A flexible mid layer can be one of the most useful pieces of kit in your expedition armoury. What you need is a mid-layer that can regulate your temperature, keeping you warm during periods of low activity but breathable enough to prevent you overheating as you ramp up the exercise.
Additional qualities like wind and water resistance will help widen a reliable mid-layer to a dependable, year-round layering option. Our range of mid-layers, constructed from carefully-selected smart-synthetic fabrics, are designed to do all this and more.
THIS SEASON'S HIGHLIGHTS
NEW
MOORLAND
Inspired by heritage design, adapted for technical performance, the HeriTech Moorland Fleece is made from Polartec® Thermal Pro™ and features a TekWax® chest pocket from British Millerain, with a Clarino microfibre suede facing detail inside the neck.
Best for breathability
PHALANX
This quintessential fleece, featuring Polartec® High Loft™, is one of our most trusted designs for a reason. It’s seen service across the world from the torrential weather of Skye to the tundra of the Himalayas and it’s not let us down. The patented high loft construction that gives the fabric its name helps trap more body warmth with the use of longer fleece yarns than conventional insulation.
Best for all round comfort
MANTRA
Our Mantra range is designed to give you all the comfort of traditional shearling with the added performance of a synthetic fleece fabric. Available in both a classic fleece silhouette and a gilet – we’ve designed the range with maximum application in mind. Each piece in the Mantra range is constructed from Polartec® Thermal Pro™ which provides an excellent warmth to weight ratio plus the added advantage of anti-pilling technology.
Best for technical pursuits
CENTURION
Proudly championing an Apex Award for innovation, the Centurion Alpine Jacket makes use of three different Polartec® technologies to create a soft-shell optimised for climbing, abseiling and all-round active pursuits. Polartec® Power Air™, Power Stretch™ and HardFace™ have been chosen specifically to maximise breathability, flexibility and durability.
BEST FOR DURABILITY
VELES
The Veles is a graphene-enhanced, soft-shell jacket well suited for advanced technical pursuits owing to its light weight and versatile build. Designed to be compatible with a climbing harness, the Veles doubles up as a wind and water resistant, thermal regulating layer for hiking, trekking and packs down well for multi-day expeditions.
