The peak summer travel season is approaching. Hilltop, a leading outdoor leisure brand, has long observed domestic travel trends and found that the three major challenges Taiwanese people dread most during summer travel are "sun exposure, heat and humidity, and rain." Well-planned itineraries are often disrupted by scorching sunlight, humid and stuffy weather, or sudden downpours. True to its commitment to locally developed products, Hilltop has tailored this summer’s collection to the needs of Taiwanese consumers by launching a range of functional apparel featuring “Cool Black,” “Silver Fiber,” and “Gore-Tex” technologies to address these outdoor challenges. Additionally, Hilltop has made a breakthrough this year by inviting celebrity actress Hsia Yu-Chiao as its annual brand ambassador. Building on its established leadership in functional apparel, Hilltop aims to inspire more consumers to experience the importance of comfortable functional wear for outdoor adventures through Hsia’s sunny, sporty, and outdoor-loving image.

Hilltop brand representative Fang Shuo-Wei suggests that consumers choose functional apparel based on their activity scenarios. When engaging in outdoor activities under the sun—such as cycling or visiting scenic spots—sun protection should be the top priority, especially since summer sunlight can be extremely intense. Without proper care, one could easily get sunburned or suffer from heatstroke. Hilltop’s “Cool Black Functional Apparel,” developed with Swiss technology, helps shield against solar heat and UV damage. Compared to regular clothing, after sun exposure, the surface temperature of Hilltop’s Cool Black apparel does not rise as sharply as ordinary black clothes, maintaining a comfortable temperature while offeringUPF30UVUVprotection—equivalent to6times that of a regular umbrella.

Another characteristic of Taiwan’s island-style summer climate is humidity and stickiness, especially the clammy discomfort after sweating during exercise. Fang Shuo-Wei explains that Hilltop’s “Silver Fiber Functional Apparel” treats the fiber surface with pure silver, leveraging the antibacterial properties of silver ions to effectively prevent odor buildup and avoid the embarrassment of post-exercise sweat smells—ideal for active individuals who want to enjoy movement without worrying about body odor.

Hilltop’s Gore-Tex jackets are made using a three-layer construction method. The middle layer features a special “Gore-Tex” membrane with microscopic pores that are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, preventing water from penetrating the fabric. This ensures the jacket remains unsoaked even in the rain while allowing sweat vapor to evaporate quickly. When the three layers are bonded together to form a complete textile and sealed with waterproof tape, the result is a breathable, waterproof, and windproof functional garment. For outdoor enthusiasts who love hiking or tackling rugged terrains, sudden weather changes are no longer a concern.

Beyond functionality, Hilltop also places strong emphasis on design aesthetics. This summer’s collection highlights a slim-fit silhouette that flatters the figure, accented with color-blocking, contrasting panels, and prints for a sleek, urban-active style.6From18to7, Hilltop is holding a mid-year promotion, offering discounts of up to24Until that date, Mountain Top Bird is launching a mid-year celebration special offer, with comprehensive discounts on clothing.7% off on all apparel.
