we designed this for us. we who run. we who move. to keep warm at the start on a dark, cold morning run but to stay temperate as the sun and temperatures rise. we wanted versatility. designed for running but built to perform throughout mixed conditions and the variety of cold weather cardio driven sports we play at.
a breathable recycled outer shell and C0 DWR for performance and protection. our insulated©️-fit hood for the coldest of days. a two way front zip opens up for extra venting when needed. reflective details. integrated AIRBeam™ venting and strategic panels of COOLmatic | EXP™ DIAMAfleece with carbon elevate this garment’s ability to regulate temperature from start to finish and we’ve harnessed the natural power of Sorino | WS light loft insulation, using wool and silk for exceptional warmth and thermo regulation with less bulk.

Size Guide
Our kit is cut for running: close where it needs to stay put, roomy where you need to move. Measure yourself once, then use the charts below. Between two sizes? Go up.
How to measure

Use a soft tape measure and wear light layers. Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight.
- Chest. Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
- Waist. Measure around your natural waist, the narrowest point above your belly button.
- Hips. Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
- Inseam. Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of your leg, or take it from a pair of shorts that already fit well.

Know your Fabrics
COOLmatic™

A diamond grid of recycled pile. Warm where the fleece is, breathable through the channels.
MIKRAmesh™
A fine, airy mesh for cap panels and headbands, so heat has somewhere to go.
PFC-free DWR
A water-repellent finish without forever chemicals. Light rain beads up and rolls off.
Every piece we sell gets run in first, through rain, heat and early starts.
