An innovative vest-style backpack that can be expanded to suit any situation. Now available from Normal, led by Kilian Jornet.

In recent years, vest-style backpacks—originally developed for trail running—have been gaining attention as a new fashion item. They’re lightweight, offer an excellent fit, and provide outstanding storage capacity, all while serving as a stylish fashion accessory. Given that they’re simply functional and convenient, it’s only natural that demand for them is on the rise.

One option I’d like to include among these vest-style backpacks is the “Modular Trail Vest | Unisex” from NNORMAL, a brand founded by trail running superstar Kilian Jornet.

This product is based on an 8-liter vest-style backpack and comes with a detachable 4-liter waterproof bag. It’s perfect for everyday use, daily jogging, and even short races, and when you attach the 4-liter waterproof bag, it’s ready for long races exceeding 100 km.

While boasting surprisingly high versatility, it’s packed with features—such as traverse pockets and loops for storing poles—that will satisfy even top athletes. Yet it’s finished with the minimalist, stylish design unique to the 〈Normal〉 line, making it truly appealing.
