With the last days of summer trickling away, we’re already finding ourselves pouring over fall and winter product catalogs, praying for early season pow at the local ski hill. One such brand to catch our eye this season is Japan’s Goldwin, a longtime Field Mag staple with over 70 years experience outfitting stylish outdoorists, outdating stateside industry giants like The North Face and Patagonia. Hailing from the island nation’s mountainous west, Goldwin is very much a winter specialist. And it shows.
Goldwin employs the same high-performance approach to every one of its garments, regardless if it's intended for a week at Whistler or a walk to the subway. In the past we've seen jackets for foragers and collab apparel by Geoff McFetridge. For Fall/Winter 2021, Goldwin is releasing an updated line of apparel and outerwear containing thoughtful and high-tech pieces well worth a closer look. So, we selected three key insulated pieces and did just that. Read on below for the full scoop.
