DOWN JACKET

As November draws to a close, the city has fully shifted into early-winter mode. Even so, the temperatures haven’t completely dropped, and there are still moments during the day when you feel like taking your jacket off. It seems the real winter chill is still a little ways ahead.

In recent years, the abrupt swings between warm and cold have made seasonal transitions feel incredibly short. But this year feels different — almost as if we’ve been given time to prepare for the harsher months ahead, a reminder of Japan’s more traditional four seasons. Still, the bitter, hand-numbing winter will undoubtedly arrive again this year. With that in mind, now is the perfect time to find a proper winter outerwear piece.

Something more than just warm — something stylish, functional, built to last, yet with just the right amount of modern appeal. (Greedy, I know.)

And that’s exactly the kind of desire fulfilled by the nonnative EXPLORER DOWN JACKET featured here. Returning again this year, the model has been updated with a cleaner look by removing chest pockets and other details from last season.

This season, it comes in two fabrics: NYLON MINI RIPSTOP and NYLON RIPSTOP. The former offers a smooth, soft feel. The latter is structured and more durable. Even though both are nylon, they differ completely in appearance and comfort. With adjustable drawcords at the hood and hem, high-quality down packed tightly inside, and the familiar GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER® for advanced performance… This down jacket is packed with the kind of thoughtful features and functionality that define nonnative.
We invite you to try it on in store and feel the difference for yourself.
