Gore-Tex is a breathable waterproof fabric patented over 30 years ago that is known for its durability and incredible capacity to resist harsh conditions. This particular jacket is designed in camouflage, which doesn’t seem to be going anywhere in terms of fashion. It features a removable hood and zipped underarm vents. It is available at BAPE stores in New York, London, Beijing and more. At this time, no price is listed for this jacket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Underarm Vents:** Incorporating underarm vents in clothing items, particularly winter apparel, to increase breathability and comfort. - **Gore-tex Fabric:** Exploring the versatility of Gore-Tex fabric in fashion and outdoor industries for its durability and resistance to harsh conditions. - **Camouflage Patterns:** Utilizing camouflage patterns in fashion beyond traditional outdoor and military wear for a unique and trendy aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Apparel:** Creating more breathable and comfortable clothing for outdoor adventuring, incorporating features such as underarm vents and Gore-Tex fabric. - **Fashion:** Incorporating durable and versatile fabrics like Gore-Tex in fashion lines, and experimenting with unique patterns like camouflage for aesthetic appeal. - **Snowboarding Equipment:** Designing innovative and functional snowboarding gear with features like underarm vents to improve comfort and performance while on the slopes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autumnal Inclement Weather Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjallraven-and-goretex.md) - [Weatherproof PFAS-Free Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcteryx-revised-beta.md) - [High-Performance Mountain Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-brighton-insulated-snow-jacket.md) - [Winter Performance Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-performance-jacket.md) - [PFAS-Free Waterproof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montane-phase.md) - [Element-Ready Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reigning-champ-goretex.md) - [Aerogel-Insulated Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacepeak-jacket.md) - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [Technical Urban Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-down-jacket.md)
