No cold in winter

NANGA's power stretch balaclava provides warmth and comfort even in extreme cold. It is made of 4-way stretch material that stretches flexibly to match your body movements, making it extremely comfortable to wear. It is moderately thick, yet breathable and light, so you can wear it comfortably and warmly even in harsh environments.

Wear warmth and functionality

This power stretch balaclava uses POLARTEC® POWER STRETCH®, which has excellent 4-way stretchability. It fits perfectly to any movement and is comfortable like a second skin. With a smooth and supple surface and luxurious micro-brushed micro fleece on the skin side, it is both warm and gentle to the touch. In addition, the 2-way design allows you to use it as a stylish neck warmer by lowering the hood.

This functional and sophisticated design of the power stretch balaclava makes it the perfect gift for someone special. This is a warm accessory that you would like to give to those who enjoy outdoor activities and winter sports as a hobby.

Domestic production to maintain quality

While many of our competitors are shifting production overseas, NANGA continues to produce domestically. The reason is to maintain quality. There is a unique manufacturing background to down, where expensive down is often counterfeited in terms of origin and country of manufacture, making it difficult for anyone other than the producer to verify its quality. We produce domestically because we have a strong desire to hand over the product to our users with confidence, carrying out a series of tasks from washing the down to sewing and inspection by hand.

Another point that is indispensable when talking about NANGA is the Japanese craftsmen. Our sewing techniques are unique, and we have gathered know-how to meet a wide range of demands, from mountaineers who put their lives at risk to weekend hikers. Only Japanese craftsmen who are good at detailed work can achieve a beautiful finish, as well as high durability and comfort.

Continuing the challenge to overcome difficulties on the high peaks of the Himalayas

NANGA was founded in 1941 as Yokota Sewing, which manufactured kotatsu futons and futon mattresses. In the 1960s, the company changed its name to NANGA in order to continue manufacturing in Japan, and became known not only in Japan but also among mountaineers around the world as a manufacturer of sleeping bags and down using high-quality down. NANGA is the name of Nanga Parpat, the ninth highest mountain in the world, located in the Himalayas, with an altitude of 8,125m. It is known for being extremely difficult to climb and having many people lost in the mountains, but the reason behind using the mountain's name as the brand name is the strong will to continue the challenge to overcome the most difficult conditions. The philosophy of manufacturing is honesty, simplicity, and strength. They are thoroughly particular about the safety and quality of the feathers, and even offer a lifetime guarantee on their sleeping bags. We hope that the down jackets and sleeping bags we make will give everyone who uses them a sense of safety, security, and comfort.
