Nonnative and WILD THINGS unveil high-tech GORE-TEX jackets

Japanese clothing brands Nonnative and WILD THINGS have come together to transform WILD THINGS’ ‘PERTEX Denali Jacket’ silhouette into two models infused with GORE-TEX technology, part of the ‘Explorer Puff Jumper’ line. Although the jackets look similar from the outside, a closer look reveals differences in how they’re made, offering waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable features.

The jackets, named ‘Explorer Puff Jumper ‘Denali’ Poly Taffeta GORE-TEX 2L’ and ‘Explorer Puff Jumper ‘Denali’ Poly Taffeta GORE-TEX PACLITE 2.5L,’ differ in their fabric composition. The ‘Poly Taffeta GORE-TEX 2L’ has a double-layered outer shell, while the ‘Poly Taffeta GORE-TEX PACLITE 2.5L’ uses a two-and-a-half-layer sprayed fabric construction.

Both versions include COMBAT by CLIMASHIELD lining to ensure protection and insulation in challenging weather conditions. Additionally, co-branding decorates the sleeves, along with a Velcro patch on the left arm. The color choices include beige and navy for the ‘2L’ version, and royal blue, forest green, and black for the ‘2.5L.’
