■ The Brand’s Oldest Product, Born from the Spirit of MYOG

At the launch of the brand in 2015, the "Travel Pouch Plus"—RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR's oldest product—was born through endless trial and error, crafted on a sewing machine atop a small table in a tiny apartment.

Imbued with a fierce commitment to "adding no waste," its minimalist design possesses a profound appeal: because it is stripped down to its absolute essentials, its utility expands infinitely based on the user's ingenuity. While it began as a simple storage pouch, the brand responded to real feedback from users who wanted to use it as a sacoche by adding strap loops.

Evolving through a pure passion for craftsmanship (the MYOG spirit) and ongoing dialogue with users, this piece of gear continues to be cherished today as the true origin of the brand.

■ A Commitment to Materials and Design

For the fabric, the brand has utilized "Dyneema® CT5K.18/wov.32c." This material, offering an exceptional balance of being incredibly lightweight yet remarkably durable, was chosen after testing countless fabrics. The perfect harmony between long-lasting durability and steadfast reliability when it matters most is what anchors the very core of this product.

The design features a simple, single-compartment structure, stripped of any unnecessary ornamentation to ensure your essentials fit neatly inside. Rather than chasing lightness alone, great care has been taken to ensure daily usability and effortless handling as a practical tool.

Furthermore, starting in 2025, a new material option, "ULTRA 100X," joined the lineup.

While retaining the signature lightness and reliability of the time-tested "Dyneema® CT5K.18/wov.32c," expanding the material choices allows users to select the perfect match for their personal preference and environment. Both materials remain deeply rooted in the product’s foundational philosophy: "lightweight, simple, and built to last."

The "Travel Pouch Plus" is an item that empowers each individual to use it freely and discover their own unique way of carrying it. This is the ongoing story of a pouch that traces its roots back to 2015, born on a sewing machine atop a small apartment table. We invite you to experience the rich history and passion woven into its creation.

■Packing Examples

■Shoulder Strap Tough

With loops equipped on both top corners, the "Travel Pouch Plus" can be converted into a sacoche by combining it with the "Shoulder Strap Tough" (sold separately).

■ Aging & Character

The "Dyneema® CT5K.18/wov.32c" fabric used in this product offers a compelling blend of lightweight performance and high durability, but its greatest appeal lies in its dramatic aging process.

While it starts with a crisp, structured texture, daily use carves wrinkles into the fabric, softening it and transforming it into a mellow look that blends naturally into the owner's lifestyle. Furthermore, a slight shrinkage in the fabric creates a distinctive puckering along the zipper, while the bottom gusset loses its sharp edges to take on a softer, rounded silhouette. With every use, the pouch develops its own character, truly becoming a one-of-a-kind item.

This material, which retains its exceptional strength while growing richer in both appearance and feel, is a personal favorite of the developer. It embodies the hope that you will thoroughly enjoy this special, material-specific experience—watching your gear grow more cherished with each passing year.

■ Fabric Shrinkage During Use

The primary material of this product, "Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF)," has a natural tendency to shrink by approximately 1% to 3% depending on the environment and conditions of use.

This shrinkage is caused by thermal contraction at temperatures above 60°C, shifts in internal tension from structural loads during use, and the self-readjustment of the fabric as moisture dries. This gradual change has been confirmed firsthand in the actual pouch used daily by the developer for six months.

To minimize this effect, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight or high-temperature environments such as inside a car, dry the product promptly if it gets wet, and store it loosely folded without excessive compression. Providing proper care helps prevent rapid changes or degradation of the material, allowing you to keep the product in optimal condition for a long time.

■ Product Colors

While we make every effort to ensure that product images accurately reflect the actual colors, the appearance may vary depending on your viewing environment or monitor settings. Please also note that it is difficult to perfectly replicate the texture and sheen of the fabric on a screen.

■ Attention

Although both the fabric and the zipper are made of waterproof materials, the seams are not seam-sealed. Therefore, this product is not completely waterproof. If the surface becomes dirty, please clean it by gently wiping it with a damp cloth.
