GORE-TEX is a high-performance fabric that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities like skiing or snowboarding. Choosing GORE-TEX gear can enhance your experience by keeping you protected from the elements.

Insulated clothing is designed to trap heat and keep you warm in cold conditions. It can be made from materials like synthetic fibers or down feathers. When you choose insulated gear, you’re investing in comfort and warmth, which is essential for enjoying winter sports or outdoor adventures.

Critically sealed seams are a construction feature that prevents water from leaking through the seams of your clothing. This is crucial for maintaining the waterproof quality of your gear, especially in wet conditions. When you see this feature, you can trust that your gear will keep you dry and comfortable.

Venting refers to openings in the clothing that allow for airflow, helping to regulate your body temperature. For example, outer-thigh vents can be opened to release excess heat during intense activity. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining comfort and preventing overheating while you’re on the slopes.

The face fabric is the outer layer of a garment that protects the insulation and inner layers from moisture and abrasion. In our products, the face fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester, making it both durable and environmentally friendly. Choosing gear with quality face fabric ensures longevity and performance in harsh conditions.

Using 100% recycled polyester in the face fabric reduces waste and the demand for new raw materials, which helps lower the environmental impact of production. By choosing products made from recycled materials, you’re supporting sustainable practices and contributing to a healthier planet while enjoying high-quality outdoor gear.
