Backpack is one of the essential piece of equipment that has become the favorite of travelers whether it’s a sleepover, an out of town weekend, a hiking or mountaineering adventure, or a journey thousands of miles across the sea.
But with all of the choices and brands out there, you have to be able to choose the one that best suits even your everyday adventures.
“What is the first thing that gets ruined or damaged on your Backpack?” Eros Enriquez, Asst. Marketing Manager of United Limsum International Trading, Inc asked bloggers and members of IGERSManila at the first Outdoor INSTAmeet event held Saturday at Lime 88, Mandaluyong City.
“Zippers.”
“How many times do you open your bag in a day? For those passing by malls or riding the MRT/LRT, that could mean a lot of opening and closing every single day. Outdoor Products only use genuine YKK (Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushiki Kaisha) Zippers one of the most trusted and durable zippers used by manufacturers in the world.
The next thing, Eros Enriquez said, that usually gets damaged in our bags are the straps. “Outdoor Products uses Seam Locked Reinforcement–Reinforced Straps through high quality seaming for durability.”
And lastly to make sure that everything inside your bag stays safe, Outdoor Products are made using Cordura and Kodra– materials known for their toughness.
“Cordura and Kodra are very abrasion resistant and have a high tear strength. These are the fabrics used for army fatigues and backpacks, extreme games apparel, and heavy load works. It is also more lightweight as compared to canvas materials, and polyurethane coated Kodra and Cordura are even considered waterproof.”
To demonstrate just how tough their bags are, the brand has been holding the Outdoor Products Journey – Rip-off Challenge Road Show. And so far, after 10 SM Malls and 20 University/Colleges, no one has been successful in tearing their bag apart.
And just to show how confident its distributors are about the brand it is even offering a Lifetime Guarantee on their bags.
“We want you to get to your destination with comfort and ease, from point A to point B, get your job done in school or at work and help you create great memories in your travels with your OUTDOOR PRODUCTS bags.”
