EKAL, a brand operating the TINY GARDEN Tateshina accommodation facility on the shores of Lake Tateshina in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, develops items that seamlessly connect daily life and nature under the concept "Not the sea, not the mountains, but the lake." The brand is re-releasing its popular CARIBOU Mountaineering exclusive item for the 2026 SS season with new colors.
Caribou Mountaineering × EKAL L. WEIGHT PACK TOTE
This lightweight pack tote features a 2-way design that can be used as both a tote bag and backpack, making it suitable for all genders and ages. The exclusive color collaboration was well-received last year and returns with fresh 2026 SS shades.
Made with lightweight ripstop nylon, the bag is both strong and light, ensuring outdoor-quality durability. Despite its capacity to easily fit A4 documents, laptops, and a change of clothes, the exterior mesh pocket and interior pockets keep everything organized and tidy.
The bag also features packable storage capability, making it ideal as a secondary bag or for travel. From material selection to stitching, every detail has been carefully crafted, resulting in a bag that excels in lightness, durability, and storage capacity.
