South2 West 8 and Marmot collaborate for the first time. The result is a superb down jacket in both design and function.

SOUTH2 WEST8 has been making clothes for mountain stream fishing in the northern lands long before fishing clothes became popular as street clothes as they are now. Last season, SOUTH2 WEST8 made a splash by collaborating with Supreme. Is it too much to say that the times have finally caught up with us?

The 2021 AW season of "South 2 West 8" is drawing even more attention. One of the most significant topics is the collaboration with the American outdoor brand "MARMOT," which will be released on October 9 (Sat.).

SOUTH2 WEST8 x MARMOT W.E.T. DOWN JACKET NATIVE PATTERN GORE-TEX ¥107,800

SOUTH2 WEST8 x MARMOT W.E.T. DOWN JACKET SOLID GORE-TEX ¥97,900

Based on a jacket with complete fishing specifications with numerous front and rear functional pockets designed for mountain stream fishing, this jacket is filled with 750 fill power down with Down Defender (water repellent treatment). The shell is made of GORE-TAX®, and by adding the technology of Marmot, a full-fledged outdoor brand, we have created the strongest tenkara outerwear with excellent cold resistance and waterproofing properties.

As a side note, Marmot is famous for being the first outdoor apparel company to use GORE-TEX®.

There are many brands and clothes that advocate function x design, but this product stands out from the crowd.
