Hybrid Jacket Backpacks

Junya Watanabe and The North Face Join on the Dayhiker Lumber Jacket

— February 10, 2021 — Lifestyle
Junya Watanabe works in collaboration with The North Face once again on the new Dayhiker Lumber Jacket for the Spring/Summer 2021 season. The wearable is a hybrid design that takes components of the Dayhiker pack with the elements of a lightweight shell jacket.

It is made in a black shade and the utilitarian jacket features components such as a hood and toggles for adjustable sensibilities. It also features a lot of storage-ready elements at the front. There are zippered pockets along with D-rings paired together with tear-resistant paneling at the arm areas. The rest of the jacket boasts details such as buckles, dangling straps and a stark The North Face logo to round it all out.
