The Windchaser is an outerwear product first introduced by Kolon Sports in 2020, and is a 'steady seller' with an average sales rate of 80%. It blocks rain and wind while allowing sweat and moisture inside the clothing to escape, helping to maintain comfort during outdoor activities. The waist string can be adjusted to create a feminine look or an oversized fit depending on the mood.

This season, an eco-friendly function was added by using Gore-Tex fabric that does not contain perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which are generated during the membrane manufacturing process, along with water-repellent treatment.

The hiking shoe 'Motion' is also newly introduced this season. It features all the functionalities needed for hiking and various outdoor activities, combined with a casual design. The weight is reduced to about 396g per shoe in size 275mm, and safety was enhanced to better secure the foot. The outsole's lugs, which contact the ground, are designed in a stepped pattern to increase the contact area and improve grip.

Yang Sun-mi, planning team leader at Kolon Sports, stated, "The 'Gorpcore' trend of styling outdoor items with everyday wear, combined with Kolon Sports' functional outdoor products, is receiving positive responses from customers."
