(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director and President: Hiroaki Morishita), a bag manufacturer, will launch the 'Gadgetable Air V' from its bag & luggage brand 'ace.' starting Saturday, April 25, 2026. This business backpack, designed to cope with extreme heat and guerrilla rainstorms, is a new model in the 'Gadgetable' series, which has sold a cumulative total of 550,000 units (as of the end of March 2026). It will be rolled out sequentially at directly managed stores, the online store, and major department and specialty stores nationwide. [Development Background] In recent years, prolonged summers, extreme heat, and guerrilla rainstorms have made sweaty backs and suddenly wet belongings significant challenges for backpack commuters. To address these issues, the 'Gadgetable Air V' enhances breathability and water resistance while maintaining the features of the 'Gadgetable' series, which has garnered support for its convenience and storage capacity. The back panel uses 'AQ Front', a highly breathable 3D fabric, and the shoulder straps use mesh materials, creating a design that easily releases heat and moisture. Furthermore, the main body uses coated nylon, and the openings use coated zippers, making it considerate of heat and sudden rain. In addition, the ergonomically based 'Universal Harness™' distributes the load to achieve a comfortable carrying experience. A three-dimensional structured material containing many air layers. It excels in breathability and lightness, easily releases air and moisture, and features the ability to disperse body pressure. [Feature Introduction] Breathable design reduces stuffiness, 25% improved heat dissipation We adopted the 3D fabric 'AQ Front' on the back and mesh material on the shoulder harness. It easily releases heat and moisture, and compared to the conventional model 'Gadgetable R', the average heat dissipation from the back 15-30 minutes after wearing has improved by 25%. Water-resistant specifications protect belongings from sudden rain Coated nylon for the main body and coated zippers for the openings have been adopted to enhance water resistance. It takes into consideration the wetting of belongings due to sudden rain such as guerrilla rainstorms.
