TOPICS 10 Backpacks that can be used both in the city and outdoors are popular.

Bags are also necessary for camping and outdoor activities, which have been gaining momentum in recent years. Outdoor bags are required to be functional and able to withstand harsh environments, so they tend to be a bit over-specified for use in the city. On the other hand, there are many people who do not have the time to carry a bag specifically designed for outdoor use, which is usually used infrequently. This is why backpacks that can be used both in town and outdoors are so popular. Since work clothes are becoming more casual these days, this type of bag is likely to be in high demand in the future.

EVERGOODS' backpacks feature a quick-draw lid system that allows the top opening to be easily opened and closed for quick access to your belongings. The use of 220-denier HT nylon as the material has achieved lightweight and abrasion resistance. The comfort of carrying the bag has also been calculated by modifying the length of the fabric of the shoulder straps to fit the shoulders.
