There are few things more satisfying than watching the rain bead off your waterproof jacket — so picking the right one is not to be underestimated. As a new design attempt for all-weather outdoor gear, Guangdong-based outdoor apparel brand NORYBRAND (short for Non-Governmental Organizations-ARMY) recently launched a 3L hardshell jacket under its IO series. This item is designed with the core concept of "providing a comprehensive experience for multi-scenario outdoor sports," ensuring all-around performance from the inside out.
Applicable scenarios include daily commute, urban sports and casual outdoor. This three-layer hardshell jacket is made from 156g high waterproofing and level 4 surface moisture-resistant technical fabric. The specially treated 100% polyester fabric features excellent waterproof performance, effectively blocking rainwater and other liquids from penetrating to keep you dry. Even in harsh rain, snow, or relatively high-altitude conditions, it maintains reliable windproof and waterproof effectiveness. The entire garment's seam joints and zipper areas are fully treated with tape-sealing technology, with a width exceeding 10mm, to enhance water-repellent performance. To enhance protection in vulnerable areas, the jacket features an adjustable drawstring on the hood and hem, along with Velcro fasteners at the cuffs. Additionally, the hood is designed with a sturdy, extended brim to shield the face from rain and snow.
As for the interior, it features ultra-lightweight 30D fabric that is breathable, combining ventilation with protection, making it significantly less burdensome compared to traditional hardshell jackets. From a design perspective, this item features a layered patchwork structure with large panels. The two colorways incorporate light-and-dark tonal splicing, complemented by white panels on the side waist and inner arms—blending functionality with stylistic design. Echoing the colours is the high-frequency wave embossed 3D print at the collar, crafted with a thick-layer technique, further enhancing the dimensional texture of the outfit.
