For FW 17/18 there will be huge developments like the creation of the two new categories and the complete renovation on the Hiking line” said Marco Sancandi, Director of Operations of Garmont International. “This comeback with a complete Fall Winter collection is the clear example of the turnaround that is happening in the company. From now on we would cyclically like to develop a complete Spring Summer collection and a Fall Winter one. This intention is also proved by Garmont®’s investments in Fall Winter tradeshows such as Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City (10^th-12^th January 2017), ISPO Munich (5^th-8^th February 2017) and ISPO Beijing (15^th-18^th February 2017) to present the collection.”
