■ The value of 'not getting lost' in the dark
Nighttime outdoors or power outages: 'I don't know where it is', 'I can't find it immediately.'
To solve such stress, the 'glowing carabiner' is a new option.
Because this product stores light and emits it in the dark, it ensures visibility without the need for a power source.
・Camping
・Mountain climbing
・Disaster prevention stockpiling
・Daily key management
It reduces 'searching time' in all scenarios.
■ Evolutionary points this time
A 30% size increase dramatically improves 'usability'
By making it about 30% larger than the conventional model:

・Smooth attachment and detachment to luggage
・Further improved visibility
It has evolved into a product that is 'not only visible but also easy to use'.
