Introducing VERTEX-NXL by Dimito for This Thing of Ours
Written by Ali George Hinkins
Founded in 2009, Dimito is a snowboarding and skiing brand from Korea that is made up of individuals who have worked in the Korean snowboarding industry for more than 25 years, bringing their expertise to a collective goal.
In the outdoor sports world, Dimito is the Korean equivalent of what Burton is in the West, supplying the necessary equipment to those seeking to embrace the cold and snow.
Where Dimito is more performance-focused and intended to be used solely on the slopes, VERTEX-NXL is the brand’s diffusion line that fuses outdoor-focused functionalities with a streetwear aesthetic. While maintaining the core functionality of its designs, VERTEX-NXL elevates shell jackets, insulated down jackets, bottoms and gloves to a newfound context: a place where apparel can be worn in urban and outdoor settings.
The result is looser silhouettes constructed using professional-grade materials like GORE-TEX and Primaloft, as well as hardware like RECCO and Cohaesive that are all typically found on skiing or snowboarding pieces to maximise their technical properties. With VERTEX-NXL, you are effectively getting the best of both worlds: a piece of outerwear, for example, that looks at home in the city but can navigate you through testing conditions, like the slopes.
While Dimito supplies the technical know-how, the team that works directly on VERTEX-NXL approaches the process slightly differently to ensure the garment is fit for purpose in a performance context but, also, can be worn on a daily basis without looking out of place.
