Topo Designs is at it again with another killer, limited-run collection expanding the brand’s reach while staying true to its colorful roots. This time, it’s a rare three-company collaboration joining forces with two of Japan’s most celebrated niche outdoor brands, Nanga and Natal Designs, to release an equal number of unique collab pieces—a Down T-Shirt and Rover Shoulder Pack.
The Down T-Shirt($229) is a design most aren't likely familair with, but it’s been a signature piece of Nanga’s lineup for decades (the brand is 74 years old, after all). It features a nylon micro ripstop outer layer, a duck camo printed interior, and is filled with Ultra-Dry Down to ensure peak performance in varied conditions. Best of all, it stuffs into its own carrying sack for easy travel/use as a pillow when backpacking.
Much like down pants, don’t knock the down t-shirt until you’ve tried it.
