Snow Peak and Teijin to launch outdoor clothing range

Initially, fire resistant field coverall jackets and pants made from Teijin's Teijinconex, a meta-aramid fibre, will be sold at Snow Peak's store all across Japan.

The clothing offers high levels of heat resistance. Teijinconex is temperature resistant to above 400 degree Celsius and has a soft texture allowing mobility and comfort to the wearer.

Teijin is targeting mid- and lower-stream markets with high-performance materials that provide hybrid solutions in order to meet more diverse customer demands.

Teijinconex, a durable and heat-resistant fibre, is used for rugged outdoor clothing that can be worn safely around campfires. Fabric thickening techniques are used to improve heat-resistance and to provide fashionable and comfortable alternatives to traditional outdoor clothing. (HO)
