First, can you tell us what "PUFFTECH" is?
This is a functional insulation developed in collaboration with Toray, a material manufacturer specializing in advanced materials. It mimics the structure of natural down using synthetic fibers and achieves high thermal insulation by creating layers that hold a large amount of air. "PUFFTECH" is the name of this insulation and also the name of the outerwear that utilizes it.
