The "XShelter" series, launched by Workman in 2024, made huge waves with its game-changing features, becoming so popular that it sold out almost instantly.

And for the Fall/Winter 2025 season, the "XShelter" has evolved even further. Introducing the "XShelter Insulated α Premium GIGA PAFF Down Coat," a product boasting the best cold protection in the series.
