It's the perfect season to enjoy the outdoors—walking on cool highlands and ridgelines during summer, and exploring refreshing low mountains in autumn. Nowadays, with the compactness of belongings, you don't need to carry bulky luggage for day trips or one-night mountain walks (staying at a hotel at the base or a mountain hut). Putting your necessary gear in a small backpack and walking lightly is practical and also convenient for everyday city walks.
Is there a backpack around 20 liters in capacity that is equipped with useful functions for mountain walks and can also be used conveniently in the city? If you compare various options in outdoor specialty stores, the "
Lowe Alpine" "
Airzone" series stands out both in terms of matching the conditions and being reasonably priced. So, I visited
LandR and spoke with Sales Manager Tsuyoshi Yamazaki.
