雨のシーズンを楽しめる工夫を

台風、ものすごい雨の今日。

いきなりのこんなコースで、今年は波乱の幕開けになりましたね。
タイムリーに長距離移動をされている方はお気の毒に、、
事務所近所の川面も第一段階は突破してて軽くビビりました。

傘は一瞬でドリフばりにぶっ壊れるし。



こんな雨の日が来ると、梅雨入りを前にソワソワと雨用スニーカーをチェックしてしまいます。毎年おんなじルーティーン。
でも、なかなか良いのがないんですよね。
 GORE-TEX(ゴアテックス)仕様のエアフォース1とか、ALL STAR とか色々あるけど、あくまで雨の日にサクッと履けて外へ出るのが億劫にならなければいいので。
そして実際、僕は雨の中を長時間歩くということもないので。


冬は冬で、数回の雪や雪山へ行く機会のために同じようにソワソワとウィンターブーツをチェックするのですが。
最近はDESCENTEのこのタイプを履いててライトに調子良くて。

 

(1番のお気に入りはCHACOのRamble Puff Cinch)


その延長線でメーカーをチェックしたら、良さげなNEWが出ていたので早速ポチってみました。


コスパも良くてシンプルでいい感じ。
楽しみ!
雨シーズンにテストしてみたいと思います。


そして、、
FXPでも新しいハイテク素材をゲットしました。
生地表面の構造と織り方によって撥水・耐水する素材。

その発想はなんとミノから来ています。ミノムシのミノの構造です。
早速、夏の終わりにリリースする新作に採用しています。
雨を弾き、通気性に優れた新素材。

 

今日もテストしましたがバッチリです。


楽しみにしていてください。


It's absolutely pouring with the typhoon today. This year certainly started off with a bang on this unexpected course. My sympathy goes out to those who have to travel long distances at a time like this. Even the river near my office has reached the first stage of overflowing, and I was a little freaked out. Umbrellas break like they're from the comedy group, The Drifters, in just a moment.

Days like this make me restless as I eagerly check my rain sneakers in preparation for the upcoming rainy season. It's become a routine every year, but it's hard to find really good ones. There are many choices like GORE-TEX Air Force 1s and All Stars, but as long as they're easy to slip on and go outside without hesitation, that's all that matters. Besides, I don't typically walk for long periods of time in the rain anyway.

Similarly, in the winter, I get excited and check out winter boots in anticipation of the few times that I'll get to see snow or hit the snow mountains. Recently, I've been wearing this type of DESCENTE boots, which feel light and perform well. I checked out the maker and found a promising new release, so I ordered it right away. I'm really looking forward to it! It's simple, great and reasonably priced. I can't wait to try it out during the rainy season.

Oh, and speaking of new materials, we've also gotten a hold of some new high-tech material at FXP. It's made to be water-repellent and water-resistant by the structure and weaving of the fabric surface. Can you believe that the idea was inspired by the structure of the Japanese bagworm moth's cocoon? We've already adopted it for our new release which will come out at the end of the summer. It's a new material with both water-repellent properties and excellent breathability. I gave it a test run today, and it was perfect. Please look forward to it!
