Product Description
Yamato Michi Mini
■Excerpt from the manufacturer's description
*Important Safety Information
〇About the fabric's water resistance
Although this product is made from highly water-resistant fabric, it is not completely waterproof. Please place items you want to keep dry in a waterproof pack liner or use a backpack cover.
〇Regarding the Use of Insect Repellents
Insect repellents containing DEET can damage the fabric coating, so please do not allow them to come into contact with this product.
〇How to Open and Close the Roll-Top
When opening or closing the roll-top section, be sure to hold the red tape and pull the pull tab. Pulling directly on the fabric or the grommets themselves may cause the grommets to come loose. If a grommet comes loose, please contact us via the repair request form.
The Standard for Ultralight Backpacks in Japan
Weighing just 413g, this ultralight backpack offers a maximum capacity of 32L and high expandability, making it suitable for both day hikes and overnight trips. Designed to distribute the load comfortably across the upper body, it frees up your hips, allowing you to hike comfortably on Japan’s hilly trails.
素材には英国発祥の高機能ファブリックブランド「パーテックス」と共同開発した軽量でしなやかな70デニールと210デニールを適材適所で用いたオリジナル生地*と、極めて高い強度を誇る超高分子量ポリエチレン100％のテクノフォース@スチール（フロントポケット、ボトムのみに使用）の2種類を用意。
The standard for ultralight hiking in Japan, refined through numerous updates since its release.
*Please note that Technoforce@ Steel (TS White) is made from a different material, so the price is 39,000 yen (tax included).
■Features and Design
A design that allows you to move with ease in the mountains
Designed to carry loads of up to approximately 8 kg, the MINI is engineered to distribute the weight naturally across the upper body—from the shoulder blades to the sternum—without relying on the lower back.
Japan’s mountains feature many rocky sections and steep climbs where you cannot proceed without using your entire body; in such situations, it is crucial that your hips move freely and that you can control your lower body as you wish.
With the MINI, which frees up your lower back and gives your lower body more freedom, you can comfortably hike even on trails with steep ups and downs like those in Japan.
○ High scalability
With its long roll-top closure and spacious front and side pockets, the MINI offers a capacity of 30 liters or more. Furthermore, by utilizing the top strap, bungee cords, and bottom attachment loops, it offers high expandability, allowing you to carry even more gear.
■Size Guide
[ M ] Weight: 42–69 kg, Height: 150–175 cm, Back length: 45–54 cm
[ L ] Weight: 67–85 kg, Height: 170–190 cm, Back length: 54–57 cm
As a general guideline, we recommend size L for those who are 175 cm or taller, though some people who are 170 cm tall find that size L fits them perfectly. If possible, we recommend trying it on before purchasing.

■Technoforce Steel
Made from 100% ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), this fabric is lightweight yet boasts exceptional strength—light enough to float on water, yet theoretically capable of withstanding a load of approximately 20 tons with a diameter of just 10 mm.By weaving this yarn at high density, the fabric achieves world-class tear resistance, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance relative to its weight. Furthermore, the reverse side is coated with polycarbonate—which is far more resistant to hydrolysis than standard polyurethane—and has been certified to show no significant changes over a 10-year period in the "Jungle Test," which measures degradation from long-term use.Since UHPE itself does not absorb water, the fabric does not become heavy when wet.
Another distinctive feature is its unique, textured fabric, which becomes softer with use.
