Dry.Q is a proprietary waterproof fabric technology developed by Mountain Hardwear. It provides breathable protection against moisture, keeping water out while allowing sweat and heat to escape. This is essential for outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding, as it helps you stay dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience.

Body-mapped insulation is a design approach where insulation is strategically placed in areas of the garment that need warmth the most, such as around the thighs. This targeted insulation helps maintain body heat in critical areas while allowing for better breathability and comfort in others, ensuring you stay warm without overheating during your outdoor adventures.

Critically sealed seams refer to a construction technique where the seams of the garment are sealed with special tape or adhesive. This prevents water from leaking through the stitching, maintaining the waterproof integrity of the garment. This feature is crucial for keeping you dry in wet conditions, making it a key consideration for anyone engaging in outdoor activities.

CORDURA is a brand name for a type of durable fabric known for its resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. It is often used in outdoor gear and apparel, particularly in high-wear areas like the cuffs of ski pants. The inclusion of CORDURA kick patches in bibs enhances their durability and longevity, making them a smart investment for outdoor enthusiasts.

RECCO technology is a rescue system that helps locate individuals buried in avalanches. It involves a reflector embedded in the clothing, which can be detected by a searcher using a special RECCO detector. This technology adds an extra layer of safety for skiers and snowboarders venturing into backcountry or avalanche-prone areas, giving you peace of mind while enjoying your outdoor activities.

Absolutely! While these technologies are designed with skiing and snowboarding in mind, they are also suitable for a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, and camping. The waterproofing, insulation, and durability features make them versatile choices for anyone looking to stay comfortable and protected in various weather conditions.
