Athlete-centric, solutions-minded approach.
The Advanced Mountain Kit was born from a need to evolve our approach to layering to meet the needs and use case of our athlete team. We sponsored an elite group of alpinists, including David Lama, that were redefining boundaries of movement in the mountains, completing 8k meter objectives in a matter of days which take a traditional expedition outfit weeks or months to complete.
We set out to create to make the lightest and most dynamic layering system that would revolutionize the performance of each layer, and that would work in concert to manage heat and moisture all the way through the system.
This included a revolutionary new down insulation construction called 5050, which attaches down-filled tubes to a high-CFM face fabric, allowing the garment to thermoregulate during activity.
This garment won Product of the Year at ISPO 2020 in Munich.
