Yamatomichi All Weather Alpha Jacket
■Manufacturer's description quoted.
All-weather action wear in mid-winter.
In snowy mountains, you have to be more careful with layering than in summer mountains. No matter how cold it is, you will get hot when hiking up, but if you wear light clothing, you will cool down quickly during breaks.
Active insulation has reduced the hassle of taking it on and off due to its warmth and breathability, but it could not withstand ridge storms and snowstorms in severe winter, and down jackets get hot when you move and you want to take them off as soon as you are indoors.
The All-weather Alpha Jacket solves that problem by combining the breathable and warm Polartec Alpha Direct with the equally breathable, waterproof and lightweight Pertex Shield Air. It's more comfortable on the move and in warmer conditions, and can withstand storms and snowstorms.
Wear this and you'll never have to worry about mid-winter layering again. Now it's all about what you do.
■ Product features.
Outer fabric Pertex Shield Air to protect against any storms and snow.
Polartec Alpha Direct (136 g/m2) with warmth-retaining lining.
More breathable than down jackets, less stuffy and more comfortable during action
Integrated hardshell and insulation, yet comfortable during lodging and stagnation.
Helmet-compatible hoods.
High water repellency due to C6 DWR.
Pit zips for quick ventilation.
One piece of clothing doubles as action and warm clothing.
*Changes for the 2024 model year*.
Reduced use of fleece material in the hood neck area to reduce freezing due to exhalation.
The pattern shape of the side sections has been changed to prevent damage due to interference with the hip belt of the backpack.

■ Weaknesses and precautions for use
... poor sustainability of water repellency.
It is said that the thicker the fabric, the greater the amount of water repellent that can penetrate, and the higher the water repellent's lasting performance, but the Pertex Shield Wear UL All-weather series uses the thinnest, most breathable outer fabric possible in order to emphasise lightness and breathability. As a result, the fabric has sufficient water repellent performance at the shipping stage, but the sustained water repellent performance is lower than that of thicker, breathable waterproof fabrics.
When the water repellent function is active, water on the surface of the fabric falls off in droplets, but when it weakens, it covers the fabric surface like a water film, impairing its moisture permeability and causing the inside of the garment to steam or get wet due to condensation.
If you feel that the water repellency has decreased, you can restore water repellency by applying heat with a hairdryer or similar after washing. If the water repellency is still not restored, use a commercially available water repellent to take care of the water repellency.
■Precautions for use.
-This product has an outer layer of ultra-thin waterproof, breathable fabric. Please take care not to damage or tear this product due to rock rubbing, trees snagging, etc.
To maximise waterproof breathability, care is required after wearing. Dirt, perspiration and sebum will impair performance. Wash regularly according to the washing instructions.
If the water repellent function of the fabric surface is lost, the moisture permeability will also be lost. If you feel that the water repellent performance has decreased, apply heat to the fabric after washing and drying, e.g. with a hairdryer, to restore the water repellent properties. However, repeated washing will cause the initial water repellent to degrade and the water repellent will not return even if heat is applied. In this case, use a commercially available water repellent and care for it regularly.
Due to the extremely lightweight and thin porous material, products containing Vaseline, insecticide or ethanol (e.g. hair cream, cosmetics, sunscreen, insect repellent) may adhere to the fabric, causing staining and reducing the moisture permeability function.
■ Product care
The product is difficult to drain water that has entered between the outer and lining fabrics, and if a washing machine is used, the agitation during washing and rinsing may cause the fabric bonding points to be subjected to water pressure, which may cause the membrane to delaminate. To keep the product in good condition, always wash and rinse by hand. If the water does not run off after rinsing, the product can only be dehydrated in a washing machine on a short setting of 1 minute with the product turned inside out.
Use the washing machine only for dewatering; wash and rinse by hand.
Wash by hand in lukewarm water at a water temperature of around 30°C with a suitable amount of neutral detergent.
Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Partial washing of soiled areas using a sponge or similar in a detergent solution should be carried out.
Rinse thoroughly, as detergent residue can cause discolouration and damage water repellency.
For dehydration, turn the machine inside out and use the washing machine on a short setting of no more than 1 minute.
Do not use a dryer as it will hasten the deterioration of the bonded parts.
Hang-dry in the shade.
-Regularly apply heat with a hairdryer to revive the water repellent properties of the outer fabric.
Do not dry-clean as the adhesive will peel off.
Products containing Vaseline, insecticide or ethanol (e.g. hair cream, cosmetics, sunscreen, insect repellent) may stain the outer fabric and reduce its moisture permeability.
The specifications (logo position, colour, pattern position, etc.) may differ slightly from those of this product as the manufacturer's images are used.
