Takashima is a city in Japan, located beside Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake. Known for its severe winters and heavy snowfall, as well as its autumnal showers, it’s a testing climate. Picture’s Takashima jacket is up to the task though. Offering warmth and great freedom of movement for dynamic activity, this hybrid insulated jacket has a tightly-woven ultralight shell plus Polartec Power Stretch fleece inserts under the arms for unlimited flexibility. It’s filled with 100g synthetic insulation for versatile, hardwearing warmth, and a PFC-free water repellent treatment will shrug off light drizzle. Zipped hand and chest pockets, plus elastic-bound hood, hem and cuffs complete the practical, streamlined feature set. It’s the perfect grab and go hybrid puffer for the colder seasons
