Minimalistic, clean style and city/outdoors' functionality has always
NAU's philosophy.
While other performance brands we cover make the effort to use eco-friendly fabrics to conjure up fashionable performance pieces that are urban savvy and trail tough----NAU-out of Portland ---just has continued down that paved road/rugged trail since forever.
We think this is the year they get on the retail map beyond the usual outdoor brands...
There are several new pieces and carry throughs from other seasons like the bestselling Shroud of Purrin jackets/trenches (new-hoody version) ... and Refugio jackets in new tones.
F/W 2012 brings a new collection of down and synthetic filled items---there are several layerable hard and soft-shells pieces for example, including light-weight insulated, non-bulky jackets/shirts/vests, and lifestyle standouts---seamed sealed, handsome blazers, pretty trenches for gals, and waterproof outerwear with four way stretch-just some of the highlights.
