All Direction Stretch Hike Shirt

Wearing a buttoned shirt for trekking is not only for the style but must also be for practicality.
On days with strong sun, a sunburn can be a huge problem letting many people wear long sleeves even when the temperature is high. But shirts are airy and can very well provide protection against the sun. Standing its collar enables even a neck protection against the sun as well.
The shirt is also easier to control temperature and provides instant ventilation when it’s hot by unbuttoning the front entirely. And its buttons are snap buttons for easy opening and closing.
Plus, a shirt can be an alternative to a windshell jacket when the moderate wind blows when on the ridgeline. The shirt allows leaving windshell jacket out to pack lighter on some days.
A shirt provides protection against sunlight and wind while enabling an easy temperature control, so mountain exploration can continue stress-free without taking on and off the shirt.

The material, SOLOTEX, is used. SOLOTEX’s fibers have a spring-like spiral molecular structure which has very high stretchability, thus does not interfere with body movement. And it also has high shape recovery that does not wrinkle even if it gets stuffed into the backpack.

Slightly loose box silhouette to improve airiness and has sizing that can be worn over the insulation wear when it is cold.
A large zipper pocket on the chest is a size that can fit a map and is useful for storing what you want with immediate access.

PERTEX SHIELDAIR Fast Shell Jacket

Three-layer rainwear that is waterproof and breathable. In addition to the moisture permeability of conventional outdoor rainwear that releases the humidity outside, it has a breathability that physically allows air to pass through, making this jacket the most unstuffy rainwear by far.
The jacket was developed under the theme of “rainwear that can be worn in all weathers,” and uses PERTEX SHIELDAIR with excellent breathability that makes it possible to be an alternative to a windshell when it’s sunny.
Now a rainwear that could end up unused if no rain can be used as an active wear in any weather conditions.
The fabric is a very soft, supple, and thin three-layer material with 12 denier outer fabric and 7 denier lining, which does not get in the way during intense exercise and suitable for trail running.

This jacket not only offers breathability, but also contributes a lot to weight reduction for being lightweight for a three-layer shell with 210g (size L).
Plus, this rainwear doing two roles by also acting as an alternative to windshell jackets eliminates other active wears and pack light.

One thing to note is that it trades off heat retention for high breathability. With its sizing that gives the body a little more room to layer, the jacket can still be worn in a wide range of temperature depending on how it’s layered. This is one very versatile item that performs according to users’ expectations.

Location

Mt. Hinata

Located in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, this mountain is 1,660 meters above sea level on the avant-garde peak of the Southern Alps.
A forest belt continues to the summit, and the forest of broad-leaved and coniferous trees is pleasant for hiking.
The summit is covered with trees and have no view, but the scenery completely changes when Gangahara, just west of the summit, is reached.
Its panoramic view of the white sand is called "the beach in the sky".
The road just before getting to Gangahara gives the illusion of the moment getting out to the tropical beach. The view of Mt. Kaikomagatake and Mt. Yatsugatake from the beach is the attraction of Mt. Hinata like no other.

Right from the Oshirakawa Valley parking lot, which is the trailhead, there is a campsite where people can camp before and after climbing. People can also enjoy a walk in the Oshirakawa Valley.
There is also a shared taxi, MOUNTAIN TAXI, that connects JR Kobuchizawa Station to the trailhead and is easy to access by public transportation.
