Peak Performance has transformed its iconic ‘Helium’ outerwear series into a pair of house slippers designed to keep your feet cozy as you lounge and live throughout your home. The slippers, which have been a popular item for Peak Performance since the 2010s, are crafted with 700 fill power down (90% down/10% feathers) and breathable polyamide fabric that has been reimagined using the ‘Helium’ pattern.
When it comes to specifications, the slippers boast a soft synthetic sole that is easy on the feet, along with a bungee adjustment system and orange heel loop. When it comes to ethical sourcing, Peak Performance only utilizes down that can be traced back to its source.
The ‘Helium Down Slippers’ are now available at Peak Performance for ¥14,300 JPY (approximately $95 USD).
