A lowkey outerwear powerhouse, Japan's Goldwin has been innovating in the outdoors since luanching in the 1950s as a knit fabric manufacturer. In more recent years, as the umbrella company of famed fashion crossovers Nanamica and The North Face Purple Label, Goldwin has established one of the world’s foremost technical outerwear R&D labs and continually releases unique, forward-thinking designs blending adventure-ready designs with urban aesthetics.
Goldwin's undying attention to detail is what draws us in again and again—the same can be said for fellow Japanese outerwear standouts and Wander and Snow Peak. The new SS21 collection from Goldwin, released this week, maintains their track record of releasing nothing but bangers—the Pertex Shield Air Jacket being one of them.
