As we all know, the great outdoors is a tough testing ground for outdoor kit – and not every piece of apparel makes the grade. But the Takibi Camping parka is built to handle plenty of punishment, especially when campfires are involved. ‘Takibi’ means bonfire in Japanese, so takibi time is simply the act of gathering around a campfire, an elemental outdoor experience. And that’s exactly why the cult Japanese brand have devised a capsule collection of clothing designed specifically for special campfire moments. This robust parka is made from Teijin Conex Neo fabric, sourced from Japanese textile mills in Snow Peak’s home city of Niigata. This is a blend of organic cotton and aramid fibres – the same stuff used in firefighting suits and bulletproof vests. It makes for a super-durable jacket that is resistant to stray embers and sparks from the campfire. The fabric is also finished with a water-resistant treatment for even better weatherproof protection

How to measure
Sustainability through longevity - Snow Peak products are designed and built to last a lifetime. They submit all of their outdoor hard goods to the highest standards of engineering and testing to ensure long-lasting durability in even the most challenging outdoor conditions. If a product requires service, Snow Peak will repair or exchange it.
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
