RawLow Mountain Works is a mountain gear brand started by two designers who are both hikers and cyclists, with the concept of "for all hikers who love the mountains and nature." Their product lineup is infused with a "create only what we want to create" spirit, and every item carries their unique message.
While we know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next shipment of the Nuts Pack we introduced previously—which sold out in an instant—we are excited to announce that their flagship models, the TABITIBI TOTE and the Bike’n Hike Bag, have been added to the lineup in new X-Pac versions!
X-Pac is a material that is becoming a staple in outdoor gear, known for being lightweight, waterproof, and highly tear-resistant. While X-Pac comes in various thicknesses, RawLow Mountain Works uses the 210-denier VX21 for the best balance. As VX21 is the same material used for the base of the Antelope, Bambi, and Bike’n Hike Bag due to its strength and water resistance, it is perfect for a wide range of activities.

The TABITIBI TOTE, a tote bag that doubles as a hiker's sacoche, is now available in an X-Pac model. As the name implies (a play on the Japanese words for "travel" and "little"), it transforms into a sacoche perfect for traveling. While it usually has a 2cm gusset, you can expand it to 14cm by releasing the Velcro. This turns it into a tote bag, changing its capacity from 1L to 3–5L, allowing you to handle sudden increases in gear.
The main compartment opening features a Dyneema fabric top gusset that closes with a water-resistant zipper. This accommodates increased volume and protects against sudden rain. Furthermore, by pushing the top gusset into the main compartment and placing a water bottle or canteen on top of it, you can prevent condensation from getting your gear wet.
Best of all, it features a clever design that allows it to function as a simple handlebar bag when using bungee cords or similar straps. It’s an item that performs great from daily use to various outdoor activities.

As the name suggests, the Bike’n Hike Bag is a saddlebag that seamlessly connects biking and hiking. With a capacity of 8–10L, it’s perfect for day trips or 2-day tours that don’t require a tent. It features a mechanism that allows you to carry it as a backpack when you get off the bike or take a train. The loop for a taillight and the bungee cords are woven with reflectors, ensuring excellent nighttime visibility. It even comes with a keychain inside the pocket. This is a highly recommended item for touring.
There is no doubt that every one of their products is highly refined, with simple designs packed with clever features and attention to detail. In addition to the new X-Pac lineup, we also have restocks of the classic colors, so please take this opportunity to come see them in person!
