Dissatisfied with the climbing equipment available to him, Yukio Yamai founded his own mountaineering company in 1958. This brand went on to become the Snow Peak we know today - influenced by the same Niigata mountains that inspired Yamai over 60 years ago. Snow Peak is teaming up with relative newcomer Mountain Of Moods for the Fleece Hybrid Jacket, which embodies both brands’ love of technical, high-functioning apparel and Japan’s alpine landscape.
