Redefine how you layer this Winter. The Zanter Japan Down Parka Jacket is the result of time-tested development in the coldest climates in the world, and packs more warmth and durability than any other down jacket in the market. Given their rich history spanning over 60 years, Zanter's experience speaks for itself when we dig deep into the details of their product.
This jacket is insanely warm, something you will notice as soon as you put it on. But don't just take our word for it, there is a quantifying number that suggests the number of cubic inches that one ounce of down feather occupies, and it is known as Fill Power (FP). Clocking in at 800FP, this dizzying number is undeniable proof that this jacket is capable of easily combatting sub-zero temperatures. A strip of "MOFF" mesh lining is used around the neck, an area especially vulnerable to moisture from sweat and blowing snow. The jacket also features a detachable hood making it superbly adaptable. There is also absolutely no shortage of storage space, with oversized pockets featured both on the exterior and interior of the jacket. Secured with an inner zipper opening and oversized tagua nut button front placket, there is simply no room left for the harshest of elements to breach.
Zanter is heralded as the first brand to produce Down wear in Japan. The first pieces were worn in 1956 by members of the Manaslu Expedition Corps as well as the Antarctic Observation Corps. Zanter has continued to produce the highest quality Japanese Down wear by selecting only the finest materials and using well-honed production methods.
Locally sourced high-quality down feathers are extremely difficult to come by, at the most only 10g can be found on the chest area of a suitable Waterfowl. The quality of feathers is also greatly affected by breeding method, environment and feed during infancy. These carefully selected feathers then go through a thorough process of washing, drying, dehydration, sterilization and dust removal which results in Down that not only has excellent heat retention properties, but is also durable and sanitary.
