Recycling resources. Recirculating warmth.
Our guiding concept is circularity. In creating material that helps keep the wearer warm, we came up
with ways to optimize limited resources. The result is Re:nsulation.
A batting made with KODENSHI® — our proprietary fiber made from recycled synthetic fiber — Re:nsulation maintains warmth by reflecting far infrared rays that emanate from the body.
By reincarnating synthetic fiber and recycling body heat, Re:nsulation completes a sustainable circle of the Earth’s energy.

Comparison of thermal images
Using thermography, the performance of a jacket with KODENSHI® Re:nsulation was compared to one with typical synthetic fiber batting. After 20 minutes of wear, the jacket with KODENSHI® Re:nsulation showed a larger heat map of elevated body surface temperature.
