2026 product specification updates
Update to the waist belt construction on bottoms

Update to the dyeing method for 100% Light Merino
We revised the dyeing method from yarn dyeing, where the yarn is dyed before weaving, to piece dyeing, where the fabric is dyed after weaving. This helps reduce unevenness on the fabric surface.
Update to the fabrics used for UL All-weather Hoody/Pants
We updated the construction to combine two waterproof-breathable fabrics, Pertex Shield Air and Shield Pro, improving water resistance without losing the airy feel.
