Prada Sport Signature Gore-Tex Ski Jacket - F/W2000
Prada Sport Signature Gore-Tex Ski Jacket - F/W2000
The Prada Sport line was launched in the late 90s with the intent of producing athleisure garments with materials and shapes that assimilated the features of ‘technical mountain clothes’. The signature Prada red tag later cemented itself in streetwear culture throughout the 2000s. Only the first few seasons of the Prada Sport line were ever featured on the runway, showcasing a beautiful range of highly technical pieces that clearly separated Prada Sport from the athletic diffusion lines of competitors. The earlier seasons are a favourite of many Prada collectors and design enthusiasts as it displays the perfect blend between technical and sophisticated design that was achieved by Prada in this era.
This piece is easily one of the rarest and best-designed jackets ever produced by Prada for their sport line, available here in the signature military green colour. It features a very unique Gore-Tex exterior fabric that was developed especially for Prada by W.L. Gore in 1999, with polyster padding for warmth. The exterior is highly durable with a rough feel similar to ballistic nylon that has a very unique appearance in daylight, almost like a liquid metal effect. The arms have double panels over the elbows for optimal protection in hard-wearing places. There are 2 standard hand pockets and 2 interior stash pockets. Features such as the concealable nylon hood, interior elasticated cuffs, interior powder skirt and fleece-lined collar make it perfect for wet and cold conditions. Rounded off by a signature red tab across the chest.
Great condition with very minimal signs of wear or age. One of the best examples of this piece we have come across.
