【Glow-in-the-Dark Carabiner】A 50-year-old small factory's product! It shines brightly in the dark for peace of mind
When you're fumbling around in the dark looking for gear, the beam of light that shines out is reassuring. I want to carry this glow-in-the-dark carabiner, made with serious craftsmanship by a small factory, for camping and evening walks.
At night camping, you might experience "Hey, where did I put that?"
Searching for the zipper pull when returning to the tent, losing track of where the keys are after turning off the lantern... etc. At night during camping, a little bit of the stress from the darkness is inevitable. You could use a headlamp to solve it, but you don't want to wake everyone around you. That's when this carabiner comes in handy.
The glow-in-the-dark carabiner from Maruhachikasei collects sunlight and light from lamps to emit a glow. It requires no batteries or switches, and you can attach it to your backpack zipper or the tent's guy rope, making it useful as a nighttime marker.

Increased size by 30% from the previous model, with about 2 times the strength.
This large size has been designed 30% larger than the conventional product in response to user requests. The D type measures 75.9mm in height and 42.2mm in width, while the S type measures 73mm in height and 46.2mm in width, making it easy to handle even with gloved hands.
It is made from glow-in-the-dark polycarbonate resin. Made of high-strength resin, it is tough and easy to handle even outdoors. It comes in two colors: green and blue.

Don't overlook its capabilities as a disaster preparedness item.
Not only for camping but also reliable for disaster preparedness, this carabiner has its advantages. It shines without a battery during power outages, making it useful in emergencies. It can be used as an accessory for bags during normal times and come in handy when needed. It is an item with this duality.
Japanese-made items filled with the technology of small factories
Amidst a plethora of mass-produced outdoor gear, this glow-in-the-dark carabiner is packed with the technology and ideas of small factories. It may not be flashy, but a tool that makes you think "this is good" every time you use it is something you'll want to keep for a long time.
