The 2-way leather helmet bag is going on sale!
Hello! I'm Nakajima, a designer at HushTug.
This time, the sales date for our new product, the "2-Way Leather Helmet Bag," has been decided, so I'd like to provide a detailed introduction covering everything from its development background to its specifications, size, and storage capacity.
Background of Development | Reimagining the Helmet Bag, Traditionally Nylon, in Leather
In recent years, helmet bags have become a more common sight in urban areas, but most are made of nylon.
This led to the question, "What if we made one from leather?", and that's how development began.
Keeping the large front pocket, which is emblematic of helmet bags, we've stripped away unnecessary ornamentation, characteristic of HushTug, to create a more refined and simple design.
Design Features | Minimalist Design Stripped of Ruggedness
Typical helmet bags are characterized by many metal fittings and prominent stitching.
This product minimizes these features and adopts a design where the pocket openings are inconspicuous, creating a simple exterior that is suitable for business use.
Business Specifications | Enhanced Practicality with Gusseted Design
While most traditional helmet bags lack a gusset, this product features a 9cm gusset.
This ensures practicality, as it allows for:
- Easy storage of documents and files
- The silhouette to remain intact even when stored
These features ensure practicality.
2-Way Specification | Comfortable for Shoulder Carry
It's a 2-way bag that can be carried by hand or as a shoulder bag.
The shoulder pad, used for the first time in this product, has cushioning and is made of mesh material, which prevents slipping and reduces the burden on the shoulder even when carrying heavy items.
Furthermore, it is designed for ease of use, as it can be easily attached and detached with Velcro and adjusted to your preferred position.
The shoulder strap length ranges from 66cm to 124cm, allowing for diagonal carry.

L size
- Width: 44.5cm
- Height: 36cm
- Depth: 9cm

- Height: 32.5cm
- Depth: 9cm

Storage Capacity | Large Capacity Design Beyond Appearance
Exterior Pockets
It can comfortably store a 500ml PET bottle or a long wallet.
A key feature is its design, which prevents bulging after storage, allowing the overall silhouette of the bag to remain intact.
Interior
The interior material is a highly durable fabric, rather than traditional suede.
To match its military-inspired origins, the interior is uniformly a subtle grey.
L size
It features three internal pockets, one of which is designed to be wide.
This allows for easy storage of small items such as a bifold wallet, glasses case, or card case without force, making it convenient for organizing belongings.
M size
It features two internal pockets, each designed to be slightly wider.
Compact yet capable of storing essential small items, it's designed for user-friendliness.
Main Compartment
There's ample room for A4 files, pencil cases, and more, providing storage capacity suitable for both daily use and business settings.
PC Sleeve
It comes with a dedicated pocket, which is cushioned to securely protect your laptop.
Furthermore, it can be secured with a snap button, ensuring stable storage even when carrying it around.
The L size accommodates 16-inch laptops, while the M size fits 13-inch laptops.
Magnetic Closure | Fidlock Parts for High Operability and Security
This product features "Fidlock" magnetic parts, adopted for the first time.
It automatically closes when brought close, and has a structure that prevents it from opening unless slid in a specific direction. This ensures smooth opening and closing while also offering excellent security.
Wearing Image
The L size has a substantial presence and is spacious enough for shoulder carry.
The M size is a size smaller and more suitable for everyday use.
Both allow for free adjustment of the carrying style via shoulder strap adjustment.
