A lightweight but strong buddy
With BUDDY, you can fully enjoy a day in the mountains with lightweight and compact gear. we are particularly proud of the comfort it offers and its ease of use.
Comfortable High Center of Gravity
WEIGHT BALANCE
All the BUDDY series has a inverted trapezoidal design with a higher center of gravity balance. By carrying your luggage in higher place of your body, you can feel comfortable with it.

The top pocket, frequently accessed, features a zipper for easy opening and closing, with an inner mesh pocket included.

DESIGNER'S VOICE
When it comes to outdoor gear, it’s crucial that anyone can use it safely and easily. At the same time, I believe my mission is to create something no one’s ever seen before. That’s why Paago Works products are “rounded but edgy.”
The BUDDY, which launched this spring, is exactly that kind of backpack. At first glance, it has an authentic design with high versatility as a tool. But if you look closer, you’ll see that it’s unique in everything from its basic structure to its details. During development, we started with simple, straightforward prototypes, experimenting with a roll-top design and a back-side opening. In the end, we adopted the same "high center of gravity design" used in the RUSH28. This unique structure opens the pack wide on the body side and uses stabilizers to bring the center of gravity closer to the shoulder blades. On the material side, we focused on making it lightweight yet tough, with a texture that anyone can feel comfortable using. Plus, the storage capacity and accessibility have been improved compared to the RUSH28. It’s the perfect example of a backpack that’s “rounded but edgy.”
So, grab your BUDDY and head out for some outdoor fun!
Let’s pack and go!
