🎌 The $100 Challenge: A&F Japan Edition 🎌
Carry showdown, Tokyo style.
We gave our Creative Director, Taylor Welden and Editor-in-Chief, Mike Knispel $100 each (plus a very generous staff discount — arigatou, Tomo 🙏) and just 10 minutes inside A&F Japan to hunt down the best piece of carry gear they could find.
Now it’s your turn.
Watch the video, cast your vote, and decide who chose the best piece of gear — Team Taylor or Team Mike. Then we’ll randomly pick one lucky voter to win both carry picks as a prize pack. 🎁
🗳 Voting closes: May 22
🎉 Winner announced: May 23
Let the games begin.

![The Worlds First (Really) Circular Backpack? The Freitag Mono
Weve seen circular bags before with Bergans Future Labs (https://bit.ly/3QObG9o) but never anything that was completely market-ready. Until now…
The Freitag Mono [PA6] Backpack is the first backpack built from only one material: PA6. Better known as nylon. The entire backpack from the fabric to the hardware to the zippers are made from PA6, creating an unparalleled ability for circular use and reuse. Use it, have it repaired, use it some more, and at the end of its life, send it back to Freitag to be completely broken down into brand new textiles for brand new bags.
Bravo, Freitag!
