This is a com­mer­cial for under­wear. A very good com­mer­cial. In fact, I bet you’ll want a few pairs once you’re done watching.

Enjoy.

Paul Webb DSGN Journal - Norwegian Rain High-Impact Gear 01

To quote the cre­ative direc­tor, Alexan­der Helle :

We have worked in three years to make the rain­coats as sub­tly func­tional as pos­si­ble. All seams are sealed. Air holes under arms and in neck.

The water tun­nel in the front is an off-shore detail hin­der­ing water pour­ing into the gar­ment while simul­ta­ne­ously allow­ing air to cir­cu­late out.

The high-end waterproof/breathable mem­brane are cov­ered with a satin layer to fur­ther keep the tech­ni­cal, high per­for­mance visu­ally understated.”

I must say, that grey one looks so fresh, it’s my favorite. On top of that, a rain­coat that actu­ally works with you? I am amazed. One of these coats will run you €899.00 / ~$1300.00 USD and this is a lim­ited edi­tion col­lec­tion of 350 pieces, all numbered.

Still, I am putting this on my wish­list [you never know!] in the hopes they do a re-issue/upgrade of some sort in the future.
