What is needed to endure extreme cold is neither eccentrically designed outerwear nor Showa-style guts, but outerwear that employs functional materials.

That's where Wild Things comes in. But if you think you're going to find a monster parka, a Denali jacket, or a Happy Jacket, you're wrong. These masterpieces are known by all, so let us introduce you to some of them.

Bivouac Loft Pullover ¥39,600

The rounded silhouette and the bursting orange color make for a striking piece. While based on an authentic outdoor jacket, it is finished with a pullover that can be easily and appropriately woven.

The slightly translucent material is SHINING NYLON, a high-density, lightweight material made of 10d recycled nylon that is soft and lightweight.

LOFTECH" is used for the padding. It is a performance-oriented synthetic fiber grain cotton with lightweight, durability, and water repellency. It has a warmth retention of nearly 700 fill power, which is as good as natural down, and it has excellent restoration durability.

Reversible belay jacket ¥35,200

A reversible jacket in fresh blue and yellow. The front side is the brand's well-known wave quilt, with the old "WILD CAT" logo reprinted on the name, giving it a retro outdoor feel. The details of the reverse side are left to the online site, but it has a solid design thanks to the stitching that does not reveal any stitches. It is a two-sided piece of clothing.

The material is "PERTEX QUANTUM" for both the front and back. It is thin, durable, lightweight, soft, and water-repellent. The padding is called "PRIMALOFT BLACK INSULATION," a high-performance insulating padding made of 100% recycled material. It is warm, water repellent, and durable.

Once again, we are impressed by Wild Things' thorough selection and use of materials, but it makes sense if we trace the origin of the company. The company was founded by John Borchard, an American mountaineer, and Marie Meunier, a French mountaineer and her husband, who pursued genuine functionality in the face of harsh natural conditions. From the time of the company's founding, it was highly trusted by mountaineers, and even received the endorsement of professionals, such as when it produced outerwear for the U.S. Army Special Forces for use in extremely cold climates.

Although the shapes may differ, all of Wild Things' outerwear has reliable functions. Why not take a look at some of our other masterpieces as well?
