MILLET “TYPHON WARM NX STEEP” is attractive for its dry and comfortable wear that wicks away sweat.

In the 2023-24 season, ``Typhon Warm Steep'' was released as a ski/snowboard-focused garment that takes advantage of the characteristics of Millet's proprietary material ``Typhon,'' which is known for its high moisture permeability. Further pursuing the "dry comfort" that Millet is particular about, the 2024-25 season will feature even more waterproof and breathable performance as NX (Next). Introducing the ``TYPHON WARM NX STEEP'', a garment perfect for backcountry riding.

Updated with materials with improved waterproof specifications

Millet's ``Typhon Warm NX Steep'' is a highly functional jacket and pants. ``Functional'' means waterproofness, windproofness, ease of movement due to draping or elastic material, etc.For example, although we are particular about fashionability, we consider clothing that gets wet easily or is difficult to move in to be functional. I can't call.

What Millet has placed particular emphasis on is the balance between water resistance and moisture permeability. In other words, it's ``dry and comfortable to wear with good sweat removal.''

Many high-performance outerwear use high-performance materials called "waterproof and breathable materials." It not only blocks out snow and rain, but also has a ``moisture permeability'' function that allows hot, humid air (water vapor) inside the garment to escape. Although it is less familiar than waterproofness and windproofness, it is no exaggeration to say that the comfort of clothing is actually dependent on its moisture permeability.

For example, if the waterproofness of the material is simply increased, sweat that turns into water vapor will fill the inside of the garment, making the inside wet. Being stuffy and wet on a snowy mountain is extremely uncomfortable, and cooling yourself down in the backcountry in bad weather can lead directly to fatal hypothermia.

This is why Millet is so particular about "dry comfort." Dry and comfortable ski wear that wicks away sweat and keeps you dry from both the outside and inside is a guarantee of comfort and safety in the depths of winter.

The key to this is Dry Edge Typhon Warm, a unique waterproof and breathable material that has been updated. This season, the water pressure resistance has been increased from the previous 20,000 mm to 30,000 mm, and the moisture permeability has been reduced accordingly. This is a specification change in response to recent changes in the environment, where even during the high season it has become wet snow, sleet, and even rain.

However, even though the specs have changed, the comfort does not change; when you actually put the sleeves through them, they are soft and supple. The soft comfort that is another feature of the Typhon series remains intact.

Now, this "Typhon Warm NX Steep" is a piece of clothing that thoroughly pursues functionality in the backcountry. The 3D cutting and stretch material allow for unrestricted movement, and the jacket has great details such as zippers and pockets that can be used while wearing gloves. A safe and comfortable ski jacket and pants for the harsh mid-winter snowy mountains. Needless to say it is very comfortable to wear on the ski slopes at the same time.
