Parkawear History
Welcome to the story of Parkawear.
We are thrilled to have you join us on this journey. Parkawear's odyssey is a captivating one, stretching from the vibrant streets of Korea to the lush landscapes of New Zealand.
Our story is rooted in a family tradition – my uncle and father, artisans of high-quality rain jackets in Korea. With a legacy spanning over five decades, our jackets have been the choice of major corporations like Hyundai and Samsung.
You might wonder why this history matters. Well, it's the heart of our narrative. Before we delve deeper, let me introduce myself. I was raised in Korea and later found a new home in New Zealand, a land renowned for its torrential rains and robust winds. Here, a reliable rain jacket isn't just an accessory; it's a necessity.
My personal journey with rain jackets began with the company-provided ones, which I found burdensome. They were cumbersome, straining my shoulders and waist, and quite a hassle to wear.
Seeking comfort, I reached out to my uncle back in Korea, requesting a shipment of our family-made jackets. Wearing them in New Zealand, I noticed people's fascination with our distinctive yellow rain jackets and their eagerness to know where they could get them.
This revelation was a turning point. I realized I wasn't the only one seeking lighter alternatives to traditional, heavy rain jackets.
Thus, Parkawear was born. We dedicated nearly a year to research and development, tailoring our products to cater specifically to New Zealand's unique climate.
A common concern might be, "Are these lightweight jackets durable?" With over 50 years of expertise in developing waterproof garments, we've mastered creating products that withstand wear and tear without compromising on protection. Our rain jackets are not only waterproof but also breathable. When you experience Parkawear, you will instantly recognize the difference in comfort and performance.
I am confident that Parkawear will significantly enhance your daily life, offering comfort without sacrificing style or durability. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
