Dries quickly even when wet

A rash guard is a type of swimwear worn for marine sports such as surfing, originally intended to protect the skin from UV rays. Due to its comfort and quick-drying properties, more and more people are using it for sports such as yoga and outdoor activities such as camping.

NANGA's rash guard hoodie has been designed to be a zip-up hoodie that will look natural even when walking around town. This amphibious wear is not limited to summer leisure activities, but can be used in a variety of situations, from daily running to small shopping trips. The zip-up design makes it easy to put on and take off, and it is a reliable piece that you can quickly put on after playing in the water or on a windy day when you feel cold.

A must-have item for summer leisure activities

The rash guard material has excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, and even if it gets wet, it dries quickly and is comfortable to wear. It is light and fits your body well, making it comfortable enough to make you want to wear it all the time. In addition, the seams are flattened to minimize interference with the body and ensure maximum comfort.

NANGA's rash guards are also designed with UV protection in mind. The hood completely covers the head, making UV protection more effective and protecting the skin even in the summer when UV rays are strong. The thumb holes on the cuffs are designed to cover the back of the hand even when moving your arms.

There are pockets on both sides that fit your hands snugly, allowing you to carry valuables such as smartphones and wallets. The inside of the pockets are made of mesh material, so they do not get stuffy and drain water easily. The NANGA logo and slogan "BELIEVE IN YOUR ADVENTURES" are printed on the left sleeve. The NANGA logo is also added to the chest, creating a subtle accent.

Continuing the challenge to overcome difficulties on the high peaks of the Himalayas

NANGA was founded in 1941 as Yokota Sewing, which manufactured kotatsu futons and futon mattresses. In the 1960s, the company changed its name to NANGA in order to continue manufacturing in Japan, and became known not only in Japan but also among mountaineers around the world as a manufacturer of sleeping bags and down using high-quality down. NANGA is the name of Nanga Parpat, the ninth highest mountain in the world, located in the Himalayas, with an altitude of 8,125m. It is known for being very difficult to climb and having many people lost in the mountains, but the reason behind using the mountain's name as the brand name is the strong will to continue the challenge to overcome the most difficult conditions.

The philosophy of manufacturing is honesty, simplicity, and strength. They are thoroughly particular about the safety and quality of the feathers, and even offer a lifetime guarantee on their sleeping bags. We hope that the down jackets and sleeping bags we make will give everyone who uses them a sense of safety, security, and comfort.
