SUNNY SPORTS
An American casual brand founded by surfer Shinya Kitahara. The brand features a variety of surf-inspired items, offering high-quality, relaxed daily wear with a basic yet stylish touch.
Functional Material with Water-Repellent, Windproof, and Thermal Properties
Made with "cationic yarn" for exceptional waterproofing and treated with a durable water-repellent finish, this fabric is reliable even in harsh weather conditions.
The reverse side is laminated with a polyurethane film, combining high durability against water pressure, windproofing, and heat retention into one functional piece.
High Heat Retention with Solar Heat Conversion
The lining uses Toray's "Solar Sensor Fabric," infused with carbon particles to convert sunlight into heat, ensuring excellent insulation. Additionally, the antistatic fibers woven into the fabric reduce static cling, offering warmth and stress-free wear.
Innovative Insulation Material Developed by 3M
The padding features Thinsulate, a high-performance material developed by 3M, designed to be slimmer, lighter, and warmer—an ideal alternative to traditional polyester filling or down.
Traps Air for Consistent Warmth
The intricate 2-micron diameter microfibers effectively trap air, insulating against external elements while maintaining warmth. Despite its thin and lightweight nature, the fabric is perfect for layering with tops or jackets.
Simple Details for Versatile Wear
The minimalist no-collar design fits seamlessly into various occasions. The snap-button closure ensures easy wear and removal.
The raglan sleeve design ensures easy movement, making this cardigan as comfortable as it is stylish.
The cuffs feature elastic piping for a snug fit that keeps out external air, enhancing warmth.
Pockets on both sides provide excellent functionality. The pocket interiors are lined with mesh fabric, offering superior breathability.
The streamlined hem ensures a sleek and mature silhouette that won't interfere with outer layers.
Versatile as an Inner or Outer Layer
This piece works well as a liner for jackets or coats, maintaining a smart silhouette without bulkiness. It can also be worn over a shirt or sweater as an outer layer for stylish yet functional wear.
The simple and versatile design ensures year-round usability from autumn to spring, making it a practical multi-season cardigan.

Staff comment
●Staff (165cm/52kg) Build: Slim Wearing: Size S The length reached about halfway down the hips. Compared to the vest made from the same material, the body width is slightly broader. This lightweight cardigan is perfect for layering under a jacket or coat. The subdued colors seamlessly blend with existing wardrobe items. The black shade appeared like a deep navy under certain lighting. |
●Staff (171cm/61kg) Build: Average Wearing: Size M The length lightly grazes the hips, with sleeves neither too long nor too short—just the right length. The cuffs are elasticized, providing a snug yet comfortable fit. If you prefer a looser fit, opting for size L might be a good choice. This lightweight quilted cardigan is especially handy for temperature regulation during long indoor periods, such as on trains. |
●Staff (177cm/67kg) Build: Average Wearing: Size XL The length nearly covers the hips, and the sleeve length extends to the back of the hands. It’s not too thick, so it can be worn without feeling bulky. For those who prefer a slimmer fit or plan to wear it as a liner, size L—reaching about halfway down the hips—could also be a good option. |
●Staff (181cm/80kg) Build: Muscular Wearing: Size XXL The size feels just right without being restrictive. The sleeve length extends to the back of the hands, and the length falls slightly above the hips. If the inner top is oversized, it may feel a bit tight.
