Recommended clothing for the 2022-2023 season

PEAKPERFORMANCE｜Alpine Jacket & Alpine Pants

Further evolution! Stretch fabric on the back for even greater ease of movement

◆Official Website:https://peakperformanceonline.jp/

This is a classic and best-selling model that has remained unchanged since 2009. It boasts high product quality, excellent recognition, and outstanding reliability. While it features a basic, plain design, this season's Pale colorway is particularly eye-catching with its different zipper colors.

Made with Gore-tex C-Knit, it's supple, comfortable, and a timeless piece you can wear for years to come. This season, it's been further improved with added stretch on the back for even greater ease of movement, making it a truly welcome addition.

Cool and cute, with a strong presence! Wearable clothing that can be worn for a long time

This supple garment is made with GORE-TEX C-KNIT. The ALPINE is a classic PEAKPERFORMANCE model, but the new PALE colorway for the 2022-2023 season is fantastic. The PALE colorway features all different zipper colors, making it both cool and cute, with a strong presence. The design is neither too flashy nor too understated, making it a garment you can wear for years to come!

Candide Tovex's signature brand!

◆Official Website:https://www.hasco.co.jp/

Still active today, but truly deserving of the title of legend, Candide Tovex's signature brand "CANDIDE"!!

The super-loose silhouette, which is becoming less common these days, is undeniably cool, and as expected from France, a leading country in SDGs! While boasting 20,000 x 20,000 waterproof and breathable performance, it also shows great consideration for the environment with the use of 55% bio-based and 45% recycled polyester! The number of items has increased considerably from the 22-23 season, making it an increasingly noteworthy brand!

MAMMUT｜EIGER EXTREME Nordwand Visiflage HS Hooded Jacket Men

This is a top-of-the-line model for mountain climbing, but it's also easy to use for skiing

◆Official Website:https://www.mammut.jp/

This is a top-of-the-line model for mountaineering, but it's also easy to use for skiing. The large hood is large enough to fit a ski helmet. The side and chest pockets are large and easy to use, and have ample storage. It's designed to be easy to use even when wearing a climbing harness, so it works well with the waist belt of a backpack. It's waterproof and durable. You can remove the powder skirt and use it comfortably until spring

ARMADA｜Grands 3L Jacket & Emmons 3L Bib

◆Official Website:https://armadaskis.jp/

ARMADA's unique 3-layer fabric, composed of 89% recycled nylon and 11% polyester, boasts tough durability, PFC-free durable water repellency, and fully taped seams, providing 15,000mm x 15,000mm breathable waterproof performance. Because the fabric is developed in-house, the price is also reasonable . Ripstop processing and reinforcement ensure it can withstand everything from unavoidable abrasion against branches and rocks during mountain activities to repeated wear from pack straps. Furthermore, the wide range of colors and sizes allows for various styles, from tight-fitting to loose park styles.

green clothing｜heavy jacket & movement cargo pants

Cutting design that allows for large movements without causing any stress

◆Official Website:http://www.800freedom.biz/

From a selection of four 3-layer jackets and three types of pants, each with its own unique character, we've chosen a highly functional top and bottom set without a lining. The best feature is the cutting design, which allows snowboarders and skiers to move freely without any restriction. This is something that typical outdoor brands often fail to achieve, and it's arguably the most important aspect for skiers. The hood also moves well with your face and doesn't obstruct your vision while skiing. There are

many other clever ideas as well. Durable and functional materials, a collar that offers high protection and warmth, numerous pockets that are subtly placed where you need them, a silhouette and color scheme that looks nostalgic at first glance but is actually meticulously designed, and much more. This is sure to be a garment you can enjoy for a long time.

The most popular and functional clothing

The LOFOTEN GORE-TEX Pro Jacket & Pants are an undisputed No. 1 in popularity and functionality. Their primary focus is on enhancing skiing performance, and they're incredibly well-designed for stress-free movement on both groomed slopes and in the backcountry.

The fabric, which becomes softer with each wear, is definitely worth trying. While the fabric is certainly eye-catching, the unique ventilation system is another standout feature, making them unparalleled in backcountry functionality.
