As I was walking in the back streets, I felt a rain drop.
Kurashiki in the rain could be fun, I think for a moment, but the awning of a storehouse probably won’t provide reliable shelter, so I make a dash for my accommodation.
I cover my head with the hood of my coat and run along the stone pavement, rain splashing with each step.
Even if I get completely hit with rain I’m feeling ok, thanks to the Gore-Tex that I threw on before coming out.
I glance down at the sleeves and see rain rolling off the durable nylon material, protecting what I’m wearing inside.
It can be rolled up and stuffed in a bag but is a life saver when there’s sudden rain.
It’s like a superhero suit, I think to myself, and decide to continue on my walk in the rain after all.
GORE-TEX Cruiser Jacket
SUAS018
Cruiser Jacket is also made in “GORE-TEX PACLITEⓇ PLUS,” the new fabric being used for the first time this season.
Comprised of a 2-layer structure, of thick 40D nylon surface material and backside of membrane with protective coating, it is resistant against rain and wind and keeps inside of clothing comfortable.
It’s design motif is the “FRENCH MILITARY SMOCK” from the 50s, with a draw-chord that can be tightened to make it into a smock.
The jacket can be folded tightly and stored in its case (included with jacket), making it very packable.
The steel blue of the fabric is based on the color of mountain parkas from the past, and it also comes in mustard and black.
The inner lining comes in two colors, black and titanium.

The short length is just right, so that the coat doesn’t get in the way when getting on and off vehicles.
A different style can be enjoyed when the hood is removed.

The coat also comes in mustard and black.
