You've been making outdoor wear for a long time, but what special attention do you pay to down jackets?
Goldwin currently operates in six categories, including skiing, outdoor, athletic, and motorcycle, as well as the capsule collection Goldwin Zero.Among these, skiing is an important category. As our brand started with ski wear, we've even provided gear to the national teams of Sweden and the UK in the past. Considering that down jackets are essential for skiing, they are very important items for our brand.
