Teton Bros, tsurugi jacket

When layering, it can sometimes be uncomfortable. The Tsurugi Jacket, a new release from Teton Bros available at Gray Shop, aims to address these issues. The Tsurugi Jacket is one of Teton Bros' most iconic products, beloved by mountaineers worldwide.

At first glance, the Tsurugi Jacket may seem a bit unconventional. It features a pullover style and a diagonal front zipper, departing from the typical hardshell design. However, these elements are not merely for unique aesthetics; they are designed with functionality in mind. The pullover style and diagonal zipper are chosen for improved mobility, especially when wearing a hip belt or harness. This eliminates the discomfort caused by a central zipper interfering with these accessories. The diagonal zipper, when opened, reveals a front storage pocket. Additionally, the diagonal zipper helps to alleviate the inconvenience of putting on and taking off the pullover.

The hood, designed to be worn with a helmet, includes stoppers and strings that allow adjustment both vertically and horizontally. The unique fixation method involves pulling and securing the strings on both sides after adjusting. The stoppers and strings for adjusting the hem are positioned at the front center rather than on the sides, preventing interference with gear loops when using a harness.

The fabric used in the Tsurugi Jacket is called "TASMA," a material developed in collaboration with TORAY through Teton Bros' partnership. TASMA is a membrane fabric made using ESP (electrically spun) technology, providing excellent waterproofing and breathability. Despite being a pullover, the Tsurugi Jacket offers optimal comfort and functionality, making it an ideal hardshell jacket for winter outdoor activities. If you're looking for a new hardshell jacket for your winter expeditions, consider adding the Tsurugi Jacket to your options.

Teton Bros' diverse product lineup, including the Tsurugi Jacket, is available at the Gray Shop online and offline stores.
