– The side pocket fabric has been upgraded to Ultra Stretch (custom color: black), with extremely high durability.
– The compression cord buckle and guyline components have been replaced with smaller versions.
– The compression cord thickness has been adjusted to 2 mm and the gear loop to 2.5 mm.
– The hydration hose port has been removed.

– The shoulder straps and back panel fabric have been changed from 200D Oxford to 200D HT PC coated ripstop nylon.
– The shoulder strap adjustment tape has been reengineered to be more durable over long-term use, with slack increased from level one to level two, facilitating compatibility with various shoulder strap options from different manufacturers. The emergency whistle has been changed to black.
– The hip belt buckle has been updated.

– The side pockets have been lowered slightly to facilitate easier access to bottles, with a redesign of parts and pattern for easier opening and closing while in motion.

Material

The MINI Custom Edition features unique fabrics developed by Yamatomichi, including 200D HT PC coated ripstop nylon and 70D HT PC coated ripstop nylon, with options for lightweight and highly durable TechnoForce® Steel, and waterproof X-Pac (for pockets and bottom), allowing for customizable material and color selections based on the application.
*Technoforce® Steel is only available in White

200D HT PC Coated Ripstop Nylon

AVAILABLE FOR: FRONT POCKET

This 200 denier high-tenacity (HT) nylon, interwoven with ripstop threads, boasts excellent tear resistance for its weight. The fabric has a water-repellent coating on the surface and a polycarbonate (PC) coating on the back which is significantly resistant to hydrolysis, ensuring minimal degradation even after 10 years in “jungle tests.”

200D HT PC Coated Ripstop Nylon 138g/m²

Material: 200 denier high-tenacity nylon
Coating: Polycarbonate coating, DWR

Tear strength (JIS L1096A): Vertical 9kg, Horizontal 10kg
The load value until the test piece with a cut is torn
Tensile strength (JIS L1096A): Vertical 177kg, Horizontal 139kg
The maximum value when the test piece is pulled at a constant speed until it breaks
Water resistance (JIS L1092B): 10,000mm
The pressure at which water leaks at three points as the water pressure on the test piece is increased at a constant rate

Technoforce® Steel

AVAILABLE FOR: FRONT POCKET, BOTTOM

The fabric made from 100% ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHPE) is exceptionally lightweight yet strong; light enough to float on water yet theoretically capable of supporting around 20 tons with just a 10 mm diameter. This high-density woven fabric offers world-class tear resistance, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. Its hydrolysis-resistant PC coating on the back further enhances long-term durability, with “jungle tests” showing no significant changes after 10 years. UHPE does not retain water, preventing the fabric from becoming heavier when wet.

Technoforce® Steel 98g/m²

Material: 150 denier woven fiber
Coating: Polycarbonate coating

Tear strength (JIS L1096A): Vertical 61kg, Horizontal 58kg
The load value until the test piece with a cut is torn
Tensile strength (JIS L1096A): Vertical 495kg, Horizontal 436kg
The maximum value when the test piece is pulled at a constant speed until it breaks
Water resistance (JIS L1092B): 760mm
The pressure at which water leaks at three points as the water pressure on the test piece is increased at a constant rate

*All test data are in-house measurements.

We plan to releaase the MINI TS (¥36,000), made with Technoforce® Steel, in June 2024.

AVAILABLE FOR: BODY/ROLL TOP, FRONT POCKET
*Gray can no longer be selected for the body material.

This 70 denier HT (high-tenacity) ripstop nylon fabric is our proprietary material with enhanced strength and durability compared with conventional nylon. The surface is DWR (durable water repellent) finished, and the backside is polycarbonate coated, achieving a much better anti-hydrolyzation performance than regular polyurethane-based fabrics.

AVAILABLE FOR: FRONT POCKET

X-Pac VX07 is a multi-layer fabric comprised of 70 denier nylon on the surface, a water-resistant polyester film in the middle, and a 50 denier polyester taffeta and diamond-patterned black polyester X-Ply material at the back. It is highly durable and water-resistant with hydrostatic water-resistant structural technology.

Comparison of Weight and Tear Strength

In the diagram below, the higher the blue value, the heavier the fabric, while higher black values indicate greater strength.

Tear strength (the force required to tear the fabric) is represented by average values. The figures for Ultra 200, X-Pac VX07, and X-Pac VX21 are based on manufacturer’s data (ASTM D2261), while others are from in-house testing (JIS L1096A).

5. Select Back Pad

Please select from two types of back pads below. Both are removable, but function differently.

Minimalist Pad (43g) 

It is installed as a standard back pad for our regular MINI. It can be used as a sleeping pad or an emergency pad to keep you warm. It is slightly smallerin width (H45cm x W90cm) than the commercial version Minimalist Pad.

Breathable Pad for MINI (130g)

Made from a material called C-CORE; a three-dimensional network structure in which polyethylene fibers are intricately entwined. C-CORE is also used as a material for high-quality mattresses. While it is 87g heavier than the default Minimalist Pad with only 43g, it is far more breathable and well-cushioned, keeping your back cooler.
