A Suitcase You Can Carry! The Two-Way Bag from Renowned Swiss Outdoor Brand "Exped" that Combines the Best Backpack Features

Work-related luggage can sometimes be heavier than hiking gear. To alleviate the physical burden while carrying, high-quality outdoor brand bags are optimal; however, there are many cases where looking like you just came from the mountains (or before a hike) is not suitable for a business setting. On the other hand, conventional carry cases are cumbersome to move around with. Is there a bag that allows for agile transport while still being appropriate for business use?
 
The two-way bag "Cruiser" from the esteemed Swiss outdoor brand Exped solves this dilemma. We visited the Japanese distributor SOHSHIN and spoke with marketing manager Jun Hosokawa.

From a Comfortable Backpack to a Business-Savvy Shoulder Bag

"Born in the bicycle culture of Switzerland, the 'Cruiser' is designed with attention to water resistance when worn as a backpack. The front uses a durable 840D nylon fabric with TPU laminate, achieving a waterproof rating of 10,000mm. It's rain-resistant and easy to wipe clean, and the zipper and pocket openings are concentrated on the back side for easier access when the bag is placed front-down."
 
Indeed, when placing the front, made of highly water-resistant robust material, down on the floor or a table, the openings for access are gathered on the top side (the back of the backpack). With a neat front, it is easy to store in overhead bins on planes or under the seat in front, as well as on train racks.
