SIERRA DESIGNS, HELLY HANSEN
Sick of the 60's-70's retread style-wise- in apparel and footwear?
Mostly the fashion editorial side and some retailers seem to be the most vocal on the 'there's nothing new.'
IMO-tech-smart wearables and consumer discretionary products (IoT cars, home appliances etc....), personal electronics, yada, yada, yada- are developing at such a rapid pace....all that stuff seems to satisfy the newness craving by consumers-dolllar for dollar. Big time.
And it's not just there's an app for everything...including ad-blocking...it's the whole tech landscape impacting everything.
When Gen Xers we know don't get SnapChat which is a pretty easy to understand entity...antidotal proof -of the digital dizzying pace and attempts to stay relevant. So why not stick with some tried and true looks-silhouettes...the tech part of the outdoors clothing/shoes world=the tricked out fabrics...keep it all fresh enough!
More Highlights:
 |
| Reversible Windwear Jacket-shell side next to body, faster evaporation keeps wearers cooler though it is treated with DWR for light rain protection and fire finish...when it gets windier, cooler or you just start moving sllloooowww...reverse the jacket so shell is on outside, fleece on the inside---trapping heat. |

| Helly Hansen's AE Collection (named after Ask the first man and EMBLA the first woman-according to Norse legends)... had us swoon with the chicness of every selection we sw. Their premium line-limited availability. LOVE this old school puffer style has a stunning Asian feel with floral print-almost looks hand painted on-Monet would be proud. This is a highly technical jacket too...welded seams, YKK zips, RECCO advanced rescue, H2 Flow™Helly Hansen's warmer/lighter/cooling 'system' with captured air for warmth & ventilation zippers to let the cold air in-body mapping MO, and Primaloft synthetic for warm when wet insulation...plus interior pockets for personal electronics and bonus points-a snapped one for lipsticks!!!! |
