二、ビジネス向けリュックサック選びの6つポイント

To find your ideal business backpack, you need to look beyond the specs and determine the quality of its functionality based on the actual usage scenario. Here are six criteria recommended by professionals:

・PC・ガジェット保護：16インチ対応と独立ポケット

As hybrid work has become commonplace, there are more opportunities to carry around large, high-performance laptops.

  • Separate PC storage <br>A dedicated pocket that doesn't interfere with other luggage and allows for quick access is essential. If it can accommodate up to 16 inches, you can rest assured that you'll be able to upgrade in the future.
  • Shock-absorbing cushion <br>Make sure there is cushioning all the way to the bottom. This will protect precision equipment from impacts when placed on the floor.

・撥水・耐摩耗性：急な雨と毎日の酷使に耐える素材

Commuting and business trips are not affected by the weather.

  • High-density nylon/polyester: The water-repellent material used in the New Trip not only repels rain but is also stain-resistant.
  • Waterproof zipper: Prevents water from seeping in through gaps and minimizes damage to electronic devices.

・キャリーオン機能：スーツケースと一体化する背面ベルト

For business people who travel frequently, there is no feature more important than this.

  • Setup structure: By passing the belt on the back of the backpack through the handle of the suitcase, it prevents slipping or tipping over while in transit.

四、リュックサックを長持ちさせるメンテナンス術

Because these tools are used at the forefront of business, it is important to maintain their cleanliness and functionality. A little care can dramatically extend the life of your product.

1. 撥水性能を維持するための「簡単ケア」

New Trip backpacks are water-repellent, but their performance will decrease if they are left wet in the rain.

  • Wipe it off immediately if it gets wet: After getting wet in the rain, gently wipe it off with a dry cloth. This will prevent water stains and mildew from forming.
  • Thoroughly air-dry in the shade: Direct sunlight can cause discoloration and deterioration of the fabric. Always air-dry in a well-ventilated place in the shade.
  • Using water-repellent spray: Applying a commercially available water-repellent spray lightly once every six months will maintain water-repellent properties like new.

2. 型崩れを防ぐ、正しいパッキングと保管方法

In a business setting, you definitely want to avoid carrying a worn-out backpack.

  • Place heavy items on your back: By placing heavy items such as a laptop or thick documents on your back, the center of gravity of the bag will be more stable, preventing it from losing its shape.
  • Be careful not to overstuff: Even with expandable models like the 2201, forcing it to the point where the zipper won't close puts a strain on the stitching and zipper.
  • Empty the contents before storing: If you will not be using the product for a long period of time, empty the contents and store it flat (or upright) without hanging it. Lightly stuffing it with newspaper or cushioning material will help it maintain its shape.

3. ファスナーの動きをスムーズに保つコツ

Zippers, which are opened and closed many times every day, are the most heavily used part of a backpack.

  • Do not pull forcefully: If the fabric gets caught, do not pull forcefully; instead, slowly move it in the opposite direction.
  • Regular cleaning: Dust buildup in the zipper grooves can make them difficult to move. Simply brushing them gently with an old toothbrush will keep them opening and closing smoothly.
