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 comfort of wearing this jacket comes from the exquisite combination of three elements: a 50-denier outer fabric that has been slightly twisted back to provide stretch, an ultra-thin membrane, and a soft, brushed tricot lining. The brushed tricot lining traps dead air, providing warmth.
The waterproof seams that bond these brushed fabrics are a testament to the advanced technology cultivated over the 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 Waffle Wool Hoodie
Sizes: XS-S, ML | Colors: 4 colors | ¥19,250
Made with high-quality 18.5 micrometer ultrafine merino wool in a waffle weave. Thanks to the ultrafine merino wool, it has a soft feel against the skin, and the seamless finish provides stress-free comfort without chafing when moving. Computer knitting is used to make the waffle weave looser in areas prone to heat buildup and sweating, such as the underarms and back, to improve breathability.
• Drynamic Mesh 3/4 Sleeve Crew
Sizes: SM, L-XL, XXL | Colors: 4 colors | ¥7,040
This base layer can be used for activities throughout the year. Made from a highly hydrophobic, low-thermal-conductivity polypropylene base, it is knitted with a bulky mesh that quickly absorbs sweat from the skin and spreads it to the base layer. The thickness of the mesh keeps the base layer away from the skin, making it easier to maintain dryness even when wet with sweat as it does not touch the skin.
• Super Power 3/4 Pants
Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL | Color: 1 color | ¥16,500 These
3/4 length thermal pants won't interfere with boots. They feature Polartec Power Stretch fabric, offering excellent stretch, a supple feel, and high durability.
• Drynamic Mesh 3/4 Tights
Sizes: SM, L-XL | Colors: 4 colors | ¥6,160
Offers the same performance as the 3/4 Sleeve Crew. These 3/4 length tights, ideal for skiing, feature a three-dimensional knit in the buttocks area to create a beautiful hip line.
Mid Layer
•Breathebarrier Toi Jacket
Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL | Colors: 3 colors total | ¥36,800
This active insulation jacket uses "Through Warm," a highly breathable material that maintains moderate warmth, as the lining, and "Breeze Barrier," which combines water repellency and windproofness, as the outer fabric.
