What to know about g-lab
Outerwear only, essentially
The Düsseldorf team designs almost nothing but jackets, parkas and coats, with models like the Commander field jacket carrying the label's reputation.
Mountain fabrics, city silhouettes
Laminated windproof, waterproof and breathable shells with zip-out thermal liners are cut in restrained urban shapes rather than sportswear proportions.
Price buys the construction
High-tier cost reflects multi-layer builds, cargo and fleece-lined pockets and reflective detail; production runs through Asian suppliers, not Europe.
