Request before announcement: Please cooperate to avoid confusion on the day
Many participants are expected immediately after the event starts (12:00 noon) on the day of the event. However, as the venue is a general rental space, any behavior that may cause a nuisance to the neighbors must be avoided at all costs
Therefore, in order to ensure that the event runs smoothly and without any disruption, and to minimize the burden on everyone, we will be establishing the following rules regarding entry on the day. We ask for your understanding and cooperation so that all participants can enjoy the event safely and with peace of mind until the very end
Admission on the day
- Please refrain from any behavior that may cause inconvenience to the local neighborhood such as near the venue to wait for your turn or lingering in front of or near the venue
- For the first hour after the event starts (12:00-13:00), priority will be given to members. If you want to get in as early as possible, Outdoor Gearzine's OFUSE Standard Membership in advance (even if that's not your goal, we're always happy to welcome members who support Outdoor Gearzine!). Even if priority is given to members, non-members can also enter if there is room in the venue. Please check at the entrance to the venue to see if this is possible (we will be announcing the situation on X and other platforms on the day).
- If the number of visitors exceeds the limit, we may be forced to restrict entry . In that case, we will inform you of the time when the entry restrictions will be lifted, and we ask that you please wait until then.
- Also, in the unlikely event that the number of people applying for the lottery sales exceeds the capacity of the venue, the venue will be overwhelmed when the winners are announced, so we are considering switching to notifying the winners by email. Therefore, we may ask you to provide an email address where we can contact you when you register for the lottery on the day, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation in this case
When we announced the items for sale on the member page yesterday, we received a great deal of response, and as we anticipated confusion on the day, we were forced to quickly make these rules. It may go ahead as normal without any confusion, or it may turn out to be even more crowded than we expected. To be honest, as an organizer, I'm nervous. In the unlikely event that the situation changes further, we may need to ask for your cooperation again, but we will respond flexibly to avoid confusion and disappointment as much as possible, including on the day itself, so we need your cooperation. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
Additional information ①: Pop-up stores for four new brands have been announced!
At the event, we are planning a flea market by Outdoor Gearzine and our readers, but we have also decided to add a garage brand to the event!
Participating brand ① arata
"arata" will be holding the talk event, will also be setting up a pop-up shop on the day!
【arata】
arata is an outdoor brand originating from Japan. We provide valuable products and services by always looking at new perspectives and making continuous improvements. The greatest feature of the backbone that produces arata's products is our company's "technical capabilities." Our designers have enjoyed manufacturing since their student days, and have been involved in the design of a wide variety of products, including automobiles, home appliances, industrial machinery, robots, formula cars, inspection equipment, and medical equipment
Arata combines these technical capabilities with its extensive outdoor experience to create outdoor products from an engineer's perspective that the company itself would actually want to use and that people would want to recommend to their friends
Brand 2: Glider
"glider," applied after seeing the announcement for this event . They are a garage brand that creates simple, lightweight, and easy-to-use mountaineering equipment that people would want to use themselves! They also had a stall at the "GEARLOOP MARKET" held recently in Yoyogi Park, and apparently all their products were sold out. This is your chance to find new items that you don't often get to try out!
[glider]
This is a garage brand that is dedicated to creating products that the company would want to use in the mountains
Not only is it lightweight, but it is also strong thanks to the special stitching and construction, so you can use it without hesitation for everything from everyday use to strenuous mountain climbing
Participating brand 3: Baa Rram Ewe
Baa Rram Ewe , an outdoor apparel brand for women that is also a reader of Outdoor Gearzine and has participated in our offline events many times .
The event looks set to be one that female enthusiasts and readers will also enjoy!
[Baa Rram Ewe]
A mountaineering wear brand with the concept of "creating clothes that allow women to be themselves, whether in the mountains or in the city."
This is a brand launched in 2023 by a woman who loves mountains!
We offer clothing with a stylish design that is functional enough for use in the mountains but can also be worn in the city
This time, we plan to sell original clothing as well as [SN] (Supernatural) collaboration products
In addition to our e-commerce site, we also have a store in Nerima
Keyaki no Oto Terrace, 5-11-18 Sakuradai, Nerima-ku, Tokyo 176-0002
Participating brand 4: SO FAR SO GOOD
Another applicant this time was "SO FAR SO GOOD," a brand that designs and produces handmade gear based on their own experiences. The gear is available online, as well as at six stores nationwide, including Hikers Depot and GRiPS!
[SO FAR SO GOOD]
A Japanese garage brand that started in 2018. The female owner handles everything from design to production, and the handmade gear is created from a female perspective based on her own experiences of mountain climbing and trail running
On the day, we plan to exhibit mainly our popular product "Waltz DX", including samples for photography, field-tested samples, and prototype samples
This is a great opportunity to get inspired and have fun by interacting with readers and writers who don't usually get to meet, and with fellow outdoor enthusiasts from different manufacturers! Come with your friends and family and create some great memories at the final Outdoor Gearzine 10th anniversary event!
Additional information ②: Applications to open a flea market stall have closed due to popular demand
Thank you very much for your many applications to participate!
Thanks to everyone who applied for our flea market event, which readers are welcome to participate in, we have received many applications, and we are beginning to worry that if the number of applications increases any further, we will no longer be able to accommodate the capacity of the venue. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we will now close applications for flea market stalls. Thank you for your understanding
Additional information ③: Listed items and estimated sales prices
With just two weeks to go until the auction, we've compiled a list of the items that will be on sale on the day and their estimated selling prices! Please see the Google spreadsheet below
*Please note that for items marked with a "★" in the list, we have determined that there may be an overwhelming number of applicants, so we will be selling them by lottery!
View all items for sale at the flea market
There are so many items planned for release that I can't list them all here haha. I'd say it's roughly 70% of what's planned for release
But the fun of a flea market "what kind of bargains you'll find on the day ." Please relax, and even if an item isn't listed here, it may be added on the day, so please enjoy the excitement!
However, on the other hand, there may be some items written here that cannot be listed due to an unexpected accident (although we hope this will not happen), so please be aware of this
