NANGA WHITE LABEL DOWN PARKA

In the city or outdoors.
The easiest downwear to wear every day.

If the strongest down jacket is the "strongest winter wear," then this down parka is the "easiest winter wear."

We've pursued a balance that blends in naturally, whether in the city or outdoors.

The reason people feel cold is because heat escapes from the body.

Down jackets trap heat in the air layers of the feathers, enveloping the body in warm air to provide insulation from the cold.

That's why it's been said that "feathers that can store a lot of air = high-quality down."

This property is expressed in terms of fill power (FP).

FP is a unit that represents the expansion of 1 ounce (28.4g) of feathers when compressed, and the higher the number, the more air they can store.

Of the many down materials available, NANGA WHITE LABEL uses the highest quality Hungarian silver goose down.

While feathers with a FP of 600 or above are generally considered high-end, these feathers have an FP of an astounding 900FP or higher.

Not only is this feather high, it's also special in that it maintains its performance even in harsh environments.

The soft, cozy feel of being wrapped in fluffy fabric would not be possible without this feather.

What's more, the feathers themselves are treated with an ultra-water-repellent finish, making them UDD (Ultra Dry Down), so they don't lose bulk when wet.

Finally, the cold-weather performance is determined by the FP and fill volume. Only when these two factors are combined can the down be truly warm.

The down parka is filled with 125g (average for a size M) of feathers with a FP of 900FP or higher.

A fill volume of 125g is comparable to that of regular mid-winter downwear.

But NANGA WHITE LABEL has deliberately defined it as a "light outerwear."

The volume is just right, as it's designed for life in Hokkaido.

The outer fabric is made of a lightweight, highly durable 2.5-layer waterproof and breathable material.
This 20-denier down jacket boasts waterproof and breathable performance that exceeds that of the classic Auroratex, yet is less than half the thickness.

The triple ripstop construction makes it tear-resistant, supple, and stretchy, with a matte, luxurious finish.

The lining combines 20-denier recycled nylon with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and 30-denier anti-static material.

It's stain-resistant and efficiently transfers heat to the down, keeping it dry and comfortable all winter long.

The shoulder pattern features a unique seamless structure that took two years to perfect.

This keeps the air layer of the down intact, improving warmth and reducing stress when carrying a bag.

We've also paid careful attention to everyday usability.

Until now, a common reason for replacing down jackets has been due to dirty collars.

That's why we've chosen a comfortable, stain-resistant block fleece for the neck lining.

It's also machine washable at home, making everyday care easy.
This will significantly reduce the need for replacement and make it a long-lasting winter companion.

Waterproof zippers are used on the front and pockets, which are exposed to the outside.
The front uses a Vislon type zipper that is highly water-resistant and opens and closes smoothly, combining operability with waterproofness.

Plenty of inner and mesh pockets are provided.
The front pocket is also lined with block fleece, which doubles as a hand warmer pocket.
It is also filled with feathers, so it will quickly warm numb hands.

The chest pocket has a padded sheet on the outside to protect stored items from the cold.
Storing your smartphone in it will reduce battery drain in cold temperatures. Even larger models can be stored, and the design does not interfere with your chest.

The stoppers for adjusting the hem and hood are sewn inside, and the cords are pulled from inside the pockets.
The fact that they are completely invisible from the outside is actually a key point in maintaining the minimalist design.
