Jack Wolfskin Lakeside Roll-Up Shirt

Heading to Pemby with your pals? Take a JACK WOLFSKIN LAKESIDE ROLL-UP SHIRT to ensure mosquitoes (or a sunburn) won’t spoil your paddle on the lake. Built from a kind-to-skin fabric with a velvety-soft feel, the roll-up sleeves on this shirt are key for those days when Pemby is eight degrees hotter than Whistler (aka: almost always). www.jackwolfskin.com

Not many jackets can prove their usefulness throughout all four seasons. But the Vislight GORE-TEX PRO is light and breathable enough to be comfortable during summer high alpine and/or bad-weather adventures as well as serve as your go-to cold weather shell overtop an insulative layer.

For years, typical odor control technologies used silver and other biocides to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. However, this is not a sustainable solution. Enter ActiveFresh Technology, a new environmentally-conscious technology that inhibits environmental odors and bacterial odors by actively preventing the buildup of bad smells during high-exertion sports. It’s a bio-based, non-antimicrobial technology that was invented to allow you to spend more time in closer proximity with others.

“The impact of clothing on the environment is becoming more noticeable every day. We believe that using natural solutions like ZQ-Certified Merino wool is paramount. Merino wool is renewable. It’s made up of proteins and amino acids. It naturally breaks down in water and soil. It is perfect for making responsible natural performance apparel. And it’s important that it’s also sourced in the most responsible way possible.” www.smartwool.ca
