Basic knowledge of mountain parka

Mountain parka is now developed by many fashion brands as well as outdoor brands, but SIERRA DESIGNS, founded in Richmond, California in 1965, introduced the “Original 60/60” in 1968. The original “Original 60/40 Mountain Parka” was introduced to the world in 1968 by SIERRA DESIGNS, which was founded in Richmond, California in 1965. While the functional design of the iconic leather cookie, large flap pockets, and raglan sleeves are appealing, it should be noted that the fabric used was revolutionary at the time. The 60/40 fabric (commonly known as “Rokyon Cloth”), which uses 60% high-strength cotton for the weft and 40% high-density nylon for the warp, was adopted, and when wet, the cotton expands and compresses the nylon to prevent rain penetration, and when dry, the natural breathability of the cotton creates a comfortable environment within the garment. This is a high-function parka that anticipates the breathable, moisture-repellent materials of the current era.
