URBAN EX GAS CAN PACK 22L

It is not affected by the downpour of rain.

To be honest, I am troubled by the abnormal weather we have been experiencing recently. The other day, on my way to a meeting, I was hit by a guerrilla downpour, and of course I didn't have an umbrella with me. The time for the meeting was getting closer and closer. In my bag was my laptop computer with important presentation materials and data to be projected on the projector. I don't mind getting myself wet, but not these...

URBAN EX ROLLTOP TOTE 40L

A tough material that will never tear.

In our daily lives, it is not often that we find ourselves in a "harsh environment," but we humans are extremely susceptible to words such as "completely waterproof" or "materials actually used by the military on the battlefield. A tough material that cannot be torn even if scratched by a sharp stone. This is another necessary element to buy peace of mind. It would be a stretch to say that it is not necessary to have such a high level of specifications, but the reason why "chrome" bags are packed with such high level of specifications is that you can be prepared for anything, and the big can be better than the small.

The "URBAN EX" series is characterized by its lightweight, strong, and waterproof sewing using NAR-WELDED technology designed to protect your belongings in harsh environments. The URBAN EX ROLLTOP TOTE 40L, as the name suggests, has a large 40-liter capacity with a long handle for shoulder use and a removable padded strap for tucking in. The roll-top end of the main compartment has a magnetic roll-top closure, and the outside is designed to hold a U-shaped lock and a helmet for easy access and storage. By adjusting the capacity according to the occasion, it can accommodate a variety of lifestyles. It is a reliable tote bag that can be used not only for daily use, but also for a change of clothes and shoes for those who do gym work, and even for business trips and trips that involve overnight stays.

URBAN EX ROLLTOP 28

If it gets muddy, just wash it!

We went camping for the weekend. Driving west for three hours, we arrived at a lakeside. We arrived at a certain lakeside. It had rained the day before, and the ground was a little muddy. After unloading our luggage, we immediately started to pitch the tent, but our hands were covered with mud. Anyway, as we proceeded with our preparations, we realized that it was already late in the evening. And there was a shower.... I started to gather up my belongings to put them in the tent, but my bag was covered in mud. Many of you may have experienced that it would have been better to postpone the trip to another day.

This is a further update of the popular roll-top backpack "URBAN EX ROLLTOP" that has gained popularity for being completely waterproof, lightweight, and ultra-strong. The knurled-welded construction makes it much stronger and lighter than when sewn together. The 10-liter capacity has been increased and optimized for 2-day luggage, including travel use. The roll-top design of the exterior pocket allows easy access to keys, cell phone, wallet, and other frequently used items. The interior of the bag is equipped with storage pockets to keep a variety of items organized while protecting them from impact. The unique texture (luster), which cannot be found in other "chrome" bags, can be said to be one of the features of the "urban ex rolltop.

Above all, dust and mud, which are common in bags, can be washed off with a quick splash of water in this completely waterproof bag. You don't have to worry at all about getting covered in mud while camping.

URBAN EX DAYPACK

Only when you use it tough can you see its power.

While riding a bicycle, a pedestrian suddenly came around a corner. He swerved quickly and avoided a collision, but lost his position and fell. Thanks to the fact that I was carrying a backpack, I did not hit my head, and although I hit a concrete wall, it was not serious. However, there was a big scrape on the backpack...

The URBAN EX DAYPACK has a more business-like square silhouette, with a three-sided zip-top design, a large, wide opening to access luggage, and a zipper top with a water-resistant watertight zipper. The main compartment provides easy access to keys, cell phone, wallet, etc. The interior of the bag features storage pockets that keep a variety of items organized while protecting them from impact. In addition, it has a padded sleeve that can hold a 13" MacBook Pro, making it ideal for business use.

With its simple and minimalist look, the "Urban Ex Daypack" can be used from on to off, and vice versa, without any boundaries. Like the models introduced so far, its tough body will protect your valuable contents without tearing under any circumstances.
