Daddy Korean hiking bag
The backpack that is one of the necessary equipment for outdoor activities is the most frequently used outdoor equipment for outdoor enthusiasts. Almost every friend who regularly attends an event has more than 2 backpacks. In the current outdoor market, backpacks are the most versatile, targeted and functional products. In the place of origin, there are domestic and imported; the emphasis is on lightweighting, emphasizing strong and durable; there is a small capacity and large capacity on the volume; on the function there is mountaineering, hiking, ice climbing, Caverns, as well as cycling, and so on. Both cheap and expensive. In short, you can always find products in the market that meet your specific requirements.
Each backpack manufacturer has its own specialty, as far as foreign products are concerned. Some manufacturers are good at hiking backpacks, and some are good at mountaineering backpacks. The differences between manufacturers are different, and there are differences in the use of different areas. As a type of current domestic backpack product, I will talk about our neighbors - Korean brand mountaineering bags.
When it comes to South Korea, it is necessary to mention Korean outdoor sports. As a neighboring country with a lot of water, South Korea is one of the countries in the world where outdoor sports are carried out in a very wide range. With a small land area, more than 15 million of the 40 million people in the country are registered members of various outdoor groups. The mass base is quite strong. Many of the world's famous Asian mountaineers are from South Korea. Korea not only has a wide range of outdoor sports, but also has a huge market for outdoor products. It has a very comprehensive outdoor product design and production system. In our usual equipment, many are Korean blood, such as CERROTORRE, KOVEA, HBN, TREKSTA, BLACK YAK, KOLON, etc. Their products not only have different specialities, but also rely on the well-developed light industrial production base in South Korea, making their products an indispensable force in the world's outdoor product market.
Korean hiking backpacks have their own distinctive characteristics, and this feature is entirely determined by the characteristics of South Korean outdoor activities, in general, is to adapt to one-day hiking and low-altitude mountaineering backpack products. Therefore, we start with the origin of this feature. As our neighboring Korea has a small land area, it does not have geographical conditions for long-distance hiking. The intensity and distance of outdoor climbing and trekking are mostly one day. Therefore, small and medium-sized backpacks can fully satisfy such activities.
From the market point of view, Korean backpacks are only one of the many backpack products in the domestic outdoor market and are not the largest in terms of overall occupancy. I personally think that the price factor is one of the reasons restricting the promotion of Korean products. The positioning of Korean backpacks in the Chinese market should be between Chinese-made, Sino-foreign joint venture brands and European and American high-end brands. However, their product retail prices (especially small-capacity backpacks) do not reflect this well (this does not rule out the other factors of imported products). Relatively low price-to-performance ratios have caused a great deal of product sales. Second, the market awareness of Korean brands is relatively low. Due to the late entry into the Chinese market and the brand's influence in international shopping malls is relatively small. At present, domestic outdoor consumers (especially ordinary consumers) have a very limited understanding of the characteristics and brands of Korean backpack products, which also caused them to fluctuate when purchasing products. Of course, with the emphasis and development of Korean brands on the Chinese market, more and more Korean products will enter our outdoor life.
Based on my experience and understanding, Korean backpacks generally have the following characteristics:
First, quality backpack fabrics.
According to my understanding from South Korean outdoor manufacturers, the concept of shopping for Korean outdoor consumers when selecting backpacks is very different from Chinese outdoor consumers: Chinese consumers first consider whether the backpack's carrying system is comfortable when selecting backpacks. (This is to a large extent determined by the nature of our outdoor activities.) Korean consumers are more concerned with backpack fabric materials when choosing backpacks. This mainly refers to the fabric's color and strong wear-resistance. Degree of attention, and these two points are the main factors that they decided to buy backpacks. For this reason, I have deliberately collected the products and albums of Korean backpacks that are common in the country and found that the vast majority of them are used in very bright and eye-catching colors (as opposed to the exaggerated colors of European and American products, Korean-style colors). The choice is still relatively conservative). In keeping with the emphasis on color, South Korean consumers are equally conscious of the firmness of backpack fabrics. Therefore, Korean brand backpacks are mostly made of CORDURA brand fabrics or other wear-resistant materials (such as BLACK YAK's TRIPLE TEX), which is quite strong and wear-resistant. According to several Korean brand backpacks that I have used, there have been no cases of fabric damage. Of course, most of the wear-resistant materials are very heavy. The disadvantage of it is that it is easy to increase the weight of the backpack. In this respect, those mountaineers who emphasize lightweight backpacks have little room to choose from. Among the products I have seen, only BLACK YAK's VERTICAL and MAGIC fabrics have some lightweight backpack features. As a whole, Korean backpacks are keeping pace with international advanced technology in the selection of fabrics.
Second, pays great attention to the details of the backpack
Among the many backpack products that are listed in the country, the performance of Korean backpacks in details is very prominent. Their basic performance in the same product, others do not have the details I have, the same details I am more comprehensive and complex above. And it chooses the accessories used in the details as much as possible to use the brand products in the industry, can fully guarantee the backpack a higher overall quality level. In general, Korean backpacks tend to be designed for hiking and low-altitude mountaineering, and they pay special attention to the needs of users in details. The details that can be enriched will certainly not make do, and it can even be said to be utterly useless. Therefore, their backpacks are very complex in appearance, with clasps, belts, and bags. For example, the South Korean backpack has a full range of accessories, and various buckles are cleverly configured on the basic bag where the strapping can be carried. On the belt, the Korean backpack is designed with a small storage bag. This kind of configuration can be seen on backpacks of various capacities. In Europe and the United States, only small backpacks have this type of arrangement; in the case of shoulder straps, Korean backpacks have a fixed wristband design. Configured in other backpack products are mostly optional items. Summarizing the details, on the one hand, the Korean backpack is considered very meticulous and easy to use. It is very suitable for a day of simple mountain climbing activities and friends who participate in hiking camping. On the other hand, it revealed that it paid too much attention to detail and lost weight, but it did not reflect the development trend of lightweight equipment as a whole.
Third, the burden is mostly back ventilation system
Korean backpacks are affected by the characteristics of South Korea's outdoor activities (mainly one-day activities), and its main sales products are mostly small and medium-sized backpack products. The small-capacity backpack is basically the flagship product of each brand. Due to the limitation of volume, small-capacity backpacks have very limited conditions for carrying articles. Therefore, most of the small-capacity backpacks do not provide burden reduction functions on their shoulders, but emphasize the regulation of the heat emitted by the user's back during exercise. For the carrying system of small-capacity backpacks, two measures are mainly used to achieve this function: First, the use of sweat-absorbent, breathable, abrasion-resistant mesh fabrics and elastic sponge materials to make back-feeds and fillers. It is already the consensus of all backpackers. Second, ergonomically designed carrying system to ease the human body heat. In simple terms, it is based on the shape of the human back, forming a certain space between the backpack and the human body, relying on the principle of air flow to take away the heat generated by the human body in order to achieve the purpose of comfortable and dry human back. This kind of system is roughly divided into two main forms: 1. Mesh ventilation structure (multiple use of synthetic metal material for stent); 2. Breathable structure (used for wicking foam material). Judging from the current backpack products, each backpack brand is basically based on these two points to design a patent carrying system with its own characteristics. For Korean products, the AIR, AIR VENTILATED and BLACK YAK CERROTORRE ACS, ARS, and BCS piggy back systems are typical examples of these two types of piggyback systems.
Based on the above points, it can be seen that relying on advanced textile level and light industry foundation. Korean backpacks are used from work to materials. All of them are of a very professional level and are basically high-end products in the current domestic backpacking market (the same is true for price positioning). At the same time, the style of Korean backpacks is also very numerous, especially for most small and medium backpack products. They have a vague definition of outdoor products and professional outdoor products. They can both outdoor adventures and let you relax in the city, relatively suitable for the current Chinese outdoor population habits. Of course, in terms of carrying system and design innovation, the performance of Korean backpack brands can be uneven and different. Judging from the current domestic market, the Korean backpack brands are mainly CERROTOREE, BLACK YAK, and KOLON brands. Among them, the latter two are large brands in Korea. What is done is a full range of products. Backpacks are just one of its many products. Moreover, it is not a strong product in their respective products. Therefore, in the backpack technology, it is relatively conservative. The traditional route is taken. There is nothing surprisingly innovative and avant-garde design on the whole. The products are also mostly small and medium-sized backpacks. It is a typical example of a Korean style backpack.
Here, I need special mention is another special representative of Korean backpack - CERROTOREE. CERROTOREE alone is not my preference for it, it is because it stands out in Korean backpack products. CERROTOREE, one of the hottest brands in the domestic backpacking market, can be said to be an alternative representative of Korean backpacking brands. Compared with traditional Korean backpacks, the craftsmanship and details of the craftsmanship used in the craft alone are even worse than those of traditional backpack manufacturers in Europe and America.
CERROTOREE is also a very large-scale outdoor manufacturer in Korea. I once asked the Korean friends around. They are also very sure of this brand. CERROTOREE's growth experience is similar to the development of most Korean brands, but also started from making OEM products for other European and American brands. From this point of view, it draws on the good ideas of other brands. A lot of enthusiasts who have played equipment have had this consensus: That is, many of the details of CERROTOREE design give people a feeling of déjà vu. From my personal point of view, this is not unrelated to its production background for European and American backpacking product OEMs. CERROTOREE is a professional backpack manufacturer and has its own factory both in Korea and abroad. This is totally different from BLACK YAK and KOLON's OEM production methods. Its backpack product line is very full, all kinds of capacity and use of backpacks are involved. Moreover, there are various types of large-capacity backpacks, unlike other Korean brands that only focus on the production of medium- and small-capacity products. In terms of design style, the traditional style of Korean backpacks has completely disappeared, and the traces of its use outdoors in South Korea have been greatly diminished. Closer to international mainstream products.
The Korean backpacks that I personally use the most are mainly DELTA65, SANTIS32 and BLACK YAK's MOTIVE65 and CHIMNEY #2 of CERROTOREE. They basically represent the two kinds of brand size of the two types of backpacks, but also the representative product of their respective brands carry the system. On the whole, they reflect the consistent characteristics of Korean backpacks in details and fabrics. Among them, CERROTOREE backpack is very comprehensive in adaptability, suitable for all types of outdoor activities, DELTA65 volume is very large, from the use of the situation, obviously larger than other brands of the same volume products, more loaded items. Its piggy back system is relatively new, because I use a limited time, not much to comment here; SANTIS32 workmanship is also very good, carrying the system AIR VENTILATED is a standard mesh ventilation structure (I prefer this type of structure of small Backpack). The ventilation effect during exercise is very good. The disadvantage is that the weight is slightly larger, but this problem can be ignored for small backpacks. BLACK YAK's MOTIVE65 is a representative of its large-capacity backpack product. Its DOUBLE WEDGE SYSTEM is developed on the basis of the traditional aluminum strips. The disadvantage is that the range of length adjustment is limited, and it is more suitable for use in long-distance hiking activities. CHIMNEY #2 is an earlier product of BLACK YAK. Its back is a typical breathable structure, there will be a significant sultry feeling on the back during high-volume exercise. This bag looks beautiful, the outer shrink strap can be bundled with equipment such as a helmet. Outdoors, the city is suitable for use.
In summary, the overall Korean backpack product has a considerable level. The stylish appearance and excellent workmanship are not only suitable for use in daily life, but also more suitable for outdoor activities that are mainly leisure activities. Although there is a certain gap between Korean products and international high-end brand backpacks in product research and development. However, there are still many places where they can learn from Chinese outdoor product merchants. We hope that through this introduction, we can have a general understanding of Korean backpack products, and we can choose the most suitable products for our backpacks. The above views are all personal opinions. We welcome everyone to communicate with each other.
