Mission Workshop "ACRE"

The rain from last night cleared up by early afternoon today, and Nagoya is now enjoying beautiful weather. It looks like our staff will be able to enjoy their rides on our day off tomorrow.
Summer is the season for play. Today, I'd like to introduce an item that will further tickle your "playful spirit."
"ACRE," a brand newly launched by Mission Workshop last year.
Unlike Mission Workshop with its street vibe, ACRE features a collection designed with mountain biking in mind. I highly recommend the backpacks from ACRE. Since they are geared toward MTB, the sizes are a bit on the smaller side. The sizes we carry in the shop are compact, with the GRAY and NAVY models at 10 liters, and the BLACK model at 14 liters. However, despite their small size, they are remarkably well-crafted.First, the main pocket features a roll-top design. It’s a design reminiscent of Mission Workshop. Personally, I find keeping it rolled up convenient and recommend it as long as it isn't raining.The inner pocket along the back can store a hydration pack. It’s a necessity for mid-summer trail rides.The back panel uses a nylon mesh material called "Ariaprene." It has excellent cushioning, providing a sense of comfort that’s hard to describe while wearing it.This is the waist section. There are four possible attachment points for the shoulder and waist belts. You can adjust it to fit your own body type perfectly.With the four straps, you can also attach a helmet. Helmets are already a nuisance when you aren't wearing them, and carrying around a bulky, heavy-duty MTB helmet is nothing but stressful, isn't it?
This is also highly recommended when traveling by train after a long ride.
And it even comes with a very welcome tool roll. This is also incredibly convenient. You can neatly store your repair kits and energy bars in it.Keep an eye on the future of "ACRE." Please come by the store and try them out!
