Hello! I’m Seki, the store manager of FITTWO, an outdoor shop in Ueno!
Today, I’d like to introduce the CHROME’s popular and best-selling bag, “KADET.” This bag, known for its simple design and excellent usability, is actually CHROME’s top-selling sling bag in the United States, and it’s also one of our best-selling products!
However, KADET’s appeal is not just its ease of use. A major highlight is the ability to customize it to suit your needs by pairing it with dedicated accessories and complementary items.
First, I’ll give you a brief introduction to the KADET, and then I’ll introduce some customization options and useful items to pair with it!

About KADET
Basic Specifications
Capacity: 9L
Dimensions: W42 x H20 x D9 (cm)
Price: ¥13,750 (incl. tax)~
The KADET is a crossbody sling bag that fits securely to your body.
With a 9L capacity, it can hold your wallet, keys, a jacket, and even a 2L water bottle. If you don’t attach a case, you can also fit a 14-inch laptop inside!
Storage Space
The main compartment includes several pockets and even a key ring!
Additionally, there is a horizontal storage pocket on the front.
On the back, you’ll find a U-lock holder for bicycles, reflecting CHROME’s origins as a messenger bag brand.
Shoulder Strap
The shoulder strap is equipped with CHROME’s signature “seatbelt buckle” feature!
This allows you to unbuckle the bag just like a seatbelt, making it easy to put on and take off without having to pull it over your head.
Adjusting the tightness or looseness is effortless with a one-touch mechanism!
It also comes with a secondary strap to prevent the bag from shifting forward when leaning forward or riding a bicycle.
Next, I’ll introduce related accessories and complementary items.
Related Item ①: KADET ORGANIZER
Among KADET-related accessories, our best-selling item is the “KADET ORGANIZER”!
Price: ¥3,850 (incl. tax)
One downside of the KADET is that it has limited pockets, making it easy for items to get disorganized inside. However, by attaching this organizer, you can increase storage space and keep small items neatly sorted!
Designed specifically for the KADET, this organizer securely attaches to the bag. Its semi-rigid structure also helps maintain the shape of the bag when inserted!
Related Item ②: UTILITY POUCH
If you don’t need as much storage as the ORGANIZER provides, there’s also a simpler pouch option.
・LARGE
Dimensions: W30 x H15 (cm)
Price: ¥2,530 (incl. tax)
・SMALL
Dimensions: W23 x H10 (cm)
Price: ¥2,200 (incl. tax)
Available in two sizes: large and small!
The interior is lined with waterproof material, making it perfect for storing items you want to keep dry.
Related Item ③: LARGE PHONE POUCH
CHROME also offers external accessories that can be attached to the KADET!
This is a smartphone holder!
Dimensions: W9 x H19 x D1.8 (cm)
Price: ¥3,080 (incl. tax)
With smartphones getting larger and many people using thick protective cases, not all phones will fit inside. However, thanks to the elastic sides, it can accommodate most standard-sized smartphones!
The back features a Velcro attachment, allowing you to secure it to the KADET’s strap. This makes it easy to access your smartphone without having to open your bag!
Beyond just storing your phone, this pouch also features a built-in reflector that shines when hit by light, making it useful in low-light conditions. Plus, it includes a key ring for added convenience!
Related ④ TECH ACCESSORY POUCH
This is another item that can be attached to the strap!
Compared to the “LARGE PHONE POUCH,” this one features a wide-opening zipper, making it easy to access your items. You can store not just your phone but also pens and other small essentials!
Capacity: 5L
Dimensions: W13 x H18 x D4 (cm)
Price: ¥4,400 (tax included)
Please note that when attached, the opening may face downward, so be careful when opening it.
Personally, I found it easier to use when attached horizontally!
Related ⑤ MINI BUCKLE KEYCHAIN
A convenient item for holding keys!
Price: ¥3,850 (tax included)~
This keychain features a miniature version of the “seatbelt buckle” used in the KADET! Simply press the logo part to detach it, making it convenient for attaching keys.
No matter how much you shake it, it won’t come off, so you don’t have to worry about losing your keys!

Besides the “seatbelt buckle,” there is also a simpler buckle option!
