lululemon and GORE-TEX announce Silent Type collection

Performance apparel brand lululemon has announced its first collaboration with GORE-TEX, introducing the Silent Type collection. The line focuses on combining high-performance weather protection with comfort and quietness, utilizing advanced ePE (expanded polyethylene) membranes.

The collection features six items across men’s and women’s styles, including rain jackets, raincoats, and waterproof down jackets. The designs aim to reduce the friction noise typically associated with technical outerwear by using specialized outer fabrics and brushed tricot linings. The waterproof down jacket utilizes 700-fill power RDS-certified goose down, designed to provide warmth in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius.

In Japan, the collection will be available through select BEAMS locations. A pre-sale begins on November 13 at three Tokyo-based stores, followed by a wider release on December 3 at six additional locations.
