Europe's largest outdoor gear fair "ISPO MUNICH 2015" DAY1 and 2 Summary
Written by Yasushi Hisatomi
This week, the largest sport-related goods trade fair in Europe (although it is said to be the largest in the world) "ISPO (International Trade Show for Sports Equipment and Fashion," will be held in Munich, Germany for four days starting from February 5th.
This is also ORWM, which I mentioned the other day , and the enthusiasm and glamorous atmosphere created by outdoor and action sports enthusiasts around the world are wonderful! I hope it's also available in Japan. Well that aside, this ISPO has actually been running in Beijing and Shanghai for a few years, and it is clear that the global outdoor industry sees the Chinese market as an opportunity for the future. I would definitely like to visit the next ISPO Shanghai from July 2nd to 4th (I can't).
This time, I will browse through the ISPO patterns on Twitter, drooling, and pick out only interesting tweets.
First, we have the news of the Treranzak Inovate RACE ULTRA 10 award.

The official video channel has uploaded videos of several booths and more (The North Face below).

Here you can see cross-country and backcountry gear. I'm curious about The North Face's mounting ABS avalanche airbag!
