[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] With the early monsoon forecast, rain items that combine design and practicality are gaining attention.


Outdoor brand K2 has released two types of raincoats with enhanced waterproof functionality and convenience for the monsoon season. The two types include a 'Safari-style' raincoat and a 'Cape-style' poncho raincoat, both offering excellent waterproof performance while being lightweight and easy to carry. Equipped with a packable pocket, they can be conveniently taken out and worn when it rains, making them useful not only for outdoor activities but also during travel.


The safari-style raincoat features detachable sleeves, allowing users to wear long sleeves when it rains heavily and short sleeves when the rain is light, adding convenience.


Ventilation functionality is applied on the front to ensure breathability, allowing comfortable wear even in the humid monsoon weather. A roomy three-dimensional pattern is used on the back to prevent discomfort when wearing a backpack underneath the raincoat. It is available in two colors: Scarlet and Navy.


The cape-style poncho raincoat uses a lightweight 3-layer material with excellent waterproof properties, making it ideal for mountain hiking and outdoor activities during the monsoon season. Its generous fit provides great mobility during outdoor activities in the rain, and an internal pocket on the front allows for easy storage of small items. It comes in two colors: Dark Beige and Black, priced at 115,000 KRW.
