Trail Mix Collection
The Trail Mix Pullover and Jacket pair a bluesign-approved, high-performance polyester grid fleece fabric with versatile silhouettes that work for the trail, the crag and simply for everyday use. On the inside, these 200-weight fleece pieces use ActiveTempT, a thermo-regulating treatment that regulates the internal microclimate, and boosts comfort. By dynamically changing, ActiveTemp helps keep the wearer warm when they’re at rest and cool and comfortable when they’re on the move, bolstering the wicking, quick-drying and breathable performance of the fleece. The Trail Mix collection is available in a men’s Snap Pullover, a women’s Cowl Pullover, and men’s and women’s Jackets. $89 and $99.
Apollo Stretch Jacket
Building on the affordable Apollo program, first introduced in 2019, the Apollo Stretch Jacket adds improved mobility to the less-expensive rainwear category by pairing a soft, stretchy nylon twill fabric with 2.5-layer waterproof Ventia TM construction. The result is a shell that offers far more value than its price tag would imply. The goal of this program continues to be to hit a higher performance benchmark than what’s currently offered in the less-expensive rainwear category. Elegant in its everything-you-need, nothing-you-don’t approach, the Apollo Stretch Jacket delivers excellent performance at an approachable cost. Men’s and women’s fits. $130.
Men’s Astroman Sun Hoody, Women’s Optimist Sun Hoody
There’s no better warm-weather outdoor shirt than these. Really. What makes them great? They’re incredibly durable and abrasion-resistant, super stretchy, very lightweight and airy, offer UPF-rated sun protection and are great looking — all in one package. Made for hot, rugged places, the Astroman and Optimist Hoodies are built with a high-performance fabric that is primarily nylon for abrasion resistance with some Spandex for superb stretch. They offer UPF 30 sun protection. A half-zip front makes it easy to get on and off, and a three-panel hood with a drawcord allows easy adjustment for changing conditions. The Astroman is an ode to one of our longest-standing athletes, Hans Florine, of Yosemite climbing fame. To celebrate the first-ever women’s version of this product, we chose the name Optimist to celebrate out athlete Beth Rodden’s first free ascent — by man or woman — of the 5.14b route of the same name in Smith Rock, Oregon. $89.
Equinox Pants, Convertible Pants, and Shorts
A significant update to what’s already considered one of the most versatile outdoor and travel pants on the market, the new Equinox bottoms feature a much cleaner aesthetic and improved fit. They were updated with direction from focus groups in Bend, OR, Chattanooga, TN, and Seattle, WA. Moreover, the convertible pants integrate the zipper in an offset manner, blending with surrounding fabric so that it looks like a design feature, and eliminating it visually along with the “hoop” effect of having a circular zipper profile in the pants. This is hands down, the best-looking convertible pant on the market. Otherwise, clean design lines pair with a great-looking, bluesign-approved nylon/spandex plain weave fabric that features UPF 50+ sun protection, water resistance, a gusseted crotch, and articulated knees. Men’s and women’s fits. $69 to $99.
