Manifesto
The mountain sets the standard. We just refuse to fall short of it.
Every seam, every gram — tested against conditions that don’t care how hard you tried.

The range

8000m expedition shell
Three layers. -40°C. 120 km/h. Zero compromise on mobility.

High-loft insulation
850-fill down. No cold spots. Packs to the size of a fist.

Technical soft goods
The layer you climb in. Four-way stretch, built for the wall.
Built for worse than
you’ll ever meet.
How it’s made
It starts with a failure — someone who was cold at 7,000 metres.
A dozen versions of a single seam, until everything is right at once.
Guides take it to the worst conditions we can find. On purpose.
We listen to what broke, and we go back.

The technology
Stay dry. Stay warm. Keep moving. Everything else is decoration.

The numbers
Marketing doesn’t keep you alive. Numbers do.
01 / 03
Validated in cold chambers and on real bivouacs — never on a spreadsheet.
02 / 03
Dry on the outside, dry on the inside — for days, not hours.
03 / 03
We fix what we make, for the life of the product.
From the people who rely on it
On the K2 winter attempt, the SUMMIT shell was the one piece of kit I never thought about. It just worked. That's the highest compliment I can give gear.
Elise MoreauAlpinist · 3× 8000mI've frozen in gear from every big brand. The GLACIER belay jacket is the first one that kept me moving on a -38°C bivouac. It earns its weight.

We don’t make gear for the gym.
We make it for where it counts.
Guaranteed for life. Even up here.
