How is the 'wearable gear' mentioned in the introduction different from ordinary clothes?
The situation is that the user wants to know what it means because the unfamiliar expression 'wearable gear' is emphasized in the product introduction instead of the word clothing.
It means that the design principles of equipment that functions outdoors, such as camping chairs or tents, have been directly applied to clothes worn on the body.
Wearable gear refers to outdoor equipment in a form that can be worn on the body. HELINOX WEAR made this concept its core concept to define clothes not as fashion items that merely decorate outward appearances, but as equipment that fully plays its role outdoors[1].
Behind this approach lies the history of equipment manufacturing built up by the brand. HELINOX is a manufacturer that started in 2009 with trekking poles utilizing aluminum materials and has produced lightweight and sturdy camping furniture[2]. HELINOX WEAR is precisely the brand presented as HELINOX, which had been manufacturing outdoor furniture, newly entered the fashion field[3]. It directly transferred the lightweight and function-centered furniture design principles, solidified while making tents and chairs, into the process of making clothes[4].
hmmm, it is close to an attitude that views clothes not simply as fabric draped over the body, but as a tool that endures rough outdoor environments together.
Among the design principles of existing outdoor furniture, it has not yet been confirmed which specific processing methods or subsidiary materials were identically used in garment manufacturing.
