How has Columbia's popular daypack "Pepper Rock" changed with its renewal?
Columbia's daypack series "Pepper Rock" has been significantly revamped, from structure to design. The "NEW" Pepper Rock™ 30L Backpack has been born as a new staple that can be widely used from everyday to outdoor settings. It has a design that blends easily with business styles and can be used comfortably in urban areas.
One for everything from outdoor activities to workations!
Launched in 2019, the Pepper Lock series features a simple design and size variations that are easy to use in town while still equipped with functionality developed for outdoor use. The high-end model "Pepper Rock Advance," introduced last year, features a back pad that excels in cushioning and breathability, enhancing its ability to handle serious field conditions.
The newly renewed Pepper Lock series this season comes standard with the back structure used in "Pepper Rock Advance." A back pad with punched processing to enhance breathability and comfort greatly improves the fit. The back waist section uses a shape that naturally conforms to the body, making it easy to fit, and it includes a detachable waist strap that can be flexibly arranged according to the amount of luggage and usage scenario.
The overall shape has been reconsidered, giving a rounded bottom that creates a smarter and cleaner silhouette when worn. It blends easily into business styles and can be used without discomfort in the city.
The main compartment includes a sleeve for a 15-inch laptop. To securely carry larger screens of digital tablets, it has been updated to a stiffer mesh sleeve compared to previous models. It is dependable not only for commuting and attending classes but also for workations and business trips.

The color variations range from chic monochrome colors to tones that are not too flashy but blend well with the outdoors, available in a total of five colors. Two sizes are offered: 30L and 23L, allowing you to choose based on your needs and lifestyle. Additionally, it features Columbia's unique water-repellent technology "OMNI-SHIELD," making it easy to adapt to sudden weather changes, providing high versatility that is reassuring both in the city and nature.
On and off, this one is OK. It seems to be becoming the new standard for daypacks that fit into your lifestyle.
