Antarctica is a heavy down jacket developed in 2011 to support the clothing needs of the Antarctic meteorite expedition team members. This season, the lineup consists of Standard, Long, and Premier versions, and the Antarctica Lab (LAB), made entirely of 100% nylon, has also been upgraded and introduced.

The outer fabric of the Antarctica uses 'Antarctica Windstopper' recycled material, which Kolon Sports co-developed over several years with Gore-Tex. The lining incorporates graphene-coated material to enhance heat retention compared to regular fabrics. Areas that come into direct contact with the skin, such as the neck and face, are reinforced with soft and warm-feeling materials.

The underarm area, where sweat is generated due to body heat, features wool insulation that allows ventilation to improve breathability. The Antarctica Standard has a medium length that covers the hips, making it highly versatile for winter hiking as well as daily outerwear, according to the company. The Antarctica Long extends down to the knees, providing the strongest warmth against severe cold. The Antarctica Long Wool Premier applies merino wool fabric on the outer shell, offering a more luxurious coat-style silhouette.

The upgraded Antarctica Lab is a mono-material product from Kolon Sports, which is researching fundamental solutions and circular models in the fashion industry, made entirely from a single 100% material. This year, the Antarctica Lab is released in a long-length padded jumper style.

Kolon Sports plans to showcase a video containing the story of Antarctica along with the Antarctica products at its flagship store in Hannam, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, starting from the 23rd.
