T.RICE GORE INFINIUM JK
In order to navigate in weather changing conditions, Travis wanted a JK with the perfect combination of warmth, mobility, and weight, designed to perform on the coldest days. We took Primaloft Active, the most breathable, lightweight insulation in the market, and coupled it with Gore-Tex Infinium to create a JK that is super light, extra warm, and made to move with you.

HIGH ALTITUDE
This is the third year we are bringing the high-altitude collection, and we are stoked to see how much it’s growing every year and how everyone is hyped on it. Styles in this capsule are quite directional, super youthfull and definitely on trend. Fits are baggier, prints and arts are inspired by the early 90’s, but with a modern day twist. Our riders Miles Fallon and Austen Seetin will promotes the products. With the massive trend of unisex styles and inclusivity, we want to invite women in this collection and most of the products will be unisex. The Steeze Jk is a great style for the young women in the search of more boyish baggier fit. Finally, the favorite piece from Thibaut, In the Hood jk, simple and stylish with the High Altitude chest branding hit.
