As cool and pleasant weather sets in, it's the best season to hike and enjoy sea of clouds or explore ancient trails. GoHiking, an outdoor goods retailer, recommends wearing two-piece waterproof jackets, casual and versatile down vests, or elastic trousers to maintain optimal warmth and breathability.
GoHiking, under the Eclat Textile Group, noted that Taiwan has 258 mountains with altitudes above 3,000 meters, featuring rich and diverse alpine ecosystems that attract countless international visitors every year. Coupled with the growing domestic hiking trend in recent years, the outdoor gear industry has seen year-on-year growth.
This October, GoHiking launched the Korean outdoor sports brand BLACK YAK. In November, it introduced a series of functional yet fashionable outdoor apparel, including GORE-TEX two-piece waterproof jackets for professional hiking, casual and versatile down vests, and elastic functional trousers. With creative designs such as mixed-material panels and slim, tailored cuts, the collection successfully breaks the stereotype that outdoor clothing lacks style, offering hikers a refreshing new look.
GoHiking explained that the outer layer of the two-piece waterproof jacket is made from durable GORE-TEX fabric, which offers excellent waterproofing, wind resistance, and breathability. The inner layer in areas prone to sweating uses super-breathable mesh to ensure ventilation without overheating. Notably, BLACK YAK enhances the warmth of the inner layer with refined three-dimensional knitting techniques, adding a touch of luxury—even when worn alone, it looks stylish.
The elastic trousers series moves away from the traditional loose and baggy look of functional outdoor pants. They use a large amount of LYCRA spandex to ensure a snug fit without feeling tight or restrictive. The latest elastic trousers feature color-blocked designs with insulated fabrics, and their inner linings are made of brushed, moisture-wicking materials that keep you dry and comfortable even after sweating during outdoor activities. Once the activity stops, they continue to provide necessary warmth to help retain body heat. 1031113
