GRIP SWANY and TAION are on their [second collaborative down collection](https://taion-wear.jp/collections/gripswany-taion/products/taion-106vzwk-gs?ref=simpl.asia), but the noteworthy material change is specific: a high-density **20-denier CORDURA nylon** outer. Japan sales began on **15 October 2026** after a 25 September preorder, according to the participating retailers and reports collected for this release.

The hooded jacket, code **TAION-106VZWK-GS**, is shown by TAION at **¥42,900 including Japanese consumption tax**. It sits alongside a vest, trousers, gloves and cap in the capsule.

## What the shell and insulation mean

The maker describes the fabric as CORDURA nylon; this is a branded yarn/fabric specification, not a blanket claim that the jacket is abrasion-proof or flame-resistant. The stated down quality is **800 fill power**, with the jacket product specification using a **90% down / 10% feather** filling ratio. Other garments or pattern variants should not be assigned those figures without their own labels.

Official photography shows a high collar and hood, multiple zippered pockets, pronounced quilting and black and dark-olive colour options. These are visible design details, not evidence from a wear test.

## Where it stands now

Independent outdoor publication [hinata covered the capsule on 19 October](https://hinata.me/article/2112053818790464462?ref=simpl.asia). Sizes may move independently at different Japanese stockists; a maker page showing a colour does not prove a particular size can currently be ordered, and overseas checkout requires separate verification.
