Portland, Ore.— Deeply rooted in the PNW, Danner’s new Performance Heritage Collection blends tradition and classic Danner styling with modern materials and functionality to create adventure-ready apparel that’s as dependable as it is timeless. Built to be casual yet capable, Performance Heritage is ultra-versatile with hidden performance tech for the trail and an appealing, every day, relaxed aesthetic.
Danner continues its “Legacy of Innovation” with hero styles featuring Gore-Tex—the two brands originally joined forces back in 1979 to create the world’s first breathable waterproof hiking boot. At the pinnacle is the Cascade Crest Packable 3L GTX Jacket, designed with the wet and rugged western slopes of the Cascades in mind—where rainfall is measured in feet, not inches. Featuring ultra-breathable and durably waterproof, three-layer Gore-Tex ePE membrane, taped seams, zippered ventilation and more. Pair this with the matching Unisex Cascade Crest Packable 3L GTX Rain Pants, featuring ankle zips for quick on/off when wearing boots and a side cargo pocket that doubles as a stuff sack to easily pack them away until the rain returns.
Equally notable, the Woodsman 2L GTX Jacket draws inspiration from the classic hunting jackets of yesteryear with its contrasting genuine leather collar, snap-off stowable hood, zigzag stitching, and roomy zippered “game pocket” in back. Don’t be fooled by its rugged, heavy duty, old-school good looks—it’s a completely redesigned and updated, fully waterproof Gore-Tex jacket that’s purpose-built to help you beat the rain and keep your adventure on track. Complete the look with thermal layers, sherpa fleece jackets and down vests; this modern performance collection has everything you need to comfortably enjoy the great outdoors.
“The Performance Heritage Collection reflects the casualness of how folks enjoy the outdoors in the PNW—our backyard. We can be in the middle of the woods, stand in a river, and adore rock formations in the high desert all on the same day,” says Yoji Kaneda, Director of Lifestyle Footwear/Apparel for Danner. “The variety of materials used in this collection ranges from natural materials like cotton, leather and down, combined with technical water-resistant treatments and modern materials like Cordura, Gore-Tex and Primaloft. The styles are a reflection of our material knowledge learned from decades of boot making history. Sometimes, garments don’t need to look or feel a certain way to enjoy the outdoors.”
Building upon the 1932 Collection released in 2024, Danner’s new Performance Heritage Collection is available now and includes the following styles: Cascade Crest Packable 3L GTX Jacket for men and women, Woodsman 2L GTX Jacket for men and women, Unisex Cascade Crest Packable 3L GTX Rain Pants, Overlook Thermal Shirt for men and women, Unisex Zig Zag Down Vest, Boulder Ridge Pants for men and women, Wolf Creek Sherpa Jacket for men and women, Santiam Waffle LS Tee for men and women, Unisex Oxbow GTX Hat, and Unisex Camper GTX Crushable Cap.
