Case Studies

Reliable hiking maps designed to perform in harsh mountain environments

The “Yama to Kogen Map” series is used in hiking environments exposed to rain, snow, and strong winds, where materials must withstand harsh conditions. YUPO was selected for its waterproofness, durability, and fold resistance, and its proven reliability has supported continued use for over 40 years.
The “Yama to Kogen Map” series is designed for hiking and mountain activities, where maps are used in harsh conditions such as rain, snow, strong winds, and limited handling space. They are repeatedly folded and handled by users under these demanding environments.
Maps used in such environments require waterproofness to prevent information loss, durability against repeated use, and fold resistance to maintain portability. As a tool for safe navigation, reliability was a critical requirement.
YUPO provides performance that withstands harsh natural conditions, offering a high level of waterproofness, durability, and fold resistance. These properties led to its adoption in the “Yama to Kogen Map” series, where it has continued to be used for over 40 years as a reliable material.

Customer Feedback

Because these maps are used in harsh natural environments, waterproofness, durability, and fold resistance were essential. YUPO fully meets these requirements, and we believe its reliability is the reason it has continued to be valued over many years.
