This is a classic and best-selling model since 2009.
The degree of perfection as a product is high, and it is outstanding in terms of recognition and reliability. Although it has a plain basic design, this season's Pale color has a different zipper color, making it a very catchy model. Because it uses Gore-tex C-Knit, it is flexible and comfortable to wear, and you won't get tired of wearing it for a long time. This season, it has evolved further, and the use of stretch on the back makes it even easier to move, and it is a nice model that has been brushed up.

It is both cool and cute, and has an outstanding presence! long wear clothes
Flexible wear using GORE-TEX C-KNIT. ALPINE is a standard model of PEAKPERFORMANCE, but the PALE color that appeared in the 2022-23 season is the best. Only PALE has a different zip color, which is both cool and cute, and has an outstanding presence. The design is neither too flashy nor too plain, so it can be worn for a long time!

Candid Tovex's signature brand "CANDIDE", which is still active, but still deserves to be called a legend!
! Super loose silhouettes, which have become rare in recent years, are really cool. It has a waterproof and breathable performance of 20.000x20.000, but it is also environmentally friendly by using 55% bio-based and 45% recycled polyester! The number of items has increased considerably from the 22-23 season, and it is a brand that is getting more and more attention!

Although it is the highest model for mountaineering, it is also easy to use for skiing. The large hood can be used even with a ski helmet. The pockets on both sides and the chest are large and have storage capacity and are easy to use. It is easy to use even when wearing a climbing harness, so it goes well with the waist belt of a backpack. Excellent waterproofness and durability. If you remove the powder skirt, you can use it comfortably until spring.

ARMADA's unique 3-layer fabric, made up of 89% recycled nylon and 11% polyester, is tough and durable, with PFC-free durable water repellency and fully taped seams for a 15,000mm x 15,000mm
It has moisture resistance. The price is reasonable because the fabric is developed in-house. It's ripstop and reinforced to withstand everything from the inevitable scrapes of branches and rocks in the mountains to the heavy wear and tear from pack straps. Also, with a wide range of colors and sizes to choose from, I think it will suit a variety of styles, from tight to loose park style.

green clothing｜heavy jacket & movement cargo pants
Cutting design that does not make you feel any stress for large movements
◆Official HP／ http://www.800freedom.biz/
From 4 types of 3-layer jackets and 3 types of pants, each with its own individuality, this time we chose tops and bottoms that are highly active without a lining liner.
The number one point is the cutting design that does not make the big movements of snowboarders and skiers feel stressful at all. Isn't this the most important part for slippers that is not fully expressed by general outdoor brands? The hood that follows the movement of the face does not interfere with the visibility when skiing. Full of other ideas. Durable and functional materials, a collar with high defense and cold protection, a large number of pockets that exist casually where you want them, a silhouette and coloring that may seem nostalgic at first glance, but are actually well calculated, and so on. It should become the wear which can go together for a long time.

No. 1 wear "LOFOTEN GORE TEX Pro Jacket & Pants" that is immovable both in terms of popularity and functionality that cannot be removed.
First and foremost is to improve the performance of skiing. I would like you to try the fabric that gets softer the more you wear it. I tend to pay attention to the fabric, but the use of ventilation is a unique feature, and the functionality in the backcountry is the best.

It is a very robust and versatile garment with excellent waterproof and windproof properties.
Successor model of the conventional powder bowl. It's made from tough, 100% recycled polyester 2-layer GORE-TEX and lined with a lightweight fleece that's warm, wicks moisture and dries quickly. In terms of design, it feels cleaner than before, and I think it will be easier for people to choose. The fit is great, the functionality is outstanding, and you can use it anywhere, in all conditions, from the slopes to the backcountry.

Republic｜TRAIL PULLOVER JACKET & WIDE EAZY PANT
Easy to set up at an affordable price of 25,300 yen!
A wide silhouette setup that has become explosively popular with park skiers these days. Easy to move, relax and enjoy riding. Moreover, the top and bottom set is reasonably priced at 25,300 yen, so you can easily pick it up. It is very popular with boarders and is perfect for when you go to the slopes with a mixed group of skiers and boarders!! The 22-23 model has already been flooded with reservations and some models are in short supply, so it is recommended to check early.
