Adv3nture founder, Zane Lamprey, traversed the globe hosting shows for Travel Channel, Food Network and National Geographic Channel. While traveling to over 70 countries, he struggled to find apparel that was designed with the traveler in mind, offering stylish options that packed easily, could adapt to changing conditions, and were comfortable during countless hours on planes. He was astounded to find that there was no company that appealed to the millions of people who travel every day.

 

In 2016, Zane created Adv3nture to fix this problem. He founded Adv3nture to make apparel and accessories for travelers, everyday explorers and livers of life, while adhering to his environmental standards. Whether traveling around the world or taking a trip across town, Adv3nture products have the versatility, materials and innovations to get you there comfortably, and in style.


Adv3nture started in 2016 when Zane launched his first Adv3nture product, the Adv3nture Hoodie, which became the most successful fashion Kickstarter campaign ever. The Adv3nture Hoodie raised over $2M through crowdfunding (Kickstarter, Indiegogo and Backerkit). In all, Adv3nture has raised over $4.3 through crowdfunding, providing social proof that there was an unexplored travel niche in the outdoor apparel industry.

Five years later, Adv3nture continues to push the boundaries of innovation for premium apparel and accessories made for travelers who are eager to purchase eco-friendly products. Whether it’s a trip around the world or a cross-town commute, Adv3nture apparel and accessories have features and innovations for people on the move, while providing peace of mind with eco-friendly offerings, like our Cascades Jacket, which is made from 100% recycled water bottles.


While our products are made with extreme attention to detail, our goal is to manufacture our lineup from entirely environmentally sustainable material, while maintaining a negative carbon footprint and positive impact on the world around us. This comes from planting three trees, using no animal product in anything that we make, and utilizing recycled materials whenever possible. We have also begun the process of moving to entirely eco-friendly packaging, reducing plastic and non-recyclable materials. This includes mailers (shipping bags and boxes), labels, and hang tags. 





We have three missions by which we run our business, create our products, and interact with our customers.



Product Mission


We make meaningful products that inspire meaningful lives. We are on a constant journey of improvement, and are consistently looking for ways to make innovative products that make aspects of your life easier, better and more comfortable.


Social Mission

We are committed to encouraging personal growth through exploration and adventure. As a well-traveled group, we understand that there is a positive impact when one goes outside their comfort zone. We believe that living life to the fullest means taking an active role in it as a participant, not just an observer.



Ethical Mission


To take an active role in how our products are made, and the impact they have on the world around us. We are able to closely monitor our production so that we may better maintain our environmental standards.






The “3” in Adv3nture represents the three trees we plant with every purchase. These trees are planted in a partnership with Green Forests Work, a non-profit organization reforesting areas of the Appalachian region that were left derelect from stripmining.





Adv3nture makes premium products that are innovative, packed with features, and that enhance the travel experience. We partner with top manufacturers to create high-end products that are as durable and well-made as they are comfortable and stylish. We are constantly pushing ourselves to be at the forefront of innovation with regards to design and materials. 


Cascades Jacket

 

via GIPHY


Launching in winter 2021, our Cascades Jacket is made from recycled water bottles. An average of 36 water bottles go into each jacket, keeping them from ending up in the environment. This naturally waterproof fabric is able to be produced with sealed seams (protected even the minute needle holes from leaking), and maintaining a waterproof rating of 5,000mm. Additionally, the Cascades Jacket has strategically positioned pockets for weight distribution, it zips-and-snaps into our inner layers (our Voyageurs Hoodie and Badlands Fleece), and converts into a comfortable pillow while traveling.


 

Adv3nture Backpack 

Our revolutionary Adv3nture Backpack has two built-in coolers, which hold up to fourteen 12oz cans, along with a bevvy of pockets and features that are essential while traveling. When arriving at the hotel, the small pack quickly unzips and unclips from the BIG PACK, so bulky items and valuables can be left safely behind, while the small pack, one of the lightest backpacks on the market, can be taken to explore the city.

The Adv3nture Pack has everything you would expect in a premium backpack, like laptop sleeves, water bottle holders, and a hard-shell sunglasses holder. But, with over 32 features and innovations, like built-in coolers and a secret passport pocket, this backpack provides uniquely convenient options for world travel as well as your daily commute.


 

Expedition Flannel

Made from 100% cotton, the Expedition Flannel is made to be a classic go-to shirt. This flannel is comfortable, stylish and durable, with the unique feature of being able to be rolled into a travel pillow, allowing for more efficient packing.




Adv3nture is positioned to be a major player in the travel sector of the outdoor apparel marketplace. With competitive apps providing cost cutting travel options, and social media effectively rewarding people for posting about their adventures while traveling, the travel industry is growing faster than ever. While Adv3nture apparel is stylish and comfortable for everyday wear, we skew more on the travel niche, to further establish our presence in a booming marketplace.


Outdoor and travel apparel continues to grow rapidly, surpassing $12B in sales in 2020. This marketplace expects growth of at least $3.9B over the next three years (Source). Adv3nture is uniquely positioned to be a player in the virtually unexplored travel sector of the outdoor apparel industry, with an eco-friendly focus. 


  • Adv3nture is positioned in a growing industry. 88% of Americans say travel is “extremely” or “very” important to their lives (2021/www.fiftygrande.com). 69% of U.S. travelers say sustainable travel is important to them, and 53% said they were more determined to make sustainable choices when looking to travel again in the future. (March 2020 booking.com)
  • We believe that sustainable manufacturing is the future, and we are proud to already make that a priority. The sustainable fashion market is expected to grow to $9.81 billion in 2025 and $15.17 billion in 2030. Adv3nture is already uniquely positioned to be a disrupter in the marketplace by 2022, and has already been a leader in ethical manufacturing since 2015. (Ethical Fashion Market Global Report)
  • The outdoor apparel marketplace is expected to continue to grow. Already seeing $12b in revenue in 2020, The outdoor apparel market for the period of 2021-2031 is expected to rise 5% year over year, with rising participation in outdoor activities and travel as a key factor, propelling demand in the marketplace. (Transparency)



Adv3nture plans to launch a product line in advance of every season, providing lasting options, as opposed to “fast fashion” where products are out of style in a few years. While we have focused primarily on cold weather items in the past,we will begin to offer warm weather options beginning in spring of 2022. Our spring line is expected to introduce a line of breathable apparel, with moisture-wicking properties for warm-weather traveling and exploring.


In fall of 2022, we expect to introduce a line of comfortable everyday apparel, which are just as home on the plane, as they are on a night on the town. Travel apparel should be able to adapt to any environment, both weather-related and socially. Our goal is to constantly improve our product line, because innovation never rests.



For the winter 2022 season, we plan on offering a full-line of 3-in-1 products, where the cozy inner-layers zip and snap into the weather-busting outer layers, giving travelers flexibility to easily adapt to changing weather conditions, while being able to pack less in their suitcase.



Since our inception, we have launched our new products on Kickstarter and other crowdfunding platforms. It has always been the plan to transition away from crowdfunding our products, and instead offer backers the opportunity to invest in the company that they’re helping to build. In the past few years, we have put more resources into growing the brand than in our crowdfunding campaigns.



The majority of future revenues are expected to be achieved through on-line sales, while there is the expectation that significant revenue will come from in-person sales at our brick-and-mortar locations. The physical locations, also serving as retail showrooms where customers can experience and purchase our products in person, will primarily serve as fulfillment centers for our on-line sales. The expectation is that in-person sales generate the revenue necessary for overhead, while these strategic locations will reduce the shipping fees, storage fees, and shipping times that were experienced with our formal 3PL fulfillment partners.


Based on the success already seen from our Seattle location, Adv3nture plans to open showrooms/fulfillment centers in strategic cities across the country with the intention of shortening shipping times, creating a place for consumers to experience our products, greatly reducing our carbon footprint.


 

 


Adv3nture is a growing brand in the unexploited travel niche of the outdoor apparel industry. Our extremely successful crowding funding campaigns, and increasing year-over-year sales, offer social proof that Adv3nture is positioned in a marketplace that has high potential. Our veteran leadership, exposure for the brand from our founder and CEO, and industry accolades give us the confidence that we are properly positioned for expansion. Invest in Adv3nture because you appreciate the direction that we are heading and want to be part of our ground-breaking brand. You can be proud to invest in Adv3nture because of our strong product lines, but also because of our passion and dedication to our community, the environment, and the world we live in.

130 Location National "Brand Exposure" U.S. Tour in '22

How many online apparel companies have the capability to showcase their gear at 130 physical key target market locations across the United States in a year? Then again, how many companies have a professional traveling comedian as a their CEO? 

Our CEO / Founder Zane Lamprey completed an 89 stop comedy tour in 2021. At each stop Adv3nture had a booth setup to not only meet & greet new customers, but allow people to touch, feel and try on the Adv3nture gear, a big piece missing for "online only" retailers. We made great sales at each location, but more importantly grew the brand and grew our marketing reach. 

In 2022, Zane Lamprey will be back at it embarking on a 130 stop comedy tour and Adv3nture will be right there with him. This is priceless benefit for an apparel company with maximum exposure and minimum overhead. 

"Getting people across the U.S. to feel the quality and see how well our items fit on them is an unparalleled opportunity for the Adv3nture brand and the response has been terrific at each location. A good amount of people knew about the brand, but getting the items into their hands and talking to them one on one about Adv3nture has made all the difference," mentioned to Zane. 

If you'd haven't checkout out the upcoming tour stops you can see them all here.

Teasers from recents photoshoots

A few months ago we commissioned two photographers to capture new images of our biggest items; Cascades Jacket, Expedition Flannels and the Adv3nture Packs. We'll be using these photos for a lot of our marketing purposes (e-mail marketing, social media marketing and paid media advertising). 

Here a few sneak peek shots...

If you're a follower of this campaign, now is the time to take action. If you have any pre-investment questions, please reach out to us via the comments and we'll reply back to you ASAP! 

We're ramping up for a great Q2-Q4 this year! See you at the finish line.

More than a store

Our beautiful store location in Seattle, WA is more than just a cool spot to check out and try on our gear, it doubles as our fulfillment center. A large percentage of Startup apparel companies rely on 3rd party fulfillment centers to get off the ground. They are equipped with the storage space, shipping logistics and staffing to help with an angle of business a startup company does have the physical bandwidth or financial backing to take on. 

The downside, fulfillment centers cut into profit margins, increase overhead, put quality control in someone else's hands and are normally in remote locations from the core company location.

With our Seattle location in full swing, and our customer service and fulfillment manager Sarah on board, we started transitioning away from our 3rd party  fulfillment company in 2020 and are almost 100% in-house for our order fulfillment needs. 

The benefits are already showing in our bottom line as we have direct control of inventory accounting, quality control, product order customer service and all of the financial benefits of cutting out a middleman. 

Our goal is to open new physical locations that as our own "drop ship" centers to expedite order delivery as well as cut down on shipping cost overheard. 


03.17.22

Less than two weeks to go!

To help with potential investors who may not be familiar with the StartEngine platform or Adv3nture, we set up a dedicated landing page to help answer frequently asked questions regarding this campaign that were not addressed on our StartEngine campaign page.

We're looking forward to a strong finish and will be posting more updates soon!

Overseas Meetings

Prior to COVID, we made regular trips to visit our overseas manufacturers. Spending several days of face-time was very efficient when creating new products, however it was a  large expense, especially when we felt that several team members were need on the trip. As times change, especially as the result of a pandemic, we have not visited our manufacturers since 2019.



Face-to-face meetings, like in many industries, have been replaced by virtual meetings. While it took some getting used to, we now believe we can work even more efficiently via virtual meetings than with our in-person meetings. We often send samples, fabric and accessories back-and-forth via DHL, and then convene via the computer to discuss developments and changes. It requires us to work late, and our overseas partners to start work early, but we’ve all adjusted!

Innovation is a part of our DNA

We integrate innovative features into all of the products that we make. Innovation is often a well-placed pocket, a built-in beverage koozie, or an integrated holder for your sunglasses. Our pillow conversion is one our more remarkable innovations, where our Cascades jacket can be folded up into the mid-back pocket, to make a perfectly-sized, and incredible viable, travel pillow.

Innovation in our product can also a matter of creating fabrics that deviate from the norm, like the fabric in our Cascades jacket, which is made from recycled water bottles. This fabric is water resistant, breathable and flexible. We have also be working with our fabric manufacturer to create a fabric that is made from sustainable sources, like bamboo and organic cotton. Being innovative, and re-imagining how a product can perform or feel, is an important step while creating any product that we create.

You all have wasted your money by investing. I invested in Adv3nture in this same manner 2+ yrs ago. October 10, 2019 to be exact. And i have gain absolutely NOTHING in return. Since then, their number of products offerings have declined, there was mention of a guided tour adventure that never happened, and later on, there was talk of opening breweries. Yeah, right! I've since given up the thought of ever seeing my initial investment returned to me, let alone this company ever going public. Yet here they go again. Good luck, but buyer beware!!!!

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
