Description

The engineering behind Guardian Apex is staggering. Guardian Apex exists at the intersection of decades of outerwear experience and cutting-edge materials innovation, where feel and resilience meet a PFAS-free, fully waterproof (28,000mm+ water rating), future backed by the gold standard of GORE-TEX protection with ePE membrane.

Guardian Apex is a new way to experience backcountry movement no matter your goal. Set-and-forget the CrossPull Hood that works like a dream to gather excess volume, with helmet or without, or roll it down and use the Stowaway Snap to turn it into a high-coverage collar. Supple and seamless no-snag cuff tabs that disappear from the front. An inner chest pocket that doubles as the StashSystem so you’re never caught out. The 360 articulated fit that ushers in a new era of exploration, with unmatched forward reach and full range articulation.
