TRENDS

Our latest Trend Byte brings us to our next Interconnected sub-trend called we are calling Exploration of Outdoors, which includes unique 5 themes. The first theme is called Storm Proofing Property

Storm Proofing Property predicts that new levels of protection will be needed to navigate more extreme weather patterns such as mega-storms and extreme cold. Additionally, a boom in winter sports will increase demand for technical outerwear. Long-lasting, durable and climate-adaptive shells with functions including water-repellency, windproofing, and thermoregulation will drive new innovations in this category.
