UNIQLO Ultra Light Down

[buzzmario]

hi going japan in dec 1 to 13

will be travelling from osaka > kyoto> takayama shirakawago> hakone > tokyo.

There might be chances that at takayama shirakawago it will snow is suppose. hence looking for winter wear.

saw this UNIQLO Ultra Light Down, like to ask can this last in snow weather? or any other recommended wear for dec trip?

travelling with 2 adults and 1 9 year old kid.

Thanks

it's water proof iirc

you would need to layer up, nothing really stands up against windchill though... it can be above 0 but still feels like it is below...

doubt it
best u go layer mode clothing if u want go colder temp
unlesss u go for more stuffsing down

example my northface let me endure all cold
from Tokyo & snow blizzard in hokkiado without do epic mutil layer

even my Sapporo gf ask me where I got mine winter clothing haha
as she using a unqilo more thicker with hood jacket kept in complain cold hahhah

while I still stuff warm haha

for your case the ultra light shlud be enough unless u go below subzero but best u looks into layer clothing as enduring cold it subjective. to person to person

FYI im a skinny ninja

but I got friend who is fat but kept on complain cold even in Tokyo

i used UNIQLO Ultra Light Down during my winter trip to germany, temperature between -10 to 0 degree.
need to layer.. by itself really not enuf.
on certain days, i was wearing long john, uniqlo heattech tshirt, fleece jacket, uniqlo down, and columbia omniheat windbreaker

 

[alvinaloy]

For me, for Osaka in Dec, 3 or 4 layers good enough. Heattech under T-shirt, Heattech T-shirt, ultra light down. Sometimes another fleece vest.

Too many layers, you sure you are not overheated?

-20 degree, just 3 layers...

For top - good warm longjohn, windproof heavy fleece/1000 down jacket and waterproof Goretex shell

For bottom - good warm longjohn, insulated windproof pant and waterproof Goretex pant

For feet - base-layer sock, wool sock, waterproof Goretex boot and a pair of gaiters.

if i am overheated, i wun be wearing so many layers already
uniqlo down is not 1000, that is y i need another layer.

for ur top, u dun need a shirt over ur long john? then go indoor how?

 

[coldkey]

One problem with layering too much is that when you go indoors, very hot and sweaty, strip like mad.

You might want to check whether your clothes are sealing the heat properly or not, no use layering if your clothes is letting heat escape or wind to enter.

For pants, I recommend Uniqlo Warm Easy pants, very comfortable and not hot indoors. Might not be available in SG yet (Oct release in Japan) but can buy in Japan stores.

My longjohn is not the translucent type, can wear it on it own, still presentable. Most of the time i just remove the shell.

If indoor got heater, then remove the fleece/down + shell (they are zipped together as one piece). Sometime i will wear a microfibre long sleeve shirt on top of the longjohn.

 

[fuzzybear]

same for me
I only one full set of longjohn if below minus 2 more than I will suit up long Johns


if not I will just go with normal shirt I wear in SG & Levis jeans & my northface

so when I go indoor I either unzip my northface or take off as usuallu indoor is climate control even underground malls

maybe it due to my northface down is more epic but it only 700c down lor

I am going to get Uniqlo clothings to last me through 3 weeks of autumn. Will be hiking a bit, other than walking in the cities and taking in the sights.What do u think of my layering, all from Uniqlo:

1)Extra fine merino wool shirt plus Heattech long johns

2) Fleece Reversible jacket plus normal denim jeans

3) Mountain Parka with Warm lined cargo pants(if required)

Should I get the Ultra Light Down, just in case?

 

[kifo]

hiking in denim jeans? get yourself some hiking pants which are usually microfibre or a polyester mix.
my only concern with the mountain parka is that it is only water repellant and not waterproof. if it pours, are you going to carry umbrella?

 

[xtwis7]

Denim is definitely no no. Get either sweat pants or waterproof pants that used for snowboarding. I would personally go for sweat pants with a base layer. Get a fleece for your first layer top.
