_ANTISANA JACKET

Antisana: Man of wind and snow.

As my skiing evolves I find myself venturing further into the mountains. Unlike the resort where bad design may only result in discomfort, in the mountains your gear can kill you. I could not find a jacket that met my needs so I made my own.

Goal: Create a relaxed fit Jacket that maintains fit and articulation necessary for mountain navigation and free ride skiing. Simple, durable, repairable, timeless. Outerwear brands have found a formula, using the same factories, patterns, colors, and materials. Execute all of this in 2 weeks, just in time for a ski trip.

Design Objectives:

-Helmet compatible storm hood with completely unobstructed peripheral vision.

-Jacket should extremely durable, high abrasion resistance to handle climbing and contact with rock/tree branches.

-Jacket should have a unique backpack compatible venting and pocket system.

-User should not struggle or require the help of a friend to open vents while moving through the mountains.

-Jacket should accomplish the same mobility as a “ski mountaineering jacket” and maintain relaxed fit necessary for free ride skiing.

_CONCEPT

Rapid ideation through hand sketching

Black and white technical drawings of helmet cross-sections labeled "A-A" and "Cross section cut A-A" with side views.
Minimalistic white line drawings on a black background depicting abstract geometric shapes, possibly resembling outlines of coats or cloaks with hoods.
Sketch of a hooded jacket with zipper and pockets, labeled "Jacket R2."

_3D DESIGN

Rapid digital prototype iterations for base pattern block.

Pattern refinement with physical mockups for physical sample and manufacturability.
