NANGA / HINOC Lim Hood Down Jacket 2026 Model

NANGA
Founded in 1941 in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture, NANGA is a down product manufacturer committed to domestic production. Using safe, high-quality down and proprietary sewing techniques, it is widely regarded as one of Japan’s leading brands for winter down outerwear.

A Down Jacket That Fits, Rather Than Wears You
The key to maximizing the warmth of a down jacket is choosing a well-fitting size that minimizes gaps between the body and the jacket.

This exclusive model features well-balanced Japanese sizing that avoids excessive volume, along with an extensive seven-size range from XXS to XXL. Designed to accommodate a wide range of body types, it makes it easier to find a fit that feels just right.





Refined for the City, Resistant to Flying Sparks
One concern around winter campfires is damage caused by flying sparks. NANGA’s proprietary flame-resistant “HINOC” fabric addresses this with a highly durable material comparable in strength to those used in firefighting gear.

This flame-resistant fabric blends polyester with Kevlar and is distinguished by its crisp, matte texture. Compared with the standard Aurora Down, it has a more urban appearance that feels equally at home in the office.

※Due to the nature of this specialized fabric, pilling may occur from friction. Please understand this as a characteristic of the material, and use a fabric shaver or similar tool if pilling develops.

※This material is flame-resistant, not fireproof. Please take care to avoid prolonged contact with sparks or flames.

※The fabric has light water repellency, but water may soak in if left wet. Please wipe away moisture promptly.



Exceptional Warmth with Enhanced Moisture Resistance
For the 2026 model, the previous recycled down has been replaced with NANGA’s premium Spanish down, composed of 90% down and 10% feather. It also features “UDD DX,” in which the down is treated with an ultra water-repellent finish to help address a common concern in outdoor settings: wet down can lose its loft and insulating performance. Even when exposed to condensation, perspiration, or an unexpected light shower, the down retains its loft and continues to provide reliable warmth.

The fill weight is optimized at 140g to complement the character of the flame-resistant HINOC fabric (130g for size XXS). By deliberately avoiding excessive volume, the jacket achieves an ideal balance between a refined urban silhouette that highlights the matte texture of the fabric and dependable protection against the cold.



This down jacket has a fill power of 770 FP. While down with a fill power of over 700 FP is generally considered high-quality, this jacket strikes an excellent balance between lightness and warmth, making it a highly practical choice.

A Sleek Look with Direct-Fill Construction
A direct-fill construction is used to enhance both the design and lightweight feel, with the down placed directly between the outer fabric and lining. Due to the nature of the construction process, some down may adhere to the fabric or work its way through the seams. This does not affect the quality of the product.





Ready for Bad Weather and Everyday Wear
The full-coverage hood can be secured with a drawcord, keeping it comfortably in place even in windy conditions.





The front is equipped with a water-resistant double zipper.



The cuffs and hem can be cinched securely to help block out cold winter air.



The jacket features side and chest pockets, along with additional pockets on both sides of the inner lining behind the front zipper.





Ideal for Everyday City Wear
Despite its excellent warmth and technical performance, the silhouette remains clean and refined, avoiding the bulk often associated with outdoor wear. A serious winter jacket designed to become an indispensable part of everyday life.
