The Activest is a semi-modular, functional, and reversible half-vest designed for the duality of activist life.
One side for hope: wheatpasting, community building, flyers.
The other side for anger: protests, marches, and civil disobedience.

Created to hold 8.5”x11” printer paper in its main body-conforming pouch, to be able to hand out flyers and put up posters on the go while keeping them wrinkle-free and safe from the elements.

Activest initially started as a messenger bag concept but quickly transformed into the half-vest typology, to keep all contents close to the body to be ready to run at a moment’s notice.

Anger: snacks, wallet, hand sanitizer
Anger: business cards, sudecon wipes, camera
Hope: paintrbush, pens, markers, chalk
Hope: sharpie, pens, 24x36 poster holder attachment points,
Molle slot for face cover or paint rag
custom hardware key loop, to attach waterbottle, wheatpaste, and spraypaint holders, and fidlock clasp
