Built For
Ski Touring & Skin-Track
10° – 30°F
Skin-track up, lift line down, transition at the car. Smartloft wool insulation manages the start-stop temperature swings better than synthetic — warm on the skin-track, breathable on the climb, warm again on the chair. Sleeveless cut frees the arms for pole plants.
Ice Climbing & Belay
Below 25°F
Static hanging belay in the shade of a frozen waterfall. The wool-blend fill holds warmth when you stop swinging tools and stand on a stance. Sleeveless cut prevents overheating during the lead while core stays warm on the second.
Woodpile, Shop, Cabin
15° – 40°F
Splitting wood, working in the unheated shop, walking the cabin approach. Wool insulation keeps working when you sweat through a stack of rounds and then cool down carrying them to the porch. The sleeveless cut prevents overheating during the work.
Winter Trail & Day Hike
20° – 45°F
Shoulder-season ridge walks, cold-weather day hikes, snow-packed trail days. The wind-resistant front panel handles the wind on exposed ridgelines; the four-way stretch side panels let you reach for your trekking poles without binding.
Layer Under It
Build The Foundation
The Smartloft Vest is the warm mid-layer in the system. Pair it with a Classic Thermal Merino base layer crew or hoodie to manage sweat and stay warm from skin out — the Merino against skin handles moisture under output, the Smartloft handles core warmth on the static moments.
- Men’s Classic Thermal Merino base layer crew cold days, full coverage
- Men’s Classic Thermal Merino hoodie extra neck coverage
- Men’s Classic Thermal Merino bottom matched system
- Men’s Intraknit All-Season base layer high-output days
Layer Over It
Add Weather Protection
The wind-resistant DWR front handles most conditions, but for full waterproof protection in heavy rain or wet snow, layer a hardshell over the Smartloft. The insulation’s loft compresses under a shell without losing core warmth.
- Hardshell jacket wet snow + heavy rain
- Lightweight windshell extra wind blocking
- Packable rain jacket emergency wet-weather layer
- Reversible cuffed Merino beanie head coverage
