What is the appeal of Mizusawa Down, the strongest down? Page 3

Mizusawa Down’s Noteworthy Detail (4) “WATERPROOF,” a surprisingly water-repellent material.

The surface of Mizusawa Down down jackets is highly water-repellent. In addition, water tends to enter through gaps in the seams of conventional down jackets, but Mizusawa Down overcomes this weakness by minimizing stitching and using thermal bonding and other techniques, and by applying water-repellent tape to close the seams. The absence of surface seams is also unique in terms of design. Although there are brands such as ” Mackintosh ” that have become famous with a similar technology, the reality is that only a limited number of manufacturers have adopted this technology due to the many processes, increased costs, and difficulty of the technology. This is a point that shows how intricately Mizusawa Down is made.

Mizusawa Down’s Noteworthy Detail #5: “BUILT IN CUFF” created with the latest technology.

The cuff adjusting straps attached to the sleeves of ordinary coats are made by sewing the straps into the sleeves, but Mizusawa Down has succeeded in adding an adjuster to a single sleeve by using laser processing instead of a sewing machine for the cuffs. In other words, the design does not allow water to enter through the cuffs because there are no seams. This thoroughness is the quintessential Mizusawa Down.

Mizusawa Down’s most notable detail (6) “HEAT NAVI,” which generates heat from nature.

HEAT NAVI, Descente’s original heat-retaining material used for the lining, efficiently absorbs sunlight and converts it into heat to keep you warm. In addition to the fundamental warmth of a down jacket, the use of a heat-generating material is a godsend. The use of heat generated by the power of nature is also said to be eco-friendly.
