Shell
UNISEX ALPINE // UNIT: 21.5K WATERPROOF // 15K BREATHABLE
Deployment Range:
The gold standard for high-intensity alpine action. A dedicated technical fortress featuring ultra-durable 100D high-tenacity nylon face fabric, YKK AquaGuard® Vislon hardware, ultra-precise seam taping, 21.5k waterproofing, and 15k breathability — engineered for dynamic movement and relentless weather defense in the harshest mountain conditions.
Architecture & Design Logic
21.5k Waterproof // 15k Breathable Membrane
The Why: We utilized an ultra-durable 100D high-tenacity nylon shell paired with a 21,500mm waterproof membrane and a 15,000g breathability rating. While 15k is already a high-performance spec, we intentionally prioritize mechanical ventilation through oversized pit-zips because real-world airflow is significantly more effective than relying solely on membrane breathability numbers during high-output movement.
Total Stormproof Defense
The Why: The shell is engineered with YKK AquaGuard® Vislon main zippers and ultra-precise seam taping to create a complete barrier against moisture intrusion and wind penetration. Every closure point is designed to withstand prolonged exposure to heavy snow, wet storms, and aggressive alpine conditions.
Mechanical Thermal Regulation
The Why: To manage heat during touring, bootpacks, and high-output riding, we integrated oversized dual pit-zips for rapid manual ventilation. This system moves heat and moisture dramatically faster than membrane breathability alone while maintaining the shell’s weatherproof integrity when fully sealed.
Kinetic Alpine Fit
The Why: An ergonomic cut with articulated sleeves and a 4-point adjustable hood moves seamlessly with your body in demanding terrain. The silhouette is optimized to layer naturally over insulation while remaining clean and unrestricted during technical movement.
Expedition Utility Storage
The Why: The system features two massive external chest-mounted pockets for gloves, skins, and fast-access essentials, alongside an oversized internal goggle/skin drop pocket and a secure internal zip pocket for valuables and electronics. Every storage zone is positioned for accessibility while wearing a pack or harness.

Technical Care Guide
1. PREP: Empty all pockets and close all zippers and Velcro tabs to prevent abrasion during the cycle.
2. WASH: Machine wash warm (40°C) using a specialized technical cleaner like Nikwax Tech Wash. Never use standard household detergents or fabric softeners, as they clog the membrane and strip DWR.
3. DRY: Line dry or tumble dry on a low/gentle heat setting. Tumble drying for 20 minutes after drying is essential to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
4. RESTORE: When water stops beading on the surface, clean the garment and apply a DWR re-proofing spray while wet to maintain waterproofing integrity.
