Snow Peak, an innovator of outdoor apparel and gear, and Teijin Limited have announced that they have co-developed a new material fabric for outdoor apparel, utilising Teijin’s dyeable and flame-retardant meta-aramid fibre, Teijinconex neo. The new fabric is used for a new product for Takibi series, Snow Peak’s high-performance outdoor clothing.

The new Takibi down jacket will be introduced at Snow Peak stores on September 21, 2018 and pants, coveralls, and vests have been already released via the company’s shop and its retail shops, Teijin said in a press release.

Since 2016, Teijin has been working with Snow Peak on the new Takibi series utilising its Teijinconex heatproof material. Teijinconex neo, which was modified for the Takibi series over the past two years, combines high mobility with fashionable comfort suitable for outdoor use in both the city and the countryside.

Teijinconex neo is a heatproof and flame-retardant material similar to Teijinconex, but also boasts excellent dyeability. The Takibi series featuring Teijinconex neo offers both safety, including frame retardancy around campfires and comfort.

Snow Peak creates high-quality camping and mountaineering products that inspire people to enjoy the outdoors and commune with nature. Since 2014, the company has been accelerating the development of outdoor clothing designed for both urban and country life. The collaboration with Snow Peak illustrates Teijin’s technological capability to adapt original high-functional materials for solutions in diverse fields, such as special colours and textures for Takibi outdoor clothing.

Teijinconex neo line-up of Snow Peak includes Takibi down jacket, Takibi pants, Takibi coveralls, and Takibi vest. (GK)
