We sent our resident gear tester out into the field for some early season product testing in the new Oyuki Goshiki NetPlus 3L jacket to see how it holds up in powder, wind, rain and all the variable days that December can throw at it.
We were drawn to the Goshiki for its excellent fit and clever, purpose-driven design — a jacket built for the deepest days imaginable.
Packed with well-placed storage and touring-friendly features, this is one for riders who chase soft snow wherever it hides. If your ideal day involves skin tracks, storm days and sneaky sidecountry laps, you’ll feel right at home.
To build the Goshiki jacket Oyuki have turned to NetPlus, a recycled nylon made from reclaimed fishing nets. It cuts the carbon footprint of material production by around 67% compared to virgin nylon — all without sacrificing durability.
As a 3L shell the inner lining, waterproof membrane and outer fabric are bonded into a single tough-yet-comfortable layer. And with a 20K/20K waterproof/breathability rating, it’s built to keep you dry on sweaty ascents and snowy descents alike.
Being uninsulated, you can also dial in your temperature using layers — ideal for touring, where conditions (and your internal thermostat) tend to fluctuate wildly.
The fit impressed our tester straight out of the bag. It’s true to size, sits naturally at the waist and feels clean on the frame. For riders chasing today’s boxier aesthetic, there’s also a hem drawstring for cinching.
Despite its sleek profile, it boasts a truly bodacious storage compacity.
You get:
All of them are placed to remain easily accessible while wearing a touring pack.
You also get all the powder-day essentials: a powder skirt, articulated cuffs, pit vents for airflow, and fully taped seams.
For riders who want a highly technical backcountry-ready jacket that doesn’t compromise on comfort, the Goshiki is a standout. It feels exceptionally engineered, with every detail serving a purpose.
I was impressed from the moment this jacket arrived. It ships in plant-based packaging and uses NetPlus fabric — proper, meaningful sustainability rather than greenwashing.
Once I pulled the jacket on, the quality of it’s construction became apparent – the fit was fantastic and when tested on snow in some of the most variable early season conditions (think dreamy powder to torrential downpour and everything between) it held up superbly and I got back in the car as dry as the moment I left.
I’ll admit I was slightly wary of the pastel blue colour at first. At well over 6ft, I usually gravitate toward darker tones to avoid looking like a walking lighthouse. But after about the fifth compliment in the lift line, the ego was adequately stroked and the colour earned its seal of approval.
My only minor gripe was the wrist gaiters feeling a little tight, but that’s a recurring issue for me and will only affect similarly lanky riders.
Great jacket — no complaints.
