Alpine Baselayers 4-season men's

Ascent Grid Zip-Neck — Men's

CRN-BSL-003 · In stock $129
Sizes SMLXL

Mid-winter dawn patrols in the Selkirks or exposed traverses on an ice climb demand a baselayer that adapts to the full spectrum of effort, from relentless uphill pushes to static belays. The Cairn Alpine Ascent Grid Zip-Neck is engineered for precisely these high-output, variable conditions. Built with 125gsm Polartec® Power Grid™ fabric, made from 91% recycled polyester, it actively wicks moisture and traps warmth in its unique grid structure, all while remaining incredibly breathable. The deep center-front zip provides rapid ventilation, while the high collar and integrated thumb loops seal in warmth when the temperature drops. Polygiene® odor control ensures freshness over multi-day pushes, and a zippered chest pocket keeps essentials secure. Its harness-compatible hem makes it a seamless choice for technical alpine pursuits.
