ALPS OutdoorZ adds two new pieces to the category-leading Evolution Merino Wool series. New to the innovative line of industry-leading merino, ALPS is introducing the highly versatile 150 Hoodie, a piece that will outperform any adventure, hike, or hunt, with extreme style and functionality, while providing the ultimate in breathability and freedom of movement. For those seeking elite functionality in cold-weather insulation for their lower half, the addition of the 250 Bottoms delivers the warmth, comfort, and athletic utility for winter adventurers who require the best cold-weather protection. These new pieces continue the expansion of a line that is quickly gaining the attention of outdoor enthusiasts.
For those new to the ALPS Evolution merino series, this ALPS venture combines two reputable brands, blending experience and technology to solve an age-old problem. Working with Woolmark-certified products, ALPS found that 17.5-micron merino helps address the notorious itchiness of wool, using ultra-fine fibers that deliver technical comfort in a soft feel. The Evolution series feels great against the skin while offering superior performance in athletic fit and breathability. The Evolution series' 100% natural merino wool offers the highest level of moisture management, thermoregulation, and odor elimination. Evolution Merino is exceptionally soft and comfortable next to skin, while remaining resistant to pilling and over-stretching. Merino isn't just for extreme adventures.
Evolution Merino 150 Hoodie
Crafted from an ethically sourced Woolmark-certified merino blend, the 150 Hoodie is designed to be one of the most versatile pieces in the lineup. With the inherent ability to naturally combat odor and stains, this garment is positioned to keep you smelling and looking fresh for a Saturday of shopping while still standing up to the rigors of a day in the woods or a weekend of camping in the mountains. Available in the two colors of Gray and Sand, the 150 Hoodie can blend with your favorite camo pallet or stylishly mix with your preferred trail-running fit while naturally wicking sweat and providing ultimate breathability. The athletic fit of the 150 Hoodie is complemented by a sleek hood design, chest pocket, and thumb-cuff sleeves, delivering premium functionality for those on the move. The 150 Hoodie helps keep trailblazers cool and dry in the heat, yet warm and comfortable in the cold, allowing you to stay confident and focused on adventure.
