■Quote from manufacturer's description
OctaCPCP used as fleece
The outdoor wear and active insulation categories have expanded rapidly in recent years.
Mainly overseas brands have been leading the way in product development. One of the filling materials for active insulation is TEIJIN OctaCPCP, which is lightweight and has high heat retention.

STATIC chose to use OctaCPCP, which is usually made of nylon as a lining material, as a single layer. This is because we thought that products from brands that develop in high altitude and dry climates are heavy because OctaCPCP is packed in a shell material, and it is often carried as a thermal garment in Japan, so it is difficult to layer.

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 the 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.
This polyester fabric is characterized by its lightness, warmth, and good heat dissipation. It is usually used as a lining, but STATIC uses it 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.

■Environmental friendliness
・From Fall/Winter 2023, we will be the first in the industry to use 53% recycled materials
・Recycling reduces CO2 emissions during fabric manufacturing by 23% compared to virgin polyester OctaCPCP
The yarn itself is 100% non-recycled polyester, but the dyeing process uses biomass (plant-based) materials instead of petroleum, and the textile waste generated during the production of the fabric is recycled.
・Name tags are also made using recycled yarn.

*OEKO-TEX certified
OEKO-TEX is a globally recognized mark of safety in the textile business, including certification of products that meet the world's highest standards of safety, covering over 350 types of hazardous substances, far exceeding Japanese safety standards, and certifying sustainable factories that take into consideration the burden on people involved in production and the environment.
