[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Ahead of Parents' Day, we recommend outdoor products that are suitable as gifts for parents who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or walking.


If your parents are particularly sensitive to heat, we recommend K2's 'Ossak' T-shirt. It is a functional cooling T-shirt featuring K2's unique continuous and repetitive dual cooling system that provides a cooling effect while quickly wicking away sweat and stickiness, allowing for a comfortable and cool wear during hot summer days.


The T-shirt maximizes dual cooling effects through both material and processing methods by using a tightly knitted high-gauge cooling fabric that feels cool to the touch and printing PCM (Phase Change Material), a cooling substance that absorbs heat when body temperature rises, on the inner lining.


PCM is a new material developed by NASA with an automatic temperature control function that absorbs heat when the temperature rises, providing an endothermic effect. The back lining of the Ossak T-shirt features microcapsule-type PCM printed on it, offering immediate coolness.


The front of the T-shirt uses mesh fabric that is about 20% thinner and lighter than regular short-sleeve T-shirts, enhancing lightness and breathability. Additionally, deodorant tape with excellent antibacterial and deodorizing effects is applied to the armpit area where sweat is abundant, maintaining comfort for a long time.


For active senior parents who enjoy hiking or jogging, we recommend The North Face's 'Run Breeze Jacket.' It features stretch fabric for excellent mobility and a perforated design on the back panel that provides comfort during outdoor activities in summer.


The jacket's front has retroreflective prints that ensure visibility, guaranteeing safety during outdoor activities such as hiking or jogging in quiet evening hours.


The ‘Flight Trinity’ shoes, which provide optimal comfort for running and trail running, use lightweight ripstop material on the upper and apply a seamless construction method to enhance lightness. They also feature a highly elastic FastFoam midsole and an outsole with excellent grip designed ergonomically to support stable running.


K2’s ‘Magnum’ applies dual anti-twist and anti-shock functions to prevent twisting not only at the heel but also at the front of the foot during hiking, absorbing shocks doubly.


The X-shaped side support pattern called X Traction, located on the sides and back of the shoe, firmly holds the foot to prevent injuries and provides comfortable wear. The X Grip outsole, specialized for Korea’s mountainous terrain with excellent traction, prevents slipping on rough mountain paths and allows comfortable walking even during long hikes.


Made with Gore-Tex material, which offers excellent waterproof, windproof, and breathable functions, the shoes can be worn without concern for sudden weather changes. They also feature FlyFitFoam insoles with excellent sweat absorption and cushioning, and Inomax material that provides antibacterial, deodorizing, and mold resistance, maintaining comfort even after long hours of wear.
