Gilltek® Technology
Orage
Paired with the synthetic insulation, Gilltek® consists of mesh vents designed to let excess heat out. Our goal was to design a layering with incredible breathability and moisture management. When still, the “Gills” lay flat and provide a comfortable insulating layer, and when moving the heat can dissipate through the mesh to prevent overheating while moving around the mountain.
Where did the idea for Gilltek® come from?
Our ambassador, Mason Mashon, needed a layering piece adapted to his lifestyle as a rider, photographer and outdoorsman. It needed to be comfortable and breathable for times when he’s riding, but also warm for times when he’s shooting photos, fishing or just standing still in frigid temps. In short, the piece needed to be versatile to maintain control of his body temperature. That foundation, along with inspiration taken from his indigenous Cree ancestry and passion for fishing, sparked the idea of a jacket that could breathe like fish gills.
