DESCENTE ALLTERRAIN
DESCENTE ALLTERRAIN is the technical apparel line of Japanese sportswear maker Descente, applying the company's ski and athletic engineering to city wear. The range centers on seam-welded waterproof shells, articulated trousers, and the Mizusawa Down series, whose non-quilted, heat-sealed construction removes stitch holes for weather resistance. Garments favor muted colorways, minimal branding, and pattern cutting drawn from sport, positioning them between outdoor gear and contemporary menswear. Production and material development rely on Japanese mills and factories. Distribution runs through select boutiques and retailers including SSENSE.
