The RawLow Mountain Works “TABITIBI TOTE” is rumored to sell out immediately every time it’s released.
We have received many inquiries, and at long last, it has arrived at Circles in all colors.
The photo at the beginning shows the new Black colorway using X-PAC material.
This multi-layered fabric features high-strength polyester laid out in an X-pattern, bonded to a polyester fabric, providing high water resistance and tear strength while also contributing to weight reduction.
The origin of the name “TABITIBI TOTE” lies in the gimmick that allows you to expand the bottom gusset (as well as the handles).
In the previous photo, it’s primarily used as a “hiker sacoche,” but by expanding the gusset, the capacity increases from 1L to 3~4L! Additionally, you can pull up the Dyneema top gusset to increase the capacity even further.
In other words, it can also be used as a handy “tote bag.” It can instantly expand from a size that fits a map, smartphone, and wallet into a bag that can hold a towel, snacks, and a compact digital camera. It’s perfect for rides, as well as an active bag for hikes you can drive to (like Mt. Ibuki—you can hike up to the 9th station)!
Packed with gimmicks born from the ideas of the RawLow duo, who know everything there is to know about mountain play, this item not only makes you want to use it, but is also shrewdly designed with color variations that appeal to both men and women. There is definitely a solid reason for its popularity.
Also, we have received the Camera Kit at the same time. This is great news for those looking for a camera bag for their DSLR, mirrorless camera, or slightly larger compact digital camera! (By the way, FUJIFILM users are rapidly increasing in the Circles group. The Nikon crowd is shrinking...)
By attaching the perfectly fitted inner pad inside the TABITIBI TOTE, you can protect your camera from impact.
Since the default strap of the TABITIBI TOTE is thin and would dig into your shoulder when carrying a heavy camera, a wide strap is included.
The pouch that holds the pad can also be used as a bag-in-bag. Of course, the TABITIBI TOTE converted into a camera bag can also be used as a bag-in-camera-bag by removing the strap. It’s an excellent item that pulls double—no, triple or quadruple—duty.
For a mirrorless camera, it generally fits unless you have a huge lens attached. It looks like this with Taka-san’s X-Pro2. By the way, my D750 is just about as big as it can handle with a prime lens attached. The size is approximately W27cm x H19cm. Please contact us if you have any questions.
*Due to high demand, the Camera Kit sold out while we were preparing this blog post.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please wait for the restock scheduled for the end of September.
If you prefer a simpler sacoche, check out the Fairweather / Zip Sacoche or the Strawfoot / Simple Musette!
