How is the pouch attached to the padded jacket detached and attached?
One might want to know how the pouch attached to the outside of the padding is actually operated, and whether it can be detached as needed.
It is interlocked with magnetic snaps embedded inside the fabric, so you can pull lightly with your hand to detach it and bring it close to secure it immediately.
When attached, it becomes a prominent storage pocket, and when detached, it leaves a clean exterior. SAN SAN GEAR's PADDED JACKET features a pouch that can be easily detached and attached with magnetic snaps[1][2].
It separates when you grasp it lightly and pull. Unlike buttons or zippers, it fastens with magnetic force just by touching the interlocking spot, so you can detach or attach it without cumbersome manipulation even while wearing gloves. The hardware is not prominently exposed on the outside, so the silhouette of the garment remains undisturbed even if you detach the pouch. When washing the garment, detaching the pouch first can also reduce damage caused by the magnetic parts bumping against each other.
The internal divider pocket structure of the pouch or whether a strap for carrying it alone is included has not yet been confirmed.
