■Quote from manufacturer's description
OctaCPCP used as fleece
The outdoor wear and active insulation categories have expanded rapidly in recent years.
Foreign brands were primarily leading the way in product development.
One of the filling materials used in Active Insulation is TEIJIN OctaCPCP, a lightweight material with excellent heat retention.

At STATIC, we chose to use a single layer of OctaCPCP, a lining material that is usually made of nylon.
We thought that products from brands that develop in high altitude and dry climates would be heavy because OctaCPCP is packed in shell material, making it difficult to layer in Japan where it is often carried as thermal clothing.

Due to its special mesh structure, it is overwhelmingly lighter than fleece that is generally considered thin, weighing around 300g, and has an excellent heat retention to weight ratio and is highly portable, making it useful all year round.

・Use of recycled materials
The Octa fabric is made up of two types of fibre: polyester woolly fibre and polyester hollow octopus fibre.
Of this, 53.6% of the woolly yarn has been replaced with recycled polyester (ECOPET), reducing the environmental impact.
46.4% is ordinary polyester hollow octopus cross-section yarn.
By using recycled polyester, compared to virgin polyester OctaCPCP, the use of recycled polyester reduces CO2* emissions during fabric manufacturing by 23%. (*Calculation by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd. CO2 emissions from raw materials (polymers) to fabric shipment)

・What is OctaCPCP?
OctaCPCP is a mesh fleece material that combines irregular cross-section hollow polyester brushed fibers that act as heat-storing material with the outer mesh material.
Polyester fabric is characterized by its lightness, warmth, and good heat dissipation.
It is usually used as a lining, but at STATIC it is used as a standalone fleece.

■Material characteristics
・Lightweight: Approximately half the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter
・Sweat absorbing and quick drying: Approximately half the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter
-Heat insulation: The dead air contained in the space created by the hollow section and eight protrusions provides a heat insulation effect.
