[Starting in March] Two events that allow you to easily try outdoor gear will be interesting again this year
Written by Yasushi Hisatomi
March, when the new season begins, it is a season where various events are held where you can try out the latest gear, such as actually setting up a tent you're interested in or trying out new shoes. Continuing from last year, we're introducing two events that Outdoor Gearzine is paying attention to.

Featured Event 1: Outdoor Gear Touch & Try 2018
Outdoor Gear Touch & Try is an event where you can "see, touch, or try" large gear such as tents, tarps, and firearms such as burners in the actual field, which are rarely available to try out the practical use. This year, the venue will be Tachikawa, and the brand will be added to the event with even more power.

This year, we'll be packed with all the authentic outdoor brands that are as niche as ever. Since A&F is participating, I wonder if HILLEBERG tents can be set up this year. There seem to be a variety of events during the period, so detailed information be posted on this Facebook page from time to time , so if you're interested, why not check it out and participate?

Featured Event 2: TRAIL OPEN AIR DEMO
This is over 70 outdoor-related brands, including trail running! Outdoor, gear and trial events exhibited. In addition to the deep lineup of new releases, which are popular to minor gear, there are trails around the venue that are perfect for a test run, so I'm happy that I can carefully examine the items on the spot. It is now in its fourth edition, and there are even more and more programs and events. This event is not to be missed as you check out the latest models this season, along with the opening of the trail season.
*Photo shows the last year
Last year, we reported on popular models, etc., but this year, event OGZ has also been working together to share the excitement of the day with a lively feel and in detail! Details will be provided on the Facebook page, so please look forward to it!
