HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡Special Edition
Dayhike at L.L.Bean.

Lastly, I would like to introduce some of the items from "L.L. Bean" that were utilized by the HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡s during this day hike.

Among the items from "L.L. Bean" this time, HOUYHNHNM's Running Club members liked this T-shirt the best because it kept them cool and dry. While made of water-absorbent and quick-drying material, it has a cotton-like texture and is stretchy and comfortable to wear. The colors are beautiful and the graphics on the front are cute. They are recommended not only for use in the mountains, but also for everyday use.

This T-shirt and the other items in L.L. Bean's Sun Smart series offer UPF 50+ protection, blocking 97.5% of UV rays. With about 10 times the UV protection of a standard white cotton T-shirt, you can enjoy the outdoors with peace of mind even during the coming sunburn season.

This full-zip jacket was designed based on L.L. Bean's classic "Mountain Classic Anorak. This is a type with a hood. The material used is a water-resistant and wind-resistant nylon material. It was used during breaks on this mountain trip. By quickly putting it on when I felt cold, it prevented the wind from getting in and kept my body temperature from dropping. In addition to the casual design typical of "L.L. Bean," the Katahdin logo label on the left chest is catchy. It blends in with any scene, such as on the train on the way to and from the mountain, or in town after descending the mountain.

This is a new stand collar type available only in Japan. The main specifications are the same as the hooded type, but the texture of the fabric is soft and supple. It has a soft and supple texture, with a gentle, cotton-like feel, without the crispness that is often associated with nylon jackets. It is different from the technical outdoor wear that is the mainstream these days, but it is cool in its own way. It is a cool jacket to wear as if you were an American hiker of yesteryear.

New for this season , low-cut hiking shoes. The midsole is made of lightweight, highly cushioned EVA, allowing the wearer to walk in the mountains with the lightness and comfort of a sneaker. The outsole is made of rubber VertiGrip, which provides grip on a variety of surfaces, and the upper is made of TEK2.5®, a waterproof and breathable material, so it is safe even on rainy days.

A simple yet substantial backpack with ample storage. The main compartment access has a large zipper opening for easy loading and unloading. Elastic mesh pockets on both sides for storing a water bottle. The capacity is 15 liters, just right for a day hike. On this hike, each person carried a change of clothes, food, water, and other necessary gear in this bag. It will be useful not only in the mountains, but also for daily use.

L.L. Bean is well known for its tote bags and bean boots for the casual scene, but it also offers a wide range of highly functional items suitable for activities such as this day hike. Spring is just around the corner. Why don't you take a trip to the nearby mountains with "L.L. Bean" on your next holiday?
