Over the past few years, I've been paying more attention to what I wear underneath.
In particular, since I started wearing the MOB series this season, I have clearly noticed that it not only keeps you warm, but also feels comfortable and comfortable (when sweating). Since I started using the MOB Pant, I no longer wear the shorts and spats that I used to wear as layers.
When I'm using the lifts and there isn't much climbing, I don't wear the Afton II Jacket or Hoody, but instead wear an inner down jacket and then a jacket. Using the MOB series allows for a lighter layering style and is more comfortable.
Niseko is not as cold as the inland areas of Hokkaido, so I go to my BC wearing only this layering, even in the middle of winter.
I think I've found the perfect jacket for me with the Tsurugi JKT.
One of the things I like about it is that it's stylish and simple, and easy to move around in.
It is thinner than other jackets, but since I use it at BC where I move around a lot, I have never felt uncomfortable due to the cold.
The pattern is to wear it all day or take it off in case your body temperature rises.
I have a strong personal preference for Tsurugi JKT, and of course, it may be better for my business if I sell a lot of them, but
To be honest, I would like the Tsurugi JKT to be worn not only by people who look good, but also by people who understand its benefits and can make use of it in the field.
