Material:
This product uses 4-way stretch (stretch in the vertical and horizontal directions) SOLOTEX® DRY. SOLOTEX® is a high-performance material which is developed by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd. that has both soft texture and morphological stability.

1."Outstanding soft feeling"
You may feel the softness of SOLOTEX® when you touch it. It surpasses cashmere, which is said to be a representative of high-end materials. It is smooth and provide unprecedented comfort. In addition, due to the soft feeling, it is possible to make full use of the texture of other composite fibers without damaging the texture.

2."Made of excellent shape recovery"
Due to its spring-like spiral molecular structure, it shows morphological recovery that "returns to origin" even when movement is applied. It is less likely to wrinkle and keeps a beautiful silhouette by suppressing the shape loss such as "elbow drop" and "knee drop". In addition, it does not expand or contract even after repeated washing and tumbler drying, and has excellent dimensional stability.

3."Light stretchability"
There is little feeling of tightening, and it can be freely expanded and contracted with a 4-way stretch that extends in the vertical and horizontal directions according to the movement of the body. The shirt will deliver a comfortable fit that allows you to move as you wish without feeling stress.

4."Plant-derived ingredients that are environmentally friendly"
Plant-derived materials are used for some of the polymers that make up SOLOTEX®. Its proportion is as high as 37% of all polymers. This reduces the consumption of new fossil resources and contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases. SOLOTEX® is a fiber that is kind to both people and the global environment.

5.SOLOTEX® DRY, which is also the fabric used this time, adds "high water absorption and quick drying" to the above characteristics.

Design :
-As the product name says "Big Pocket", it features large pockets on both chests. You can store small sports nutrition food, smartphones, map, sunglass etc. during hiking. (Women's size pockets are smaller than men's sizes.)

-As it is a 4-way stretch material that stretches vertically and horizontally, you can comfortably perform exercises such as curling your back and stretching your elbows. In a normal shirt, the shoulder line and sleeves have seams, but in this shirt, the body and sleeves are continuous, and both the shoulders and sleeves have a special pattern that does not have seams. As a result, the part that "rubs" when carrying the backpack is reduced as much as possible. Since there are no seams on the sleeves, the silhouette is very natural from the shoulders to the sleeves.

-"Twisted sleeves" made up of two parts, like the sleeves of a tailored jacket. Most shirts have straight sleeves, but the sleeves of this shirt have a twist. This causes the sleeve itself to swing forward three-dimensionally. Most shirt sleeves are straight, but human arms are not. A gusset is provided on the underside of the sleeve. As a result, more range of motion can be secured on the sides when raising the sleeves, supporting the smoothness of raising the sleeves.

-The sleeves are designed with sword rags and cuffs like a normal shirt. You can easily roll up your sleeves by removing the button.

-All buttons are resin snap buttons. There is no need to worry about the button being lost due to thread breakage like a normal sewing button.

-It is a pocketable specification that allows the shirt body to be stored in the chest pocket.

-There is no big difference in the overall silhouette between the men's size (Men) and the women's size (Women), but the women's size (Women) has a silhouette that more closely matches the body shape of women, such as length and sleeve length.
