Continuing from yesterday's "Strike 2",
In the 1990s, outdoor fashion was also popular.
Later, in the 2000s, strange things like ``forest girls'' and ``mountain girls'' appeared.
At that time, it was a more serious outdoor fashion.

Patagonia is famous for outdoor fashion.
I think many outdoor brands have followed this design.
That color scheme is one of the unique features of Patagonia.
The blue and red version of Das Parka, which I had always wanted at the time, was a dream come true.
But Das is a super popular product and an icon of Patagonia.
And I think it cost about 60,000 yen at the time.
Patagonia is a luxury item and was not affordable for middle school and high school students.

When it comes to outdoor brands that I can buy with my part-time job, I often use LLBean .
The quality is not that much different from Patagonia, but the price is about half the price.
Still, it's not cheap for high school students, so
I wore the down jacket I had worked so hard to buy every day, regardless of the rain or wind.
Well, if I wore it that long, the oil from my hair would seep out and it was pretty dirty (lol).

Nowadays, there are more and more outdoor brands,
And the number of sales channels that make it easy to purchase has also increased.
Although it does go in and out of fashion,
I'm thinking of using it for mountain climbing and camping, so
It's easy to use and wear.
However, as I approach the age of 40, I feel like serious outdoor fashion is a little unfashionable.
The ``mountain parka'' I was looking for was just too good to be true.




This is from "The North Face Purple Label" .
Speaking of The North Face, it's the cut fabric,
There is a strong image of outerwear with a logo on the chest,
At first I couldn't accept it because I don't like logos, but
With Purple Label, which is also a product with the brand “Nanamika” ,
Rather than a rugged outdoor feel,
Many of them have an urban and modern feel.
And above all, there is no logo with a bang on it.

The quality is well made as expected from an outdoor brand.
I've been wearing this almost every rainy day lately.
Even if it gets wet, it dries quickly,
It's not that thick so it's easy to wear.
Although it is difficult to understand in the image,
It's also great that the hoodie has a cap-like brim at the end!

As the size is made to be large,
I sized down and chose the perfect size for just one T-shirt.
If it's baggy or loose, it looks unstylish,
Above all, it makes me feel like an old man,
If you choose, we recommend the perfect size.

When I was around 20 years old, I thought ``When I started dabbling with outdoor brands, I was middle-aged.''
That's what I was told,
Outdoor brands have also evolved and are much better than they were a few years ago.
Clothes are meant to protect you, so
If this durability and practicality are updated, it will be unbeatable.

It's sale season now, so I have a feeling there will be a lot of bargains.
If the size fits, you can buy it without hesitation!
