User-oriented useful features in a simple design.
. Please tell us about the design, function, and materials while introducing some of the items you actually recommend.
Raw book:The most authentic one is the "City" daypack. The design is kept really simple and easy to use, but we have included useful features throughout.
. For example, when you take a train, you put your bag down and bring it in front of your body. When the train is crowded, the small pockets on the outside and inside of the bag are unexpectedly difficult to use.
. Therefore, a small pocket is placed at the top of the main compartment for easy access to small items. Inside that pocket, we have created a more secure mesh pocket to hold keys and other items.
Also, since it has become commonplace to carry a laptop computer in recent years, we have created a dedicated storage space. . Here, there are pockets for not only the computer, but also for adapters and other peripherals.
You were talking earlier about the functionality that is in tune with the times.
Raw book:But that's not all. The harness, or belt, is curved to fit the lines of the body so that it is easy to carry, and mesh material is used where it hits the back to prevent steam, and other structural features are also carefully considered.
What kind of fabrics do you use?
Raw book:This is called "ventile," a fabric that was once used for clothing by the British military. By beating the fabric to the extreme and increasing the weave density, it has high water resistance despite being made of cotton.
So it is a functional material made of natural fibers.
Raw book:After all, cotton becomes more and more durable as it is used. We wanted to make a product that users can enjoy such changes.
. I thought it was unique that there was a "cross bike" category.
Raw book:This one is made of "Spectra", a ripstop fabric woven with the highest strength fiber. It's the strongest material on the planet in terms of tearing strength. When we were making samples, the factory told us that it was difficult to cut the fabric (laugh). . It is also highly water-repellent and can be used in the rain.
. seems to have an affinity with bicycles.
Raw book:Yes, that's right. Most shoulder belts are usually adjustable from only one side, but in the case of the "untrack," the length can be adjusted from both sides, allowing the position of the padding to be set more precisely.
. The key point is that the parts such as buckles and fasteners were selected to be easy to open and close even with gloves on, and were developed from the user's viewpoint.
Velcro is often used on messenger bags, but we at "untrack" put a tape-like cover on that part of the bag. We did this so that users can choose how they want to use the bag. For example, if you are wearing knitwear, the velcro might get caught on the knitwear and cause it to become fuzzy.
The cover is designed to prevent that from happening.
Raw book:Yes . Velcro is useful, and I hope that you will decide whether to use it or not, depending on the occasion.
