Now that December has arrived, it's starting to feel cold.
You can now see Christmas lights in the city!
Looking back at this year, it seems like it has gone by faster than usual.
My last trip was to California and Hawaii in March, and it's been quiet and sober.
Personally, I think it also feels that way because I work from home when there are no business negotiations or necessary meetings.
This is the first winter for our new website, "SLOW TEMPO."
It's still like a baby taking its first steps, and various settings are left half-finished and unfinished after being handed over...
I would like to say that there is beauty in imperfection, but that is a different story (laughs).
The system is important, but the most important thing is the "passion" and "good products"!
Well, I'd like to continue moving forward slowly while keeping the store name.
Even if it is a little difficult to use, I would be happy if you would bear with me.
Well, that's how I'll introduce the products to you.
The top choice for winter outerwear is UBR.
Let me briefly introduce you to the UBR brand once again.
UBR: Founded in Norway in 2009 by Dag Tresselt.
"OUTDOOR TECHNOLOGY + CITY TAILORING"
As stated above, we offer super warm products that are made using our own proprietary high-performance materials and have a beautiful, tailor-made silhouette.
The brand name UBR (Uber) comes from the German word "upper," meaning "high quality" or "upper class."
We have released a wide range of outerwear that is versatile and backed by high functionality, making it suitable for a wide range of situations, from business to casual wear on the weekends.
As the name suggests, “Any City, Any Conditions,” it has the range to suit any city and any climate.
The down jacket I'm introducing today is also a piece that embodies UBR's philosophy.
"7062 Bolt JACKET XP"
First of all, regarding the material, UBR uses its own Regulator II laminate 4-way stretch (81% nylon, 19% polyurethane).
It is a breathable, waterproof material with a water resistance of 20,000 mm and breathability of 20,000g/24h, which is the same standard as high-spec outdoor wear.
The fabric is also very supple, soft and stretchy, so you'll be enthralled by the comfort it gives as it gently wraps around your body.
Another great thing about this down jacket is that it is seamless with no stitching!
The special "Sonic Welded Channel Construction" seamless manufacturing process does not damage the fabric, and unlike regular heat pressing, there are no seams, so there is no need to worry about the down falling out, and it also has high water resistance.
The filling is made of 90% high-quality 800 fill power white goose down and 10% feathers, making it fluffy, soft and excellent at retaining heat.
And here's the key point!!
Although the down is voluminous, Primaloft is used under the sleeves and at the sides of the body to give it a clean finish.
This makes it look beautiful when worn.
This is a philosophy unique to UBR, and you can feel their commitment to creating beautiful silhouettes while also taking trends into account.
Once winter hits, you'll probably find yourself wearing your favorite outerwear more often.
Another great feature is that it is lightweight, weighing just 830g (medium size), so you won't feel tired even when wearing it.
The hood can be easily removed with a zipper.
When you remove it, it becomes a stand-up collar and can be worn like a blouson, which is also cool♪
The atmosphere changes drastically depending on whether or not you wear it with a hood, so you can enjoy changing the look by styling it differently.
It's not clear from the photo, but the inside of the side pockets are lined with Polartec fleece, which provides excellent protection against the cold and makes them great hand warmers.
It's a small thing, but it's important!
It also has plenty of inner pockets, so you can go out empty-handed on your days off.
The UBR logo uses a black reflector that reflects light, making a subtle statement.
This casualness is what I really like about it.
The 7062 Bolt JACKET XP debuted last year and is only in its second year, but it is already a model that is gradually gaining popularity.
The width of the body and shoulders are made with a loose, relaxed fit, which is perfect for the current mood.
However, as UBR is known for never being loose or sloppy, I think it's a piece that adults can wear without hesitation.
The finish is sure to satisfy you, so if you haven't started preparing for winter yet, please consider this product.
