MONTANE HIKING LIGHTER

The top-notch GORE-TEX Active material that makes up the Phase Lite delivers breathability and reliable shelter in the hills. It's a fully featured jacket – with a peaked hood, good-sized hand pockets and fully taped seams – yet still highly packable.

A lightweight take on the classic windproof insulated jacket, the Fireball Nano packs 40g/m2 of Dynamic Eco Insulation around your core, sandwiched between a stretchy Featherlite Air material that will keep the stiffest of breezes at bay.

Made from Raptor Flex four-way stretch material, with a PFC-free DWR coating, the Dynamic Pant is the lightweight legwear you need for all manner of 3-season adventures. Comfortable, durable and understated, with articulated knees and three handy pockets.

The Protium Lite occupies that vital midlayer/baselayer territory for colder conditions. An under-helmet hood amps up the warmth when needed, while the Thermo Grid Lite fabric is toasty and supremely comfortable.

When is a t-shirt more than just a t-shirt? When it’s a Dart. Low profile flatlocked sewn seams combine with soft and super-wicking Apex Eco fabric for lightweight comfort, while Polygiene permanent odour control keeps you fresh as a daisy.
