Let's go on a trip with tents on our backs. Things we used on our Hachijojima trip.

The temperature is rising day by day and the days are gradually getting longer. Just stepping outside is enough to make you feel relaxed, and many of you must be itching to go on a trip somewhere. This is what pushed me to go on a trip to Hachijojima. In this second part, we focus on the gear that supported us on our trip. From transportation, camping, mountain climbing, and running. We will introduce the tools that supported us on this trip, along with our real-life impressions of how they were used.

I choose my socks based on what I'm doing.

〈Luna Sandals〉 Toe Socks Luna ￥3,190 (Luna Sandals)

When your feet get cold in sandals.

“These tabi-style socks go perfectly with the ‘Luna Sandals.’ They’re made from a polyester-wool blend and have just the right thickness. They really came in handy when it got a little chilly in the mornings and evenings.” (Yamamoto)

Light Trail Run 1/4 Crew ￥ 2,970 (DryMax)

Keep the inside of your shoes dry.

“Drymax socks dry quickly even when wet and are comfortable to wear. They’re also very reliable for preventing blisters, so they’re pretty much my go-to choice for races,” says Yamamoto.
