Millet's unique material, "Typhon," is known for its high breathability. Taking advantage of these characteristics, the "Typhon Warm Steep" is a piece of clothing focused on skiing and snowboarding. Let's take a look at some examples of layering outfits for the season, centered around this outerwear
What are the characteristics of "Typhon Warm Steep"?
Typhon is a material that has a water resistance of 20,000mm and a breathability of 50,000g/m²/24h. It not only protects against moisture from the outside of the garment, but also actively expels vapor that tends to accumulate inside the garment. At the same time, it has high stretchability, allowing you to move freely in all directions without any restrictions
The jacket's comfort comes from the exquisite combination of a 50-denier outer fabric that's slightly twisted to give it stretch, an ultra-thin membrane, and a soft, brushed tricot lining. The brushed tricot lining traps dead air for warmth. The
waterproof seams that join the brushed fabrics together are the result of advanced technical expertise cultivated over many years.
It also has many convenient features for skiing. Its stretchy and three-dimensional cut allows for easy movement, wide-open ventilation for breathability, a helmet-compatible hood with inner cuffs to keep out the cold, large gusseted pockets, and a removable snow skirt make it perfect for hiking and riding. It can be worn in any situation, from ski resorts to backcountry

Layering example centered around a shell that wicks away sweat
A highly breathable outer shell can perform to its full potential when layered underneath
First, put on Drynamic Mesh underwear, which is made from a mesh-knitted hydrophobic polypropylene material that keeps the skin warm even when you sweat, and then layer on top of that merino wool, which has excellent temperature regulation and heat retention properties. This forms the base
For the mid-layer, the Active Insulation Breeze Barrier Toy Jacket offers excellent breathability and sweat management, even when you're active. Its moderate stretch and three-dimensional cut that doesn't restrict movement make it comfortable, combined with the easy-to-move shell
This layering is a classic combination for Typhon Warm Steep. It is a set that is worn daily by people such as Hidekazu Yokoyama, a ski instructor and ski guide in Hakuba, Takahiko Seki, who is based in Okushiga Kogen, and Yukiyasu Matsuzawa, president of the Hakuba Mountain Guides Association
Base Layer & Underwear
From left to right:
Waffle Wool HD Hoodie
Sizes: XS-S, ML | Colors: 4 colors | ¥19,250
This waffle fabric incorporates high-quality, 18.5-micrometer ultra-fine merino wool. The ultra-fine merino wool makes it soft to the touch, and the seamless finish means no chafing or stress when moving. Computer-knitted areas like the underarms and back, where heat builds up and sweat easily, have a coarser waffle weave for breathability.
Drynamic Mesh 3/4 Sleeve Crew.
Sizes: SM, L-XL, XXL. Colors: 4 colors available. Price: ¥7,040.
This undergarment is perfect for year-round activities. Made with a highly hydrophobic, low-thermal-conductivity polypropylene base and knitted with a fluffy mesh, it quickly absorbs sweat from the skin and distributes it to the base layer. The thickness of the mesh keeps the base layer away from the skin, preventing it from touching the skin even when wet with sweat, helping to keep you dry.
Super Power 3/4 Pants
Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL | Color: 1 color | 16,500 yen These
3/4 length thermal pants won't interfere with your boots. They're made with Polartec Power Stretch, which has excellent stretch, a soft feel, and high durability.
Drynamic Mesh 3/4 Tights
