BASE LAYER: NEXT TO SKIN
The first line of regulation.
The base layer is the foundation of the system. It sits directly against the skin and works without interruption, in motion and at rest. Its job is not to keep you warm. Its job is to keep you dry. Sweat, when trapped, becomes the fastest path to heat loss. A base layer that moves moisture away from the body before it cools is the difference between sustained performance and forced retreat.
- Moves moisture away from the skin to prevent chill
- Mantiene la continuidad térmica durante los cambios de intensidad del esfuerzo
- Se adapta perfectamente debajo de otras capas sin ningún tipo de restricción
MID LAYER: ACTIVE INSULATION
The adaptive layer of protection.
The mid layer is responsible for retaining warmth while allowing the body to keep moving efficiently. Worn above the base layer, it traps heat without sealing in excess moisture, creating a stable thermal buffer during changing conditions. Its role is to regulate body temperature during activity, balancing insulation and breathability so performance remains constant across climbs, descents, exposure, and recovery.
- Retains body heat without overheating during movement
- Regula la temperatura en función de las condiciones cambiantes y los niveles de esfuerzo
- Se superponen eficazmente bajo las chaquetas, al tiempo que conservan la movilidad y la transpirabilidad
SHELL: PROTECTION
The barrier. Wind, rain, spray, snow.
The shell is the outermost layer. It does not generate warmth. It defends what the layers beneath have already produced. Wind strips heat from the body faster than cold air alone. Water, once it reaches the inner layers, eliminates their function entirely. A shell stops both before they can compromise the system. Its presence is decisive in marginal conditions and essential in severe ones.
- Blocks wind and water from the outside
- Libera el vapor de agua del interior
- Permite un movimiento sin restricciones bajo carga
Outerwear Add-ons
Down jackets and gilets. Worn over or under, depending on conditions.
