Reliable warmth for sustained activity, thanks to Thermic Stretch Pro Fleece
Thermic Stretch Pro Fleece blends recycled polyester, polyamide and elastane to deliver insulation with stretch. The construction increases durability and accelerates drying after exertion or moisture exposure.
Warmth stays close to the body while movement continues unimpeded, so overheating and restriction are reduced. Quick-drying properties help the baselayer remain comfortable during multi-day use.
Low-bulk layering, with Next to Skin Fit
Next to Skin Fit sits close to the body to minimise bunching under shells and ski trousers, while elastane content maintains stretch and recovery. Flat seams and smooth finishes reduce friction against outer layers.
Layering under hiking trousers or ski shells becomes straightforward, maintaining mobility on steeper terrain or when crouching into boots. The slim profile also keeps inner layers stable during high-movement activities.
Alpine-ready durability and comfort, with Flexile 200 waistband and reinforced finishing
Flexile 200 waistband offers a soft edged fit designed to stay in place without digging in, combined with smooth flatlock seams and double-layered hemming for abrasion resistance. Construction choices reduce wear at stress points.
Waistband comfort keeps focus on the activity rather than garment adjustment, while reinforced hems and seams extend usable life on rocky routes and frequent use. Reduced chafing improves long-day comfort.
