New for 2017 is Shimano’s Explorer Collection. These are pieces that are designed for the tour/commuter, but hey, your style is your style. Wear it where you want to. My favorite from this collection is the Tokyo urban daypack available in a large 23L size, and the new smaller 17L is great for cruising around for a day.
Shimano Tokyo 17L and 23L Daypacks
- Padded Laptop Pocket, Document Organizers, and a Grid of Accessory-Storage Pockets
- Complete with Hi-Viz Rain Cover and Water-Resistant Base
- Discrete Reflectivity
- Retention Straps for Helmets or Locks
- Easyclose Buckle with Rolling Closure up Top
Here is what some of the Explorer apparel looks like. Items are made from moisture-wicking and quick-dry fabric with a Silvadur anti-bacterial treatment. Discrete Reflectivity highlights are added for visibility. Many Transit garments also feature UPF+ and UV protection for protection out in the elements.
Shimano’s Explorer collection will be available around February to March. More details at www.shimano.com.
