A sense of security, warmth and complete waterproofing.
-Do you wear Patagonia when you run?
Kamiyama: I love using them. I have always loved the colors and patterns of Patagonia, and I think Patagonia was the first outdoor brand that I picked up. I choose patterns for my running clothes.
-The coloring and design typical of Patagonia is one of the reasons for its popularity.
Kamiyama: Yes, yes. There are many color variations that can be used as a color accent, aren't there? Yellow, orange, blue, and other unique tones are typical of Patagonia. I like them because I can incorporate color somewhere in my outfits. Also, Patagonia has a good support system that repairs clothes. If I think I can't wear something anymore, I put it in the recycle box in the store.
-Patagonia was one of the first companies to make such efforts to recycle.
Kamiyama: Patagonia's activities are fast-paced, aren't they? I can sympathize with the recycling because it is not sarcastic or intrusive.
-The "Jackson Glacier" you wore this time is also made of 100% recycled down and recycled polyester. How was it comfortable to wear?
Kamiyama: It's packed tightly with down, but it's easy to move around in and not heavy at all when you put it on. First of all, I thought the coloring was great. There is the standard black color, and then there are exquisite colors like this.
-Do you wear a down jacket in the winter?
Kamiyama: I have worn light down jackets and down vests, but it has been a long time since I have worn a solid down jacket. Today's down jackets are so light.
-What do you think "Jackson Glacier" will be useful in your life?
Kamiyama: I will be snowboarding in the winter, so this will definitely work for me then. This would be perfect for Hokkaido. With this light weight, I want to wear it when I ride my bicycle to the studio, and I think it would be perfect for riding my motorcycle. I am looking forward to colder weather and situations where I can wear this.
-And "Jackson Glacier" has been improved over the past 10 years to be completely waterproof.
Kamiyama: I see. Not many down jackets are completely waterproof. I am surprised to hear that this is completely waterproof. It's not enough to update everything, but I think it's important to keep updating things in manufacturing, and I think it's great that you were able to make it completely waterproof after more than 10 years of improvement. Weather is crucial in the outdoors, so I feel very secure. Of course, you can also feel that sense of security when wearing it around town.
