[Polartech's story you can only hear here] Event archive video (part 1) will be released [9/28 Rab special tickets are also on sale]

I've started discord

The fourth offline talk event hosted by Outdoor Gearzine, where Outdoor Gearzine, who knows what's "real" and knows "real" guests every time, shares fun moments with everyone, and the up-and-coming outdoor brand "Rab Special", is just over two weeks away. Preparations are progressing steadily, and I will report on this later, but I have now published an archive video (part 1) that summarizes the previous event, "All About Polartec" on YouTube, so I will share it.

Last time, it was a rather nerdy topic of "materials" rather than items or brands, but at first glance, we were able to enjoy the depth of the outdoors, including previously unknown facts, behind-the-scenes and latest information about familiar outdoor gear that are familiar to you. Whether you're looking forward to the next episode or want to know the atmosphere of the actual event, please take a look.

We are now accepting rave reviews for the fourth talk event on Thursday, September 28th!

Theme: We'll hear plenty of stories from people who know Rab the best and love him, about his charm and abilities that can only be heard here.

What is Rab?

Rab started in 1981 when Robert Carrington began making high-quality, functional down and sleeping bags in his attic in his home in 1981. Reflecting his years of mountain experience and original ideas, the product quickly gained popularity from friends and local mountain climbing communities, and has continued to grow from this, starting with down products, and continues to expand into a wide range of mountain activities including mountain climbing, alpine, climbing, trekking, hiking, running, biking and skiing, and into a wide range of items in a variety of categories, including sleeping bags, mats, shelters, apparel and backpacks. With its belief in "products used in the world's most harsh environments," he is always enthusiastic about taking on new materials and technological innovations, and continues to surprise mountain enthusiasts around the world.

Why are Rab's products so incredible? How did these incredible products come from? We'll introduce you to other amazing new releases for fall/winter 2023

I personally met Rab in 2015's ultra-lightweight rainwear "Flashpoint Jacket."

Its high functionality as an outdoor gear, its good pattern as a clothing item, and its fashionability, was impressed by the "first-class" work, and in an instant I was completely captivated by Rab. Since then, I've been excited by their new releases every season (although I'm frustrated that the items I'm looking for are not coming to Japan).

Over the past few years, Rab has been expanding to new activities such as trail running and fast packing, as well as new genres of products such as backpacks and sleeping pads. What's more, all of these have amazing quality that overturns conventional wisdom. The momentum doesn't know it's halting.

This is a brand that is truly popular these days, and has been setting high ideals since its founding, and has continued to produce high quality output that meets these high demands, and this time we would like to explore the secrets of what is amazing and how these products are born.

New items for 2023 Fall/Winter are on sale

The people who will be talking to Mr. Ishikawa and Mr. Yamazaki from LandR Co., Ltd., a Japanese agent.

As usual, in the first half, there will be a talk show between the two of them and a relaxed chatting free time, but this time we will also be selling Rab items that LandR handles, mainly new releases from this season. Please wait a little longer as we have decided on the specific details.

This time we will be streaming live online again
