Kolon Sports Launches Backpack with Fan Attached to the Back Panel View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Kolon Industries FnC Division (hereinafter Kolon FnC) announced that its outdoor brand Kolon Sports will launch two types of cool packs, including backpacks and hip sacks, for this spring and summer season.


The cool pack is a bag that applies a cooling system to blow cool air from the back and was first introduced in the spring and summer season of 2018.


The backpack design 'Cool Pack-B' applies dual fans on the back, with two fans drawing in air, and cooling holes on the neck and back to release air to the back panel and nape. Kolon Sports has obtained a design patent for the backpack back panel structure equipped with a cooling function.


By connecting a regular portable battery to the USB cable inside the bag and pressing the button located on the shoulder strap, users can immediately experience the cooling system. There are two buttons, allowing separate use of the two cooling holes, and the wind strength can be adjusted in two stages: low and high.


To maximize breathability by allowing air to flow through the entire back panel, air mesh fabric was used. Additionally, soft EVA foam (a highly elastic synthetic resin) and PU sponge materials were applied to the back part to upgrade wearing comfort.


Practical functions were also added. Cordura fabric, known for its durability and water repellency, is used so the bag can be used even on rainy days, and 3M retroreflective fabric is applied to the bottom of the bag for safety during nighttime.


A separate safety foam pocket inside can store laptops up to 15 inches, and the simple and sophisticated design makes it a daily bag suitable for anyone.


'Cool Pack-H' is designed as a hip sack reflecting the recent trend of wearing hip sacks crosswise on the chest. It sucks in air through a rear cooling fan and blows air out through a cooling hole facing the face. Like Cool Pack-B, it can be easily operated using the button located at the top front.



Meanwhile, Kolon Sports will pre-release the products through Wadiz on the 2nd of next month and plans to sell them later on KolonSports.com, Kolon Mall, and some offline stores.
