Japan's ninja parka shields from uv rays, even allows snacking

In Japan, the sun can be intense, especially without daylight saving time. Staying protected is crucial when walking to and from public transportation. Enter Sara's 'Ninja Parka', a hoodie designed to block UV rays while keeping you visible.

Ninja parka's multi-functional design

The parka features long sleeves, a hood, and a mesh mask that can be zipped down for eating and drinking. A mesh section at the nape of the neck helps with airflow when the hood is up.

Sara also offers a 'Breezy See-through Parka' with a mesh abdomen for extra ventilation. Worn over a regular top, it provides similar protection to the full Ninja Parka but keeps your midsection cooler.

If you only want the hood, Sara sells it separately. All three items are available on Rakuten, with prices ranging from 5,390 yen for the hood to 16,280 yen for the full parka.
