[Oakley's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-gear) Fall/Winter 2024 Japan Collection continues the brand's legacy of high-performance outdoor gear as it blends technical functionality with minimalist style. Featuring standout pieces like the 'FGL 3L Refined Coat 1.7' and the 'FGL Puffer Ins Vest 1.7,' the Japan Collection uses advanced fabrics to ensure durability and weather protection. As such, the garments are designed for dynamic exploration, whether it is in outdoor or urban settings.

The collection’s adaptability to both urban and outdoor environments offers value for individuals who prioritize versatile, durable gear that fits into their active lifestyle. With Japanese craftsmanship central to the collection, Oakley maintains its signature feature-forward aesthetic while introducing functional innovations that can adapt to a range of environmental conditions. The collection is available in select regions, including [APAC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apac-gala-dinner), [EMEA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-readytodrink-portfolio), and North America.
