5 Staff Picks

【CHROME】BOT FLAP SLING 8L

Basic Information

A sling bag that is lightweight yet highly durable, with excellent storage capacity. It is versatile enough for everything from daily use to active outdoor scenes.

Available in black-based color variations with different materials.

Price: ¥13,200 – ¥15,400 (tax included)

Recommended Points

First, what stands out is the tough material feel and durability that is characteristic of CHROME.
Made primarily from recycled nylon, the sturdy fabric is resistant to abrasion and tearing, making it reliable not only for everyday city use but also for touring, festivals, and more active situations.

The front features a flap + magnetic closure, allowing for quick and easy access while keeping your belongings secure. Frequently used items can be taken in and out smoothly without stress.

【CHROME】PAC ACCESSORY POUCH SM

Basic Information

A compact and highly practical accessory pouch that incorporates the functionality of the PAC series.

Available in black-based color variations with different materials.

Price: Around ¥6,000 (tax included)

Recommended Points

One of the standout features is the accordion gusset structure, a signature of the PAC series.
The wide-opening design allows you to see everything inside at a glance, making it easy to access even small items smoothly.

Despite its compact size, the interior offers excellent storage capacity, making it ideal for gadgets, small items, or even as a wallet substitute.

It also uses durable materials typical of CHROME, ensuring toughness and reliability. You can use it not only as a bag-in-bag organizer but also carry it on its own with confidence.

Additionally, when paired with backpacks or sling bags, it works as an expansion item that helps organize your belongings efficiently. Highly recommended for those who want to keep their everyday bags neat and tidy.

【THE NORTH FACE】Versatile Blouson

Basic Information

A lightweight and portable nylon blouson with a simple design, suitable for both everyday wear and outdoor use.

Available in colors such as black and gray.

Price: ¥17,600 (tax included)

Recommended Points

The key feature is its lightweight and easy-to-wear versatility.
Made from thin nylon fabric, it is easy to carry and perfect for quick use during chilly mornings and evenings or as a light windbreaker.

The outer fabric is treated with water-repellent coating, making it suitable for light rain and dirt. This makes it a reliable option even in unstable weather or outdoor situations.

The silhouette offers a slightly relaxed fit, making it easy to layer over various innerwear. It works well over sweatshirts or shirts, making it a perfect lightweight outerwear piece for seasonal transitions.

Another appealing point is its clean blouson-style design without a hood.
Compared to shell jackets in the same series, it blends more naturally into everyday outfits and can be styled from casual to slightly refined looks.

The relatively affordable price range is also a plus, making it an easy choice as a “go-to lightweight outerwear from THE NORTH FACE.”

【SALOMON】XA PRO 3D V9 GORE-TEX

This versatile shoe combines excellent stability and grip with reliable waterproof performance.

Available in various colors, including black.

Price: ¥22,000 (tax included)

Recommended Points

The standout feature is its high waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX.
It prevents water from entering even in rainy or snowy conditions, while allowing moisture inside the shoe to escape, ensuring comfort in bad weather.

True to the XA PRO 3D series, it also offers excellent stability.
The 3D Advanced Chassis™ minimizes foot movement, providing confidence on uneven terrain and during long walks.

A versatile shoe that combines KEEN’s outdoor performance with exceptional comfort, suitable for everything from hiking to everyday town use.

Available in colors such as black and khaki.

Price: ¥26,400 (tax included)

The midsole uses highly cushioned materials, providing a comfortable feel even during long hours of walking.
Perfect for travel, daily use, or light activities.

The outsole features high-grip rubber, supporting stable walking on wet surfaces and gravel roads. It’s designed to be reliable not only in the city but also for light outdoor use.

Another highlight is KEEN’s signature roomy toe box (Original Fit). It allows your toes to move naturally, reducing stress and providing comfort even during extended wear.
