NEW FABRIC SYSTEMS
Partnering with the most innovative fabric developers in the world, the W24 Collection includes 10 new fabric systems, all engineered to thrive in the most demanding conditions.
AURA GRID™
This lightweight, breathable fabric features a micro-brushed grid structure that traps warm air close to the skin, creating insulation without bulk. Its grid channels enhance airflow and wick moisture efficiently, ensuring warmth, breathability, and quick drying during active use.
CALDOGRID™
This lightweight, breathable fabric features a micro-brushed grid structure that traps warm air close to the skin, creating insulation without bulk. Its grid channels enhance airflow and wick moisture efficiently, ensuring warmth, breathability, and quick drying during active use.
MACROSOFT GRID™
This double-brushed check fleece offers lightweight warmth, breathability, and durability with a unique heat-trapping grid design and UPF 30+ UV protection. Its soft, anti-pilling finish and moisture-wicking channels keep you dry and comfortable outdoors.
WINDPROOF AURAGRID™
This high-performance fabric combines warmth, wind resistance, and water protection, ideal for diverse outdoor conditions. Its brushed grid backing traps heat in insulating pockets while wicking moisture to keep you dry. A wind-resistant CFM rating blocks cold winds, and a water-resistant finish repels light rain, providing a balanced blend of warmth, protection, and breathability.
STRATUM SEAMLESS™
This seamless fabric blend offers exceptional moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance, ideal for running. Lightweight and breathable, it incorporates carbon fibers to regulate body temperature and reduce odor by minimizing bacterial growth. The fiber blend also enhances durability, stretch, and shape retention over time, ensuring lasting comfort and performance.
FLO-RUN™
Milled in Italy, this lightweight yet velvety warp knit is more fluid than System-R but maintains the same matte finish. Its bi-stretch properties and anti-pilling finish support easy movement. The advanced nylon-based fibers are exceptionally durable yet soft, with natural moisture-wicking qualities to keep the wearer dry and chafe-free.
SHERPA FLEECE™
This Sherpa-inspired fabric offers cozy warmth without bulk, mimicking the plush feel of natural wool in a lightweight, durable synthetic blend. A bonded mesh backing enhances structure and shape retention, preventing sagging while staying soft and breathable. With a smooth, skin-friendly interior, it layers comfortably, providing a balanced blend of warmth, comfort, and practicality.
JACQUARD SHERPA FLEECE™
Milled in Italy, this Sherpa-inspired fabric offers lightweight warmth and durability with a soft, wool-like feel. Featuring a custom jacquard pattern and bonded mesh backing for shape retention, it layers comfortably, providing warmth and breathability for versatile, everyday wear.
HERRINGBONE WOOL™
Milled in Italy, this premium wool-blend herringbone fabric offers warmth, durability, and a refined texture. Bonded with a jersey backing for comfort and ease of layering, it’s treated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR) to resist rain, snow, and stains, ensuring versatile, weather-ready wear.
