    Q&A with @futurefcc, Osaka

    GORE-TEX Studio: How would you describe yourself in one sentence? I work in a second-hand clothing shop.

    GORE-TEX Studio: Tell us a bit about your city’s climate. What is your favorite method of transportation and why? How do you prepare for bad weather if you spend time outside? I think Osaka has a really pleasant climate. I like summertime the most. I like to cycle around while I’m listening to music.

    GORE-TEX Studio: What are you wearing today? Why are you wearing it, and did you have a particular weather scenario in mind when choosing this piece? What do you love most about your GORE-TEX product? I like my Arc’teryx Beta, not just because it’s light and functional, but also because it's trendy.

    GORE-TEX Studio: Where and when did you get this? Do you have any special memories connected to this item? If you could go anywhere, where would you like to take this piece? My boyfriend gave me this Arc’teryx shell as an early birthday present. He's planning to take me on a trip to the hot springs in Takahara, so I'm looking forward to that.

    GORE-TEX Studio: Why do you think functional clothing has become more popular in recent years? I think it's not just the functionality, but the materials and the details are stylish, and it looks cool and is comfortable to wear.

    GORE-TEX Studio: How do you define comfort when it comes to technical apparel? I would say lightweight clothing feels especially comfortable.

    GORE-TEX Studio: What are you looking forward to in the next six months, and are there any upcoming challenges that you're excited about? Since I am moving to a new city soon, I want to grow and evolve through lots of new experiences and new challenges.
