WHAT'S YOUR OUTDOOR STYLE? vol.2
We asked five members of the press about the hottest outdoor gear of the moment.

The outdoors is enjoying a huge boom. The word "outdoors" is used to describe a wide variety of outdoor activities, such as camping, mountain climbing, fishing, biking, and so on. This summer, I want to try outdoor activities! But many people don't know where to start. One way is to start with gear and clothing. In this issue, we visit five outdoor stores and ask them to recommend outdoor play gear, while we also introduce items that we have been wanting to buy through our research.

Koti BEAUTY&YOUTH

H BEAUTY&YOUTH is an outdoor label by Beauty & Youth that launched this spring/summer season. H BEAUTY&YOUTH offers stylish apparel that can be worn both in the field and on the street, and has a permanent corner at H BEAUTY&YOUTH, which sells a selection of both standard brands and popular garage brands.

PROFILE

Takashi Kodama
BEAUTY&YOUTH Press

He occasionally goes to outdoor festivals, but is new to the outdoors. He likes to start with the basics, and he feels the same way about Coty Beauty & Youth's outdoor wear that can be worn on the street. She incorporates outdoor gear into her personal life and fashion.

Koti BEAUTY&YOUTH〉RIPSTOP WIDER SHORTS ¥14,300

. It features a large pocket like a mountain parka. The right pocket is equipped with a small divider, so there is no mess of small items in the pocket. The body is made of lightweight ripstop nylon and the pockets are made of mesh material , so it can be worn for waterfront play.

Our base is fashion, so we came up with the idea of making nylon shorts with an easy-to-wear silhouette and color palette. They are larger in size and have a silhouette that other outdoor brands do not have. I want people to wear these shorts not only in the outdoors, but also on a daily basis."

XEROSHOES
Zero Shoes Sandals

(XEROSHOES) CLOUD ¥7,480

A modern update of the Wallach, Zero Shoes' sandals are as light as a cloud, as the model's name suggests. The sole, integrated heel counter, and straps prevent the foot from slipping out of place. The thin, bare-footed sole has excellent grip and is easy to walk in.

The sole is thin, making it easy to feel the ground with the soles of your feet. . The feeling of comfort may be a sensation you have never felt before. Although they are tongue-shaped with a nose strap, the fit can be adjusted with the heel strap, and some people are running in the mountains with them. Sandals are popular on the fashion scene as well, but the fact that they are not the trendy thick-soled sandals is refreshing.

HALF TRACK PRODUCTS × 〈Koti BEAUTY&YOUTH〉carmenobag ¥7,700

A special order from the popular garage brand "Half Track Products". The bag is pocketable and can be stored entirely in the inside pocket, making it convenient to use as a sub-bag or eco-bag. It can also be carried as a handbag without the shoulder strap.

As the name suggests, it is lightweight and durable. . We made a special order in a real tree pattern ripstop nylon, which is not often seen. It is the perfect size for carrying a change of clothes when camping or going to a spa. I think it can be used in many other ways as well."

Tarp to Tarp, a cafe in Yokohama for campers by campers, and Coty have crossed over on the Revomax, a vacuum-insulated bottle from the U.S. The bottle's cap can be easily opened and closed with one hand, and its double-sealed structure provides high heat- and cold-retention properties. The cap can be easily opened and closed with one hand, and the double-sealed structure provides high heat and cold retention. In addition to the gear-inspired silver coloring, black is also available.

. "The ease of operation, which allows you to push all three buttons at the same time to open it, is very convenient. I personally use the 12 oz size, which is just the right size to fit in my car's drink holder, and I use it when I go to work. Moreover, thanks to a mechanism that releases the internal pressure of carbonation, it can also hold beer and other carbonated beverages. I could even take it to a store that sells craft beer by weight and have it poured for me to drink at the campsite!"
