No way uniqlo will be more expensive than sg, those clearance items even better, hoot a wool toggle coat for like sgd$50

 

[evilerniex]

for full price items in uniqlo, japan is definitely cheaper than sg, although not by a lot. sg is only cheaper if the item is on sale. whether in sg or jap, it is better to wait for the item to be on sale before buying coz uniqlo always have sale

I've no idea what down to buy.

TNF Thermo ball cost $500~ Too expensive.

Maybe Uniqlo 4 way coat is the best. But dunno is waterproof, wind proof anot.

Just came back from Hokkaido....it's snowing at most areas...and mostly covered in snow except Sapporo..if you are going to play snow better get something that is waterproof...will definitely need 2 layers for the bottoms.

To be honest, Uniqlo's men's down jacket quite good. Husband got one and kept him warm throughout. It's a bit heavy though

 

[weixiang80]

Good is good. But I may be only using this 1 time 2 weeks only... The next time I use it is dunno how many donkey years alrdy.

TNF inner wear is good but also expensive - $99. But I can use it for 5-10 degrees temp not only sub-zero. Some more the design is much better than the white ones I saw at Winter Time. Thus I sure buy...

Think will just grab 1 decent down at Winter Time or Uniqlo...
