Light, compact and most importantly it keeps you warm!
Uniqlo has recently launched its Ultra Light Down (ULD) line for the 2014 Fall Winter season, featuring a collection expanded from the 2013 line, to build on down’s versatility, with signature lightness and warmth. Along with the popular jackets, vests, and Compact Down (that doubles as innerwear), new products this year include an even warmer ULD parka, all new quilted pattern jackets and vests, and much more.
New this season is a men’s parka, with aluminum printing on the lining, to reflect radiant heat, providing even greater warmth – the same principle as a thermos bottle. Jointly developed with Toray, it is ideal for long periods in the cold, in that the new material reflects around 1.5 times the heat of ordinary ULD. A special processing ensures that the parka retains its softness, despite the printing, while the lattice pattern keeps the material lightweight. Careful attention to detail, such as zipper seams, further enhances warmth retention.
For the first time, ULD jackets for women and ULD vests come in a “diamond” quilt design – suitable for both casual and more formal occasions, while the men’s line includes jackets with a “square quilt” pattern.
The ULD coat line has expanded, also offering both casual and more formal options. In the men’s line, Uniqlo features a new half-length business coat, suitable over a blazer jacket. Design details include left and right-hand pockets, and a hidden front zipper. The coat is also portable – useful for unexpected business trips.
The collection is available at all major Uniqlo stores. Log onto their website for more information.
