Crumpler flagship store in Manila now open

If you’re wondering where the biggest Crumpler store is to satisfy your fixation, check it out at the spanking new East Wing of the Shang-ri La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City. Worth checking out is the unique interior design, specially created for Crumpler by award-winning Australian architects Ryan Russell and Byron George.

Crumpler Store

In time for the Shang-ri La East Wing opening, Crumpler Philippines also launched the new Outpost Project series of bags as well as two new bag models: the Ludicrous Debacle and Proud Stash.

The Outpost Project is a series of bags made especially for mobile gearheads. While each bag looks different, they are all characterized by their distinct combination of classic hiker ruggedness and outdoor street style. Each Outpost Project bag has pouches and zippered pockets which makes it highly functional.

Inspired by the rugged nature of traveling, Crumpler has named each Outpost Project bag after cities and places that are visited by only the most hardy of travelers. Hence, you have camera bags named Cobram (Australia), Kashgar (China), Sebang (Malaysia), Aso (Japan), Karachi (Pakistan) as well as our very own Tondo (Philippines).

Started in 1992, Crumpler was the product of a young man named Stu Crumpler. Stu was an avid beer drinker and transporting cans of beer using his bike was slowly becoming a heavy chore. The first Crumpler bag was created for the sole purpose of being a beer container which worked quite well. Not soon after, Stu Crumpler’s highly durable “beer” bag caught the attention of a bike messenger company owned by Will Miller and Dave Roper who commissioned Stu Crumpler to reengineer the beer bag and make it into a backpack for their bike messengers. It was a complete success as the bags prived to be not only durable, but also practical and comfortable to use. Driven by a shared passion to create the best bags for bikers Stu, Will and Dave started their own business making and selling their own line of bags which was appropriately named “Crumpler”

The other Crumpler stores in Manila are located at Bonifacio High Street, TriNoma, Robinsons Magnolia.

Inboosta Travel Booster review

By now, am a veteran of portable chargers and have tried a number of brands already. Mobility is mainly the reason why you’d want this gadget.I like using the internet and uploading to my social networks but it’s a dampener when when the old phone battery of my (antiquated) Samsung S2 dies on me while on coverage or on the road. Hence, a travel charger is a great savior.

The Inboosta Travel booster is so far the best of the portable chargers I’ve tried. It has solid construction, is very easy to use and its appearance is definitely eye candy. The review unit I got came in a bright pop of pink which made it very attractive to whoever saw it. This is all part of the brand’s IB4400 Rainbow Series where the charger colors come in lovely shades like fuschia, neon green, yellow, white and tiffany blue.

Gone are the days when a boxed charger like this will scare technophobes.The good thing with this Inboosta is that it was pre-charged so I was able to use it immediately even when fresh out of the box. Just connect one end of the USB cable to the charger and the other end to your phone (while using any of the micro USB adaptors available), turn on the buttons in front of the gadgets which will light up to signify that you’re now powered on. I love the fact that even while this Inboosta looks heavy, it was a breeze carrying it around. The charger is not just for smartphones but also for tablets, handheld game devices, music players and others.

Once the power drains out, just connect the cable to your computer again to get some juice. Ideally, you should charge for eight hours or overnight and in return, you will get portable power of approximately 240 minutes.

Overall, I’d give the Inboosta Travel Booster a thumbs up. I consider it the best in class among similar products at the moment. Available at a price of P2,490 in the following stores:

Digital Hub
Digital Walker
Beyond the Box
Switch
Astrovision
Astroplus
