Mountain People's Super Water-Repellent Furoshiki

Mountain People's Super Water-Repellent Furoshiki | A versatile cloth for mountain climbers that can serve multiple purposes

ltm has released a new item that can be relied on for mountain climbing and long trails: the "Mountain People's Super Water-Repellent Furoshiki."
This furoshiki is not just any cloth. It is a lightweight, highly functional "cloth tool" that can be used for many purposes.

The design is based on a previous creation, "Thank you to those who work in the mountains."

We have adjusted the size and specifications to incorporate designs that express gratitude to those who work in the mountains every day, such as mountain hut staff, trail maintenance workers, forestry workers, and rescue workers, into furoshiki.

The technology used is Asakura Senpu Co., Ltd.'s ultra-water-repellent technology.
This technology makes the fabric so water-repellent that water just rolls off like beads. It can withstand over 50 washes and still maintains its breathability. It's also resistant to getting wet and sweaty, yet lightweight. These features further increase the value of each piece of fabric when hiking or on long trails.

This furoshiki can be used in a wide variety of ways.

・As a backpack cover
If you have a 40L backpack, you can tie the four corners of the cloth to the handles to provide a secure cover.
Especially recently, with the rise of UL thinking, many people are managing the contents in waterproof stuff sacks, so we recommend using this furoshiki to protect only the outside of the backpack so that the backpack itself does not get wet and become heavy.

- Wear it instead of a cardigan to keep warm .<br>When you're out in the mountains, the wind can suddenly get cold.
In such cases, you can tie it around your neck and put it on over your shoulders to create a simple cold weather garment.
It's also breathable, so you can wear it comfortably while moving without overheating.

- Rain skirt and windproof skirt <br>When it starts to lightly rain, but the situation isn't serious enough to warrant wearing rain gear, you can wrap it around your waist to create a rain skirt.
It also doubles as a windproof skirt when it gets too cold for shorts.
*It is not completely waterproof, so it is not suitable for prolonged or heavy rain.

- Use it as a picnic sheet <br>You can lay it on wet grass or dirty ground when taking a break or eating.
If you place the water-repellent side facing the ground, you'll be comfortable even after it rains.
With just this one item, you won't need to bring a separate picnic blanket.

- Can also be used as a tablecloth <br>It is also useful when the table gets dirty while hiking or camping.
Simply spread it out before a meal to keep it clean.
Even if you spill soy sauce or sauce, it won't soak in because it's super water-repellent, so you can just wipe it off.

- Can also be used as an umbrella<br>If it suddenly starts raining while you're out and about , or you need to go to the toilet at the tent site...in such cases, you can just throw it over your head and use it as a simple umbrella.
It's a temporary solution, but it's much more comfortable than nothing.

・The original purpose of furoshiki as a wrapping tool <br>The flexibility unique to furoshiki is still alive and well, as it can be used to wrap things you don't want to get wet, to bundle up wet clothes, or to tie it up and use it as a makeshift bucket.
It can hold a lot of water, making it convenient for drawing water from streams or washing your hands and feet.
