What is the PLC EXCURSION Series?
The PLC (PACKABLE / LIGHT / COMPACT) Series is a high-performance clothing line unique to NANGA that combines packability, lightness, and compactness. It offers a lightweight and comfortable wearing experience that transcends the boundaries between travel and everyday life.
Based on the “Shadow Rip” fabric, each piece incorporates a variety of functions such as UV protection, water repellency, stretch, and quick-drying moisture absorption. Its convenient packable design makes it suitable for a wide range of activities, from hiking and backpacking to business trips and commuting or school.
NANGA
Founded in 1941 in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture, NANGA is a Japanese manufacturer specializing in down products. Committed to domestic production, the brand uses high-quality, safe down and its own unique sewing techniques. It is now recognized as a leading name in Japan’s winter outerwear scene.
Durable and Lightweight—Fabric You Can Rely On
The fabric features Teijin’s “Shadow Rip,” a ripstop weave that balances lightness, quick-drying comfort, and exceptional durability.
Its smooth texture and uniform yarn thickness create a flatter appearance and soft feel, making it easy to pack without bulk.
The even yarn thickness gives it a flatter, more refined look compared to typical ripstop fabrics. The subtle grid pattern keeps the outdoorsy feel understated, allowing it to blend seamlessly into everyday wear.
With a UPF rating of 30, it also blocks 95% of UV rays—an essential for spring and summer outings.
Practical, Yet Refined
The shirt features a compact, regular collar for a balanced silhouette.
The front placket uses snap buttons, offering both a minimal look and easy on-off convenience.
The first and second buttons are spaced closer together than on a typical casual shirt, ensuring that the undershirt remains discreet—even when the top button is left open.
The left chest features a zip pocket that doubles as a self-storage pouch, making the piece highly packable and ideal for both travel and daily use.
The sleeves feature snap-buttoned plackets for adjustable fit and easy rolling—ideal for warmer days or more relaxed styling.
A reflective logo on the front left hem adds a subtle design touch while enhancing visibility at night.
Balanced Silhouette That Matches Any Bottoms
The relaxed fit is not overly tight, offering just the right amount of ease. Designed to layer comfortably over various innerwear, it’s perfect for travel, outdoor activities, or simply as a dependable outer layer for everyday life.
