Aurora Light Down Jacket Mikami

High-end model boasting lightness and warmth
The new "Mikami" Aurora Light Down Jacket incorporates the construction theory of the "Level 7" outerwear, which boasts the strongest cold protection performance in the ECWCS.

This high-end model is named after Mount Mikami in Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture, which is also known as Omi Fuji.

The box quilt structure used in sleeping bags has been partially adopted to further improve heat retention. Furthermore, by using fabrics with excellent waterproofing and moisture permeability, and luxuriously encasing 860FP high quality SPDX (Polish Goose Down) feathers, it is finished to provide an unparalleled feeling of being wrapped up in a sleeping bag.






NANGA
Born in 1941 in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture. Nanga is a manufacturer of down products that continues to focus on domestic production. NANGA uses safe, high-quality down and produces it with its own unique sewing technology. It is known as the leading brand of winter down outerwear in Japan.








Ultralightweight material with excellent moisture permeability, heat retention, and water repellency
NANGA's original "AURORA-TEX LIGHT," a waterproof, breathable, and lightweight fabric, is used as the main fabric. Although thin, it has a water pressure resistance of 20,394mm and a permeability of 24,116m2/24hrs, making it one of NANGA's highest spec waterproof breathable fabrics.

The lining fabric is made of thin 10dn recycled nylon, which provides soft comfort and efficient transfer of body heat to the down, resulting in excellent heat retention.






Polish White Goose Down
White goose down boasting "860 fill power" is used for the down. With its overwhelming warmth and volume, it is no exaggeration to say that it is truly a "wearable sleeping bag" that gently envelops the body.

Supple, soft, and comfortable to the body
Goose raised in Europe are carefully nurtured in vast areas without stress, resulting in bulky and strong feathers.

The feathers are supple and soft, the down is comfortable and conforms to the body, and the down balls give it a voluminous texture. This makes it wonderful with lots of small air-filled spaces, rich in warmth, insulation, and elasticity.








Convenient and abundant storage
Matte-textured watertight zips are used for zips in various locations. The front has a double zip for convenient silhouette changes and ventilation.

Each pocket is made large, so it is easy to get your stuff in and out. The bottom of the chest pocket has a unique structure that separates it from the main body, and is made with comfort in mind so that the inside of the chest pocket does not interfere directly with the body.



The interior of the side pocket is designed with hand warmers to keep warm. The inside has a mesh pocket and a zipper pocket for ample storage.






Functionality unique to an outdoor brand
The draft tube in the hood and the center back adjuster effectively hold the head in place and keep heat out.



The drawcord hem, Velcro cuffs, and jersey inner cuffs eliminate gaps for cold air to enter and keep the wearer warm.



The distinctive side zip at the neck opens to a mesh fabric ventilation feature, allowing for temperature control while enjoying the design changes.






Evolved heat retention
Warmth is improved by making two layers of down in the front. Furthermore, the box quilt structure used in Nanga sleeping bags is adopted for the wrists, where cold air tends to penetrate, and the back, where the cold is more easily felt, to prevent heat leakage from the stitching, thereby achieving the maintenance of high heat retention.
