OUR PROPRIETARY FABRIC CONSTRUCTIONS 2016

  • 1
    Wind-blocking, water-defying membrane provides ultimate protection from even the worst weather
  • 2
    Co-knitted, fine-micron Merino wool provides the ultimate balance of durability and thermal performance in a single-layer construction
  • A COMPLETELY NEW FRONTIER IN TECHNICAL TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION

    Compared to the last 30 years of multi-layer, 'glue-based' weatherproofing technology, this patented construction relies on the direct integration of a weatherproofing membrane in to the core of the fabric itself.  The result:  A soft, supple, single layer, 'sweater-like' fabric with previously unattainable breathability and weather resistance.  New for 2023, CORE CONSTRUCTION® Technology features the unique ability to insert a brand new array of highly functional core materials, as well as even the finest gauge yarns.  From the re-definition of fleece, to the next generation of technical tees, to offering seamless digital functionality in fabrics, CORE CONSTRUCTION® represents a new frontier of technical textile construction.

    Fine-micron Merino wool provides ultra-thin, lightweight performance
  • 2
    A razor-thin layer of co-knitted wicking fibers provides lightweight reinforcing strength as well as moves sweat at lightning speed
  • LIGHT AS A FEATHER

    Weighing in up to 50 grams less than classic ultralight wool fabrics on the market, DUAL SURFACE UL™ Precision Blended Wool delivers an unprecedented level of warm-weather comfort and all-season performance in a sun-shielding lightweight construction.

    High-vis, fine micron Merino wool, interlaced with fluorescing performance fibers ensures on-road visibility in low-light conditions
  • 2
    Co-knitted, high-performance wicking fibers pull moisture off the skin and accelerate the evaporation of sweat
  • WOOL TO BE SEEN IN

    Leveraging an outer matrix of high-visibility performance fibers interlaced with fine-micron Merino Wool, PHASE-Hvis™ Technology brings a completely new dimension of performance to the world of traditionally light-absorbing natural fibers.  Finally, all of the anti-microbial and thermal regulating benefits of wool in a high-vis package.

    19.5-micron Merino Wool provides the ultimate balance of durability and lightweight thermal performance
  • 2
    A razor-thin layer of co-knitting wicking fibers provides lightweight reinforcing strength as well as moves sweat at lightning speed
  • MOISTURE WICKING THERMAL PERFORMANCE

    Ideal for next-to-skin applications, this fine-micron wool construction features a thin inner layer of high-performance wicking yarns designed to pull moisture off the body and disperse it on to the outer-facing surface of the fabric.  Once there, the natural temperature and moisture regulating properties of wool are free to take over, keeping you dry and comfortable long after the furnace stops burning.

    A durable water repellent treatment (DWR) – specifically designed for wool that sheds water and snow
  • 2
    Moisture-wicking fleece provides unparalleled warmth
  • 3
    Rugged 21.5-micron wool provides the ultimate balance of strength and thermal performance
  • 4
    A co-knitted matrix of high performance nylon adds an entirely new level of abrasion resistance for use with backpack straps, beacon harnesses, and other surfaces
  • A NEW BREED OF THERMAL WOOL

    Our answer to the demand for a tougher breed of midlayer wool.  Soft, comfortable, and warm enough to live in, this unique construction features a durable 21.5 micron wool reinforced by an array of outer facing nylon fibers.  Finished off with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating, this backcountry fabric is built to work equally well under a shell or alone.

  • ENHANCED LOW LIGHT PERFORMANCE

    Compared to traditional surface printed camo on flat/shiny synthetic fabrics, our wool based solution is colored down to the yarn level to maximize the unique non-fluorescing performance of our favorite natural fiber.  This eliminates the 'synthetic glow' common to hunting in sunrise/sunset conditions with traditional synthetic camo.

    OUR MOST RUGGED WOOL FABRIC

    Constructed from our most burly 21.5-micron Merino wool, reinforced with high performance nylon and finished with a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, this new-to-the-world, 4-way stretch fabric construction is the perfect building block for true mountain workwear.
