Outdoor Products is not well-known in China, but it is well-known in the United States. It repurposed military surplus items into products such as camping tents and backpacks, and in the '60s established the first department store on the West Coast of the United States to sell military surplus items and camping products. In 2000, Japan's top idol Takuya Kimura carried an Outdoor Products light blue backpack in the Japanese drama "Life is Beautiful", which quickly sparked a fashion craze in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, and became one of the most sought after North American outdoor brands in Asia.
When it comes to backpacks, the common Outdoor Products trademark is the letter O with an eagle logo inside. In fact, there is not only one Outdoor Products trademark, but the three right-pointing arrow logos seen in retailers such as Wal-Mart, eBasg, and REI in the United States give the product a stronger outdoor atmosphere. In 2012, ITOCHU Corporation, one of Japan's general trading companies, acquired the trademark rights to use the U.S.-based Outdoor Products brand in 13 regions in Asia.
Durable and well-designed, the Outdoor Products backpack is made in fabrics and shapes that are very similar to Eastpak's Padded Pak'r, and the standard model, the Basic Daypack 462, is an evolution of the original classic 452. This backpack is made from Cordura fabric, which is highly resistant to wear and tear, while also being able to withstand rain to a certain extent. The weight of the bag is about 400g, which is at the medium to light level among many casual backpacks, and the shoulder strap is made of polyurethane material, with a thickness of about 1.5cm, and excellent elasticity, so it has cushioning performance, even if you use it for a long time, you don't have to worry about shoulder fatigue. A total of 5 compartments inside and outside make the most of the entire backpack space, making it easy to organize and store all kinds of items.
Compared to the colorful Eastpak and JanSport, or the sleek and lively arctic fox, Outdoor Products is more understated when it comes to backpack styles. The rounded style is classic and traditional, and the 10 colors are not rich, but they are versatile enough. The Daypack 4052 retains the same classic 452 design, but uses suede material at the bottom, which is more unique than the traditional version of the design that collides with the color of the main body of the bag.
In terms of price, Outdoor Products backpacks are generally around 450 yuan, and the price advantage is not obvious, but for those who pursue practical functions, outdoor brands are still a reliable choice. Unfortunately, Outdoor Products has not yet established a presence in Chinese mainland, and the nearest offline retailer is in Hong Kong, where consumers interested in purchasing can shop overseas or find reliable purchasing agents.
