The Gaea and Argus Jackets provide athletes who engage in high output mountain and trail running during cold and dry winter conditions with the measured warmth at minimal weight required for them to excel in every adventure they set themselves upon. The Argus and Gaea Jacket’s composite construction comes together to ensure an ergonomic, highly breathable, lightly insulated running jacket designed to regulate your microclimate so you can run all year, comfortably and confidently. Drawing on our expertise in technical garment and fabric innovation, we chose resilient, ultralight, breathable materials to construct the jacket. OctaTM Loft Synthetic Insulation — a proven light, efficient and highly air permeable material — provides warmth without sacrificing air flow. An optimum balance of airflow and wind resistance helps to ensure proper thermoregulation. To this end, LuminTM — an ultralight, breathable, tear and water-resistant nylon material—was chosen for the jacket’s front face. A polyester/elastane back panel brings covers the back and includes integrated, bounce-free stash pockets sized to fit flasks, gels or small digital devices.

GAEA JACKET With carefully selected materials and high performance, highly breathable insulation, the Gaea Jacket is specifically created for aerobic activities in cold temperatures and light weather. Lightweight, hydrophobic Polartec® Alpha® synthetic insulation is placed at the front and shoulders to offset direct exposure to wind and cold, providing warmth with minimal bulk. Lumin™ 100% nylon face fabric sheds wind and light precipitation, and the breathable, moisture wicking Torrent™ back panel facilitates ventilation and freedom of movement. Two easily accessible rear stash pockets hold gloves, hat or energy foods. An adjustable drawcord at the hem seals out cold, retractable thumbholes hold sleeves in place, and reflective blades on the back and sleeves improve visibility in low light conditions. AEROBIC INSULATION Polartec® Alpha® is a unique synthetic insulation combining lightweight warmth with exceptional breathability. The insulation’s knit construction is more stable and durable than traditional synthetics. This stability allows it to be used on air permeable open weave fabrics, allowing air to flow through the garment to help increase evaporation and moisture transport. PARED TO THE ESSENTIAL The Gaea blends minimalist design with technical intelligence in a piece that combines breathability, insulation, weather protection and ergonomic freedom. Features are pared to the essential, each selected to enhance performance during runs, cross country skis, snowshoe races and other cold weather, high output activities. Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL Weight: 335 g / 11.8 oz Fit: Trim fit, Hip Length ARGUS JACKET - MEN Designed for high output activities in cold temperatures and moderate weather, the Argus Jacket is insulated with breathable, hydrophobic Polartec® Alpha® synthetic insulation. Placed at the front and shoulders to offset direct exposure to wind and cold, this lightweight insulation provides warmth with minimal bulk. Lumin™ 100% nylon face fabric sheds wind and light precipitation, while the highly breathable, moisture wicking Torrent™ back panel facilitates ventilation and freedom of movement. Two easily accessible rear stash pockets hold gloves, hat or energy foods. An adjustable drawcord at the hem seals out cold, retractable thumbholes hold sleeves in place, and reflective blades on the back and sleeves improve visibility in low light conditions.

AEROBIC INSULATION

Serious mountain training means confronting a variety of conditions, including cold, wind, rain and snow. Prior to Polartec® Alpha®, the lack of breathable insulation meant choosing between overheating or foregoing necessary protection. Polartec® Alpha®, a unique synthetic insulation combining exceptional breathability and lightweight warmth, has specific properties that allowed Arc’teryx to create outerwear uniquely suited for high output in cold weather. The insulation’s knit construction is more stable and durable than traditional synthetics. This stability permits the use of air permeable open weave face fabrics that encourage air flow through the garment to help increase evaporation and moisture transport. The result is essential warmth without overheating.

FIT AND FUNCTION

The knowledge Arc’teryx has acquired from creating for harsh alpine environments goes into the design and construction of products that help athletes focus on maximum personal performance. The Argus combines minimalist design with technical intelligence in a piece that combines breathability, insulation, weather protection and ergonomic freedom.
