Japanese streetwear giant BAPE unveiled its latest piece for the season in the form of the ABC CAMO rain poncho. The outerwear is designed to boast lightweight elements to be functional during the warmer rainy season. The exterior is entirely adorned in the label's signature branding details in the form of the ABC CAMO pattern in green.
It is available in one size only and constructed from 100% polyester materials. The wide sleeves, body, and the hood feature the green tonal camouflage pattern and the back highlights additional branding details. It features a BAPE head logo emblem in white to contrast against the busy patterned background and "*A BATHING APE" beneath the motif.
