The concise new capsule delivers a handful of activewear pieces, all of which share a navy blue color palette inspired by divers' wetsuits. The capsule features a range of eye-catching vests, jackets, anoraks, t-shirts, and hoodies. In addition to being dressed in various shades of blue, several of the pieces feature a unique hand-painted marine camouflage pattern. In terms of materials, the collection utilizes several premium [high-performance fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldwin-0-2). For example, all of the outwear pieces come equipped with a 3L GORE-TEX construction, recycled polyester outer layer, and a thin GORE-TEX membrane. Rounding out the designs, most pieces also feature subtle detailing such as small red Stone Island Marina stars and tone-on-tone Stone Island logos.
