The meaning of collaboration between brands
MOUNTAIN MARTIAL ARTS (https://mountain-ma.com/), whose concept is "seamlessly connecting activities and town use," and SAYAMA works, whose philosophy is "mountain tools that help people," have teamed up to create a clothing that combines both characteristics. MOUNTAIN MARTIAL ARTS and SAYAMA works place emphasis on achieving both design and functionality to the product, and the high performance could support the top climbers, runners, and trail runners. In particular, they request field tests from participants and finishers of the Trans Japan Alps Race (TJAR https://www.tjar.jp/), which is said to be the toughest race in Japan, and provide feedback on the test results to the product. They believe that those top runners who are good enough to participate in the TJAR end up in extremely harsh environments and conditions, and that the demands of these athletes for products are synonymous with the needs of general users. In developing this clothing, they thought it was worthwhile to take on the challenge of taking advantage of its characteristics.
Concept
This time, MOUNTAIN MARTIAL ARTS and SAYAMA works develop clothing with the theme of ``innovative tops for autumn, winter, and spring that combine design and functionality while embodying products that combine the needs of TJAR contestants and customers of both brands.'' It could be used as a base layer for low-intensity mountain climbing or it can be considered a middle layer for trail running, which involves high activity intensity. Therefore, for this project, they interviewed 14 athletes who had participated in TJAR, and they were able to hear a wide variety of requests from each athlete. They have summarized the main points by comparing them with the brand concept and making trade-offs.
Assumed situations
The premise is that it can be used comfortably even on Japan's 3000m-level mountains (autumn, winter, and spring). SAYAMA works backpacks are mainly fast-packed and have a function that allows you to take out the things you need without taking the bag down. For this reason, Sayama san don't require a lot of storage capacity for the tops, so he choose something lightweight and simple. In addition to taking into account the design and functionality of MOUNTAIN MARTIAL ARTS, they also added the Power Grid (moisture absorption, quick drying, and heat retention performance) from Polartec (http://www.challenge-21c.co.jp/polartec/), which MOUNTAIN MARTIAL ARTS is good at. They wanted to provide users with the best comfort by using high-quality clothing.
Specifications
1.Hood: Uses Power Grid fabric throughout. In consideration of use on windy ridgelines and snowy mountains, the balaclava is designed to cover the nose. A hair hole is placed on the back of the head to let out tied hair.
2.Front: Mainly uses Power Grid fabric. Full zip + zipper can be opened from below. The opening/closing part of the collar (with chin guard) of the central zipper, which incorporates a streamlined design, is placed around the right cheek so that it does not interfere with your mouth. In addition, the zipper part that can be opened and closed from the hem does not interfere with the climbing harness and also functions as a ventilator.
3.Lower abdomen - hem: When walking with a backpack on your back, the hem may gradually roll up due to vibrations while walking, which can be a problem for climbers. To solve this problem, the hem is designed to be longer from the lower abdomen. Considering that sweat easily accumulates and overlaps with bottoms, they have used a jersey fabric (stretch smooth) that is thinner than the Power Grid fabric, has excellent moisture absorption, quick drying, and elasticity, and is UV treated.
4.Back body: Same as the front body except that there is no zipper.
5.Underarm: Tiger camo color (stretch smooth sublimation transfer), which is a characteristic of MMA.
6.Sleeves: Mainly made of Power Grid fabric, and the cuffs are made of the same fabric as the lower abdomen. It also comes with a thumbhole, so you can expect it to be effective in preventing sunburns and wind and snow from entering. There is also a watch hole on the cut-out part of both cuffs that allows you to take out your watch.
7.Brand Name: SAYAMA works Ω and Polartec names are placed under the left armpit. The MMA name is on the left sleeve.
