Ultra-Versatile Transitional Outerwear

Stone Island's Last Drop Boasts Functional GORE-TEX Pieces

— November 23, 2018 — Fashion
Equipt with exceptional breathability and unparallel functionality, Stone Island's transitional outerwear features top-of-the-line, performance-driven fabrics. GORE-TEX is well-known in the industry as the most durable and breathable waterproof material. The streetwear brand puts the fabric into use with the 'Water Repeller' release, ultimately ensuring that wearers stay warm and dry no matter where they are.

The minimalist transitional outerwear pieces in the collection — from jackets to turtle-neck pullovers, boast a distinctly elegant aesthetic that makes them ideal candidates for the urban environment. For the most part, the silhouettes are kept largely minimalist, with strong red embellishments that are representative of the brand. Stone Island's ultra-functional GORE-TEX collection is lightweight, packable and sealed. For extra comfort and performance-driven construction, the streetwear label adds a Shakedry technology.
