What is Techwear Clothing?
Techwear, short for technical wear, is clothing that’s designed to go the boundaries of traditional apparel. That means clothing that offers top levels of functionality, comfort, and adaptability. All without compromising style.
You’ll spot techwear through the use of high-tech materials. Or through features such as water-resistance, breathability, and on-the-go adaptability. In short, techwear is clothing that works for you through the day, wherever the adventure takes you.
What are the benefits of Techwear?
Techwear is designed to protect, simplify and enable. Here are some key advantages of a top techwear piece:
Enhanced performance and comfort: Discover the power of functional materials. Breathability, moisture-wicking and more. So, you stay comfortable in a range of climates.
Durability: Quality techwear is made from robust materials that are meant to last. Features like taped seams and water-resistant coatings keep you dry. Plus, they keep the garment in first-class condition for many seasons to come.
Practicality: Techwear makes it easy to carry everyday essentials. Great when you’re hiking or trekking – or just on the daily commute for style and functionality.
Protection against the elements: Techwear excels when it comes to keeping rain, wind, and even light snow at bay. Crucial if the conditions are unpredictable.
Eco-conscious options: Quality techwear often incorporates recycled materials, offering a more sustainable option. That means a lighter mark on the planet. Discover more about Napapijri Sustainability here.
Introducing the Rainforest Tech Jacket
Our Rainforest Tech jacket is a top highlight of our techwear range this season. Whether you’re looking for an all-rounder for the outdoors, or just a functional option for everyday, here's what makes it stand out:
Waterproof and breathable fabric: The jacket features a waterproof rating of 3000 mmH2O, suitable for light rain and snow. Plus it has a breathability score of 3000G/m2 per 24 hours. This ensures that you stay dry from the outside without ever feeling clammy on the inside.
Advanced insulation: Discover superior warmth without the bulk. Equipped with Thermo-Fibre™ insulation, the rainforest Tech jacket uses microsphere technology that traps warm air.
Critically taped seams: To boost the jacket’s water resistance, its seams are critically sealed. That stops water leakage through the main seams even during prolonged exposure to rain.
Functional design features: Discover extra warmth elements, ventilation eyelets and a mesh on the lining for improved air circulation. The jacket also has inner cuffs with thumbholes, an adjustable hem, and a variety of pockets for practical storage.
Eco-friendly materials: Stay true to a sustainable ethos. The Rainforest Tech jacket is made with at least 30% recycled materials.
Aesthetic appeal: With its sleek design, the jacket incorporates mixed materials, patches, and printed details. So it looks just as good as it performs.
In short, our Rainforest Tech jacket is an iconic piece that pushes the boundaries of functional fashion. Whether you're braving the urban jungle or exploring the wilderness, this jacket will keep on performing.
