C.P. Company unveils a new and progressive fabrication by the name of Kan-D to its Fall/Winter 2020 offerings this year. The innovative material is short for "K(c)lear Achronic Nylon (garment)Dyed." This is based on a flattened iteration of monofilament nylon yarn materials.
The yarn is flattened to make it more reflective and also slightly transparent as well. This also results in a water-resistant sensibility that is both breathable, offering a deconstructed finish when it is completed with garment dyeing treatment processes. The material is used to make three iterations of jackets and each one has the detachable poly-fleece layer on the inside, secured zipper enclosure, and the brand's signature goggle hood. The colors include Golden yellow, black, Martini Olive, Total Eclipse, and Pompeian Red.
