■ Development Background: Celebrating 50 Years. Thorough Review and Significant Strengthening of PB Strategy in Response to Evolving Needs.

In recent years, interest in 'rest' and 'recovery' has grown, driven by increasing health consciousness and the expansion of self-care demand. Furthermore, due to rising prices and lifestyle changes, there's a growing demand for products that are more accessible and easier to use in daily life. In response, Himalaya has thoroughly reviewed its PB products with the theme of making sports functions more accessible and easier to incorporate into daily life, pursuing the best balance of functionality and price.

Himalaya's original brands, 'VISION QUEST' and '&life,' have been well-received for their products that combine functionality with affordable price points. The 'VISION QUEST Lightweight Multi-Pocket Pants' released this year sold out its initial stock at the merchandise booth of the 'Takahashi Naoko Cup Gifu Seiryu Half Marathon 2026.' These pants have gained support from many runners as a product that is easy to incorporate into everyday running while offering ample storage and comfortable wear.

Additionally, sales are growing for 'sports function products that comfortably support daily life,' such as 'VISION QUEST' functional shoes, hands-free shoes that can be put on without using hands, and '&life' UV-protection parkas.

Against this backdrop, Himalaya developed this series with the desire to support not only 'when exercising' but also 'during rest time.' Analyzing customer needs and usage scenarios identified from the market, the aim is to offer a lineup that can be chosen according to specific concerns.

Furthermore, with the idea of making 'self-care more accessible,' the general medical device series has been priced at ¥2,990 (tax included), making it easy to incorporate into daily life.
