What’s your base layer strategy for 2024/25?
It all started 30 years ago in the small mountain town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado with a mission to keep feet warm and keep you out longer. Today, we equip explorers across the globe, so they can go farther and feel better in our socks and apparel. And 30 years later, we’re showing no signs of slowing down. We’re continuing to perfect our layering system to complete our Merino wool kit offering. Most importantly, we’re continuing to ensure anyone who wants to get outside can get outside with expanded fit options and diverse design. We’re launching the Thermal Merino Baselayer in Plus Size for Women this FW24/25.
