"Minimizing Air Resistance"... Kolon, a Trail Running Specialist

Kolon Sports Accelerates Entry into Trail Running Market
29 New Products Including Apparel, Gear, and Footwear Released

Kolon Industries FnC's outdoor brand Kolon Sports is accelerating its efforts to target the trail running market this year. Trail running, a high-intensity exercise that involves running on natural terrains such as dirt paths and mountain trails, has been gaining attention amid the recent running boom.

This spring/summer (S/S) season, Kolon Sports launched a total of 29 trail running products, including apparel, gear, and footwear. The apparel lineup, which now includes more products than last year, features items suitable for trail running environments such as lightweight waterproof and windproof jackets. Among these, the "Hybrid Lightweight Waterproof Jacket" is designed to minimize air resistance during trail running. It is characterized by its use of highly breathable, waterproof materials that protect against rain and wind.

The most notable aspect of this season is the expansion of the trail running shoe lineup. Following the release of its first trail running shoe, the "TL-1," last year, Kolon Sports has developed two additional models this year?"TL-X" and "TL-P"?to offer options tailored to different uses and purposes. Starting with the "TL-X," Kolon Sports plans to sequentially launch the multi-purpose trail running shoe "TL-P" and the cushioning-focused "TL-1," which is optimized for long-distance running.

A dedicated line for female trail runners will also be newly launched. Reflecting the growing demand among female runners, Kolon Sports has newly designed a line of apparel and gear specifically for women. The product lineup includes waterproof and windproof jackets, ultra-lightweight short-sleeve T-shirts, quick-drying sleeveless tops, and leggings. These products not only offer technical functionality but are also tailored to the female physique and intended use.

A Kolon Sports representative stated, "Trail running is more than just a trend; it is one of the core areas that best embodies Kolon Sports' vision of connecting with nature," adding, "We will continue to develop competitive products that can succeed in the global market, leveraging our technological capabilities and design expertise as a domestic brand in the trail running market."
