Life in Patagonia's famous "Jackson Glacier".
Vol.1 Yuta Kimura (WOOD VILLAGE CYCLES)

Kimura: I have two rain jackets and wear them when I ride my bike and when I climb mountains. I also use several inner jackets. I used to buy other outdoor brands, but for the past few years I've only bought Patagonia jackets. Functionality is of course a criterion in my choice, but after learning about the company's attitude, I decided that if I had to choose, I would prefer Patagonia.

Kimura: First of all, they focus on environmental issues and recycling. I have a good impression of them, and when I want to buy clothes, I look for them at Patagonia.

Kimura: There is one more thing I like about Patagonia besides its products. After I started wearing Patagonia clothes more often, I read an article that introduced the Patagonia way of working. I really liked it. I heard that you can work flexibly so that you can surf during the day when the waves are good. Of course, this is assuming that it doesn't inconvenience the other staff members.

Kimura: I was convinced that good products are created because work is not the purpose of life, but is just a part of life, and hobbies are fed back into products. And there is also the aspect that the staff working there are pleasant, which makes people want to buy their products.

Kimura: This is my first down coat from Patagonia. I like the color tone and simple design. I think it matches easily with the clothes I own. Even if I had other choices, I would choose the Jackson Glacier.

Kimura: The fit is perfect, with a lean fit in the body width. The moment I put it on, I immediately realized how well it kept me warm. And it is lighter than it looks. I want to wear it camping, and it looks good for short bike rides in the middle of winter. The design is simple and stylish, and I love the coloring, making it easy to use on a daily basis.

Kimura: And also the ocean. Just recently, I started fishing for sea bass. Basically, I don't move around, so it's cold, especially at night during this time of the year. I wanted to go fishing in the middle of winter as well, so I wanted to have warm clothes. With this piece of clothing, I will be safe in any situation this winter.
