Lightweight & Thin, the All-Purpose New Wear from Montbell, the "EX Light Thermawrap Parka"

In outdoor brands, synthetic materials (synthetic insulation) are commonly used as filling for cold weather gear alongside down. This season, brands outside the outdoor sector are continuously releasing garments that highlight the functionality of synthetic insulation, and its benefits are becoming widely recognized. The era in which we can simplify "warm = down" is over.
 
Embracing the unique functionality of synthetic insulation "Exceloft" early on and evolving it further, "Montbell (stylized "mont-bell")" has introduced this fall/winter season a new item that can be widely utilized: the "EX Light Thermawrap Parka," which gets more impressive the more you learn about it. I spoke with Tetsushi Hosako from the Public Relations Department of mont-bell Co., Ltd.

The Versatility of the Synthetically Insulated "Stretch Exceloft" that Down Cannot Compete With!

While being lightweight and thin, this parka is sufficiently strong and possesses moderate insulation, quick-dry properties, and stretchability. When I tried it on, it was incredibly easy to wear. It uses the evolved version of synthetic insulation, "Stretch Exceloft," which incorporates stretch capabilities.
 
Many people still have a strong image that "when it's cold, you wear down," yet a significant number are now consulting in stores asking which is better for them, down or synthetic insulation. While both down and synthetic insulation have their pros and cons, the "EX Light Thermawrap Parka" featuring the functional material "Stretch Exceloft" is very comfortable to wear and offers more mobility compared to down, leading many to choose this option.
