In recent years, traveling to cold regions such as Korea, Japan or Europe at the end of the year has become a popular travel trend for many young people and families. This is also the time when winter coats are sought after, but the reality is that everyone is reluctant to bring heavy coats when traveling, no matter how warm they are. Therefore, finding a coat that is both warm and light, easy to wear and can cope with many different types of weather is a concern for many people.

To solve this difficult problem, Uniqlo has created Pufftech, a new generation of quilted jackets with many outstanding advantages compared to conventional quilted jackets. No longer having to be really thick and heavy to keep warm, this product line was born and brought a new definition of winter jackets: light but warm. Lightweight but warm, flexible to adapt to all unpredictable weather conditions of the cold season with a modern design, Pufftech is the typical model of the new generation of winter jackets.

The New Generation Jacket: Light and Warm

The new Pufftech technology is the result of a proud collaboration between Uniqlo and Toray Industries, a nearly century-old technology corporation specializing in the production of carbon fiber used to make rockets as well as Boeing's commercial aircraft. Researched and developed since 2019, the product is inspired by the combination of a down jacket and unique insulation quilting technology.

The thermal insulation quilted layer is made of Pufftech fibers with a hollow 3D twisted structure that helps to store the maximum amount of air inside each fiber, thereby increasing the ability to keep warm. These fibers are also super thin, only 1/5 the thickness of a human hair, so the shirt is extremely light and comfortable to wear. It can be mentioned that the weight of the men's quilted Parka is only equivalent to a 500ml water bottle, or the women's vest is only as light as a lemon. With this shirt, winter is no longer synonymous with the bulkiness of thick, heavy shirts, but instead is comfort and flexibility.

Flexible features, comfortable to wear

One of the typical problems with quilted shirts is that cotton fibers leak through the fabric surface. This disadvantage is overcome in Pufftech when the fibers are interwoven to form round cotton rolls and are quilted directly into the shirt, creating a durable whole, thereby minimizing the leakage of cotton through the fabric.

Not only does it provide warmth in dry cold weather, Pufftech synthetic fibers also have the ability to effectively retain warmth in rainy, foggy weather or when humidity is above 90%. In addition, the outer fabric layer is also waterproof, making it easier than ever to deal with sudden light rains.

The Pufftech quilted jacket also has anti-static properties regardless of how dry the air is or when it comes into contact with a sweater. By weaving static elastic fibers into the elastic fibers of the inner layer, Uniqlo has created an effective anti-static jacket that provides complete comfort when wearing and moving.

Ideal choice for long trips

At the end of the year, when the demand for travel is increasing, Pufftech is the right shirt to have in your luggage. Whether it is a place with low temperature, erratic weather, sometimes cold, sometimes deep cold or sudden rain, this product is a versatile, reliable companion for anyone.

In particular, even on long trips, the wearer can quickly clean the shirt when necessary. Because the Pufftech shirt is made from synthetic fibers, it can be hand washed in warm water while still maintaining its shape, and can be dried naturally after just one night.

Modern design, diverse models, easy to combine

Not only “warm and light”, the Pufftech product line is also “warm and beautiful” with 18 diverse designs, from hooded jackets, relaxed jackets to lightweight vests, with a variety of quilted patterns with many options such as diamonds, squares... Each family member can freely choose the design they like, ensuring warmth and aesthetics throughout the winter.

In addition, the wearer can completely combine Pufftech shirts with Heattech shirts to increase the warmth retention effect, or combine them with wool coats, sweatshirts, and fleece jackets to create unique outfits, expressing their own style.

With superior technology, a balance between warmth and flexibility, comfort, and a simple yet stylish design, the Pufftech quilted jacket is an indispensable product in everyone's winter wardrobe as well as cold-country travel luggage.
