The forces of the Canadian retail brand and Japanese luggage experts result in a capsule that is highly durable and stylistically conscious. The range of goods is constructed from CORDURA X-PAC materials to deliver the sturdiness and features a plethora of storage options. The utility accessories are highly functional, with the inclusion of the Utility Day Pack, the Waist Bag, and the Utility Helmet Bag. The set delivers sub-compartments as well as dividers to place within the pockets for better organization. Rounding out the collection is the Utility Zip Pouch, which is compatible with the Day Pack and Waist Pack held by a lobster clip.
