there are so many gamers on the go these days that there’s definitely
a need for a true gaming backpack,” said MacLean Marshall, Sr. Director of
Brand and Communications at Turtle Beach. “Gaming has become a lifestyle just
like surf, skate and snow culture, camping, hiking or whatever your flavor is,
and I can tell you that after having used a prototype FLYTE backpack
for the past few months that this bag is fantastic. It looks and feels great,
and is extremely comfortable even when loaded with my console, laptop and other
necessities, and is the perfect backpack to suit that gamer-on-the-go lifestyle.”
Added Dan
Werling, Co-Founder, Electronic Gamers’ League:
“As the premiere
eSports apparel company, we saw an opportunity to create a backpack to suit the
needs of today’s gamers, who are consistently roaming the world, competing in
tournaments, attending shows and more. We put a significant amount of time,
effort and energy into the creation of the FLYTE backpack,
joining forces with one of the most prestigious bag design firms in the world
to ensure this backpack is nothing short of amazing. And we’re
also excited to team-up with Turtle Beach to create their custom, limited-edition
grey FLYTE bag – something I’m sure we’ll see the guys from OpTic
Gaming and FaZe Clan wearing soon enough as they’re already using Turtle
Beach’s premiere ELITE PRO headsets and other gear. There are
backpacks, and then there’s the FLYTE…and if you’re a gamer
there’s no better, more comfortable way to carry around all your gear and look
great while doing it.”
