This capsule collection celebrates that milestone with a modern take on its 90-year history of technical and design excellence and foreshadows the further evolution of Descente Ski over the next 10 to 20 years.
"The power of engineering and design, created from an engineering/scientific perspective, not only pursues excellence, but also resonates with the wearer’s senses and emotions”. This design philosophy combines creativity and passion into the development of every single product. For DESCENTE, as a premium brand, this concept symbolizes how functionality and aesthetics, innovation and tradition coexist and mutually enhance each other.
Promotes ventilation as if breathing
The unique internal 3D INSULATOR SYSTEM breathes with your movements, expelling uncomfortable moisture from inside the garment. The design allows airflow from ventilation to pass through a concave-convex tube structure, ultimately being expelled through the back.
S.I.O Minimum Pattern:
Long years of speed competition wear R&D have resulted in Descente’s unique S.I.O pattern engineering, which underpins Descente’s “design by functionality” philosophy, removing unnecessary decorations to leave a fusion of functional features as the pure design elements. Directly designing with a single piece of fabric on a moving body minimizes pattern pieces and maximizes the benefits of “functionality”, optimising comfort and performance with reduced garment weight and improved ease of movement. Fewer sewn seams also improve waterproofing and mobility, rounding out the final enhanced aesthetics.
Innovation begins with materials
Schematech® technology enables different functional changes to separate parts of a single fabric, and additionally, a 3D FOAM fabric with insulating foam lamination was developed to commemorate the 90th Anniversary.
The transform specifications of the jacket allow it to be joined with a down vest. Recycled Bemberg™ insulation assists moisture-wicking and Heatnavi® efficiently converts infrared rays into heat. The overall insulation can be adjusted when worn with its traceable down outer vest. The design, crafted with attention to detail, ensures climate-appropriate comfort.
