SWIFT CAMPOUT
Camp touring is all about riding through the same scenery, keeping an unconscious, steady pace while sharing lively conversations with friends.
The season has arrived again for SWIFT CAMPOUT—an event that transcends oceans and borders, encouraging you to use the tools of modern civilization to share that feeling simultaneously across the globe, all while riding a bicycle, which still retains a somewhat analog charm.
SWIFT CAMPOUT is held every year on the Summer Solstice, the day with the longest daylight hours of the year, and this year it is scheduled for Saturday, June 22nd, and Sunday, June 23rd.
The heart of this event is SWIFT INDUSTRIES, a bag brand based in Seattle, Washington, USA.
SWIFT INDUSTRIES
The bags have been crafted since 2008 by the husband-and-wife team, Martina and Jason, who are captivated by camp touring.
They aren't just about functionality; they feature thoughtful details designed with the user in mind and vibrant colorways that catch your eye the moment you see them.
SWIFT is the name of a fox that lives in America, and it’s also a word that means "fast" (maybe you turn into a fox when the sunset is scorching after a climb, or when the last order at the cafe you've been aiming for is approaching...?).
However, the bike touring they love is all about not rushing, not panicking, and enjoying "saddle talk" in nature, which is another endearing point of that contrast.
Actually, Swift Industries and our own SIMWORKS USA are great friends, and they even held a pop-up in Swift's hometown of Seattle last weekend!
Many people who use their items also show interest in SimWorks items, which really shows how much everyone enjoys cycling in their daily lives! Everyone is just wonderful!
Well, it's our turn next, so we are starting a pop-up in Nagoya from this weekend just in time for the SWIFT CAMPOUT!
SWIFT INDUSTRIES / POP UP
Dates: June 14th (Fri) – June 23rd (Sun)
At Circles 1F Concept
We will be holding an exhibition and order event focusing on SWIFT INDUSTRIES classic items, including handlebar bags, pannier bags, and large seat bags.
This is your chance to see and feel the texture of the fabric and the sizing in person.
They pair perfectly with racks that have wide platforms, like the Obento Rack by SimWorks by Nitto or PELAGO's Commuter Front Rack.
If you already have them installed, come check out the sizing and color fitting; if you don't, please take this opportunity to choose a rack as well.
We also have bags from camp touring staples like PORCELAIN ROCKET and OUTER SHELL ADVENTURE, so it's also fun to compare them in person!
