We’ve found our new favourite hoody to wear pretty much every day of the fall, winter and spring. It’s Mountain Hardwear’s Kor Stasis (available for women and men).

Whether you’re trail-running in October or breaking out the nordic boards in January, this lightweight hoody insulates against the cold while letting vapour pass through so you never overheat.

Two main elements bestow these properties. First, a weather-resistant, lightweight and breathable stretch ripstop Pertex® Quantum Air 20D outer is an ideal fabric for cold-weather active pursuits, and won’t let you down if snow turns to light rain.

And PrimaLoft Gold Active insulation (60% recycled) lends the stretch and adaptability you need. Its proprietary finish and manufacturing process locks fibers in place, allowing for use with breathable and stretch materials.

Engineered for high-aerobic running, hiking or touring, this soft, packable and water-resistant insulation regulates comfort levels during intense activity.

In colder, windier weather or if you’re on a multi-day mission in changing elevation, the Kor Stasis will work well in tandem with a hardshell.

This could be the most versatile layer in your closet and we plan to use it for nordic skiing, ski-touring, snowshoeing, hiking, biking and even cool-weather climbing. The four-way stretch fabric allows these multiple active uses. (Even the cuffs are stretchy.) And the hoody dumps heat like nobody’s business thanks to the breathable materials (and the underarm strategically mapped with air-permeable fabric and reduced insulation). Plus: the highly packable design allows you to stuff the hoody into its hand pocket with internal carabiner clip loop, so you can easily stow it as a backup layer.

This Just In: Mountain Hardwear’s 30th

Starting in October, Mountain Hardwear is celebrating its 30-year anniversary by throwing it back to 1993 when the brand’s distinct, functional style was born—introducing the Reissue capsule.

This is a limited-edition collection featuring three original pieces: the Exposure Gore-tex Parka, Subzero Down Jacket, and Windstopper Tech Jacket, each reimagined with today’s tech and recycled materials. The Reissue capsule embodies the ethos upon which Mountain Hardwear was founded, and is defined by the designs of Ingrid Harshbarger, which utilize her unmistakable color palette and now-heritage fit that harkens back to the best of the 90’s.
