Down hoodie from Teton Bros
Hybrid Down Hoody ¥58300
This is a high-spec down hoodie from Teton bros. It features a combination of 1000-fill-power water-repellent down with water-repellent treatment at the feather stage and a synthetic fiber batting thermostat that exerts an infrared heat storage effect. It does not easily lose its heat retention even when it gets wet, and won the Best In The Show Award from Gear Patrol at the 2018 Outdoor Retailer Show.
Down is included in the hood and around the neck, and the cuffs are designed to prevent wind from entering.
The ribs on the cuffs make it easy to put on and take off even while wearing gloves.
“Im really impressed by this outerwear from Teton Bros, which can also be used as an overjacket in snowy mountains. Its strength is that it is highly waterproof and can be worn without worrying about rain and snow. It is also very comfortable to wear. I think it will be a big success this winter, which is expected to be colder than usual! ”
