Worn for an open-air workout or when relaxing and recovering, our stretchy, breathable and wicking fleece hoodie moves comfortably from active motion to active rest. The secret is high-grade Karuishi® stretch fleece, a circular knit fabric that features a smooth resilient surface but is softly fleeced on the interior. More akin to a technical sweatshirt, the four-way stretch construction is a mountain fitness match for runs, rides or hikes in any season. Shaped for outdoor action—but in a stealth, understated way—the streamlined, trim-fit piece features an underarm gusset, an invisible zip pocket and flatlock seams to reduce layering friction. Now with an updated fit in the sleeves for greater comfort.
Karuishi® is a technical fleece concept based on lightweight warmth and durability. A special 2-layer knitted construction creates an abrasion-resistant, anti-pilling face and a lofty, brushed next-to-skin backing. The end result is a high volume, lightweight insulator that breathes exceptionally well.
As caretakers of the mountain life, we recognize our responsibility to support organizations and people who share our vision to drive positive change for people and the planet. We’re proud to partner with some tremendous organizations in their missions to responsibly advance outdoor recreation and protect our wild surroundings.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. Over 50% of our product line incorporates preferred materials, which include organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down. We are committed to growing our preferred materials usage to 75% by 2025 and to completely eliminating PFAS from our garments by 2025.
Our apparel is built to last. As a part of our efforts to reduce waste and keep more gear in the mountains where it belongs, our home-grown gear renewal program allows previously-used items to be traded in, cleaned, repaired and circulated back into use.
