Outerwear:

Mountain Hardwear has been supplying high-altitude mountaineering expeditions since their inception.  They have continually developed technologies and designs to answer the challenges of these demanding endeavors.  Their outerwear line demonstrates the innovation and attention to detail that has gone into producing what is now the gear of choice for many high-altitude mountaineers and other extreme outdoor athletes.  These garments continue to utilize cutting-edge materials and construction techniques to become lighter, stronger, more functional, more streamlined.  And over the years they  have broadened the line to include more than just the most extreme mountain activities, so that Mountain Hardwear excellence is available to more than just elite outdoor athletes.

Winter Jackets

As a sidelight of producing gear for high-altitude mountaineering, Mountain Hardwear developed a set of features that are particularly suited for snow use.  Now they have designed a set of jackets that gather all these features together - powder skirts, tuch-away hoods, specialized pockets, glove rings, and more - to make them ideal for snow sports, be they on a groomed slope or deep in the backcountry.  The same advanced design ideas and attention to detail that goes into their outerwear, goes into these pieces.  This means forward-looking, smooth-functioning, durable, comfortable garments for all wintertime adventurers.

Ski and Snowboard Baselayer

Mountain Hardwear's baselayer category covers the bases from extreme expeditions to casual summer backpacking.  Whether you're looking for super lightweight, high insulative value, stretch fabric, or odor-fighting ability, you will find a comfortable piece to fit your needs.

Mountainwear:

Pack and Trail

Pack & Trail shirts and pants are responses to a hard look at what backpackers and hikers need for comfort.  Forinstance, the shirts have seams moved away from possible pack-strap-abrasion areas, and many of the pants feature a micro-chamois-lined, seamless, conical waist to combat abrasion from a waist belt (a design unique enough to warrant a patent).  All Pack & Trail materials are durable and moisture managing.

Excursion

The watchwords for Excursion clothing are light, venting, and fast-drying.  These pieces are designed to help you keep your cool when the weather turns hot.  Excursion clothes have an airy, comfortable fit, UPF ratings, and a moisture-management treatment so that they can act as a mobile oasis for you.  Great for summer travel or fly fishing in the tropics.  Many of the pieces have the pack-friendly features of the Pack & Trail line.  

Vertical Performance

Pure and simple, Vertical Performance pieces are climbing clothes.  Rugged materials, a loose fit, gussets that allow a full range-of-motion, and a patented, one-time waist adjustment add up to just the ticket for attacking El Captitan or bouldering in the desert.

Mountain Performance

Are you a trail runner?  A mountain biker?  If you do any sort of outdoor aerobic activity Mountain Hardwear Performance shirts and pants may be just right for you.  They do a great job of moving moisture away from your skin and are extremely quick-drying.  Some pieces also use mesh panels for additional venting and stretch fabric for a more kinetic fit.  They look pretty kinetic too.
