The Mizusawa Down Jacket

What makes it DESCENTE?

The starting point for Mizusawa Down - the product that remarkably became ALLTERRAIN - was a desire to create a unique, highly technical down jacket fundamentally different in concept from any that had excited.
Descente opted for a whole new approach, and instead of focusing on the traditional main issues such as lightness and fill power (i.e. the quality of the down itself), they initiated with a hard look at wearers problem points such as poor performance in rain or snowy conditions and downs which protrude through holes in the stitching. 
The result is the Mizusawa down, a very high-tech down jacket from its unique laser cut patterns, the structure of the down pack, the heat welded seams, and even the way the down is actually packed inside. 

What makes it BYBORRE?

BYBORRE brings their textile expertise to the partnership with BYBORRE INSIDE. 
The BYBORRE INSIDE reveals The On-Pattern 3D(TM) textile lining, designed to create an optimal airflow when worn. 
While developing the liner, blisters were designed for specific spots throughout the jacket patterns, corresponding to points on the wearer’s back that release the most heat. 
The highly technical designed airflow creates space between the jacket liner and the layer underneath; trapping heat where needed and proving optimal air circulation at targeted spots within the jacket. 
In order to enhance the already high performing garment, Byborre chose to utilize Meryl(R) Nylon, an industry leading nylon supplier who pushes the boundaries of performance, functionality and sustainability. 
The Meryl(R) Hydrogen yarns utilized in the liner fabric gives exceptional breathability, elasticity and soft feel. 

The Collaboration

The collaboration between Descente Allterrain and Byborre fetures a new inside textile engineered and developed for Descentes’ infamous Mizusawa Down Jacket. 
The BYBORRE INSIDE textile exemplifies DESCENTE ALLTERAIN’s high performing Mizusawa jacket through technical materials, radiant colors and functionality through knit design. 
The Descente Allterrain X BYBORRE hooded padded jacket features a high funnel neck, a drawstring hood, zip pockets at the chest, a front zip opening and long sleeves. It is waterproof and has a mesh panel between the front zips that prevents uncomfortable heat and moisture buildup. This Descente Allterrain X BYBORRE jacket has temperature control.
