AND WANDER
Founded in 2011 by two designers who wanted to enjoy fashion in the mountains and nature as they would in the city. AND WANDER offers items that combine a sense of mode with practical functionality as outdoor wear.
Environmentally Friendly Sustainable Materials
The fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester ECOPAK fabric. It features a C-zero water-repellent finish without the use of substances harmful to the environment or health, providing both a waterproof rating of 20,000mm and high durability with minimal environmental impact. The grid-like reinforcement in the middle layer adds durability and visual appeal.
Not only the material but also the zipper features a water-resistant stopper zipper. The zipper pull is designed with a large loop for easy gripping even with gloves.
The boldly deployed diagonal zipper serves as a design accent. It allows for easy access to items without disturbing the packing inside. Moreover, it features a double zipper design, allowing access from both the top and bottom, enabling easy retrieval of items stored at the bottom.
The main compartment has ample space, with large gussets allowing for storage of many items. When carrying fewer items, it can be worn smartly by tightening the side straps.
Additionally, the side straps, when combined with a bottle holder, effectively store outdoor tools.
Hiking poles can be securely attached to the front loops. Moreover, since only the top is equipped with Velcro, adjustment according to the user's poles is possible. This allows for carrying poles in a stable position.
Under the top rain cover is the main opening. It features a drawstring design that allows for adjustment according to the amount and shape of the items.
When the rain cover is attached to the upper buckle on the back, it can be placed around the chest of the wearer, serving as a case for storing maps or small items. When walking, securing the lower part with an accessory carabiner prevents it from flapping. This unique and innovative idea aims to maintain lightweight while keeping only what is truly necessary and useful.
The back features soft but firm padding. By covering the surface with mesh fabric, ventilation is improved, enhancing comfort. Not only the surface mesh but also the shape of the pads is carefully designed, adopting an H-shaped design that reduces the contact area with the back, allowing air to flow more easily, resulting in less sweating and greater comfort, even on hot days.
The shoulder straps, with gentle curves, fit snugly against the body without feeling tight across the shoulders, chest, or sides. The padding inside is soft and flexible, fitting smoothly to the body's contours. Combined with mesh material, it remains comfortable and breathable, preventing sweating.
A small pouch attached to the body with an accessory carabiner is included. It's just the right size for storing a rubber cover to protect the tip of hiking poles when carrying them. Depending on your needs, it can also be used to store rain gear when wearing it, keys, emergency change, and other useful items.
As an extension, an expansion sack (sold separately) can be attached to the top. It's a convenient item for when you don't want to invest in backpacks of different capacities but need a little extra space.
