MERINO WOOL Originating from the Merino breed of sheep, this wool is naturally very fine and soft to the touch, while also having an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio from microscopic cortices of dead hair that trap body heat and store moisture. When wet, this wool can absorb 30% of it’s weight in water before feeling wet to the touch, making it an excellent insulator in the harshest of conditions. In addition to all these benefits, merino is also naturally antibacterial, making it excellent for multi-day excursions.

AEROGEL INSULATION With its nano-sized air pockets that block cold and heat, aerogel is an ultra-thin, compression-resistant and waterproof insulator with the lowest thermal conductivity of any solid. It is the same insulation NASA uses to protect astronauts and sensitive equipment on missions to outer space. Created by extracting the liquid from silica gel, aerogel produces a strong, durable and flexible material that is up to five times more effective than traditional thermal insulation. Other insulation materials require loft to insulate. Aerogel does not need loft to deliver its high insulation value, making it an ideal insulator between cold metal handlebars and the palms of your hands.

WATERPROOF-BREATHABLE MEMBRANE An ultra-thin sheet of microporous material behind our textile shells keeps you dry and warm in the harshest weather conditions. Liquid water molecules from outside of the garment are larger than vapor molecules created by body heat from the inside. The microscopic pores are smaller than liquid water molecules, but larger than vapor molecules. As a result, waterproof-breathable membranes stop liquid from the outside, but release vapor from the inside for thermal and moisture regulation.
