Stio’s Divide Tech T-shirt uses a combination of fabric technologies to keep you dry, free of stench, and cool in the mountains. Utilizing Drirelease, a blend of polyester and cotton (85 percent polyester/15 percent cotton) with Freshguard, the Divide Tech keeps odors at bay, while also wicking away sweat. The shirt also provides a bit of sun protection (15 UPF), because when you’re running around the high peaks any extra sun protection helps. 

Wyoming-based Stio is close to its roots. As an outdoors brand, it designs technical apparel meant for its hometown of Jackson Hole. As a clothing company, its bold palettes and easygoing designs reflect the relaxed “mountain life” one would find there.

What Patagonia is to The North Face, Stio is to techwear as a whole. Rugged, outdoorsy, and built to take a beating, the brand’s eye-catching apparel is every bit as hardcore as the matte black GORE shells most think of when they think “tech.”

The perfect example: Stio’s Alpha Alpine Pullover Filled with Polartec’s Alpha insulation, what looks like a college kid’s snap fleece is actually a breathable mid-layer stuffed with material designed for US Special Forces. Take it to the office. Take it the Green Zone. Take it on public transportation without someone shooting you the side-eye.

If “chill techwear” becomes a thing, Stio gets all the credit.

Think suits are for squares? Well, Stio's Rammel Blazer refuses to be boxed in, utilizing Velos stretch fabric to create what may be the industry's first technical blazer. Suitable for late evening appetizers or your cousin's wedding, the Rammel Blazer integrates outdoor technology like Ripstop and a DWR-coating for durability and water resistance, making it good to go, right out of the trunk of the Subaru. Remember, formal events can be a jungle, so it's best to prepare for everything.

You don’t always want to wear long sleeves. Made from Conflux, a super-lightweight blend of nylon and polyester with a DWR finish, the Eddy is stretchy, dries fast, and has a UPF 50+ rating. It’s as performance-minded as your favorite tech tee but good-looking enough to wear about town. Check out those pearl snaps!

With warmer weather finally here, I’m spending all the time I can outside. But once the temps cool down at night, I just want a simple pullover to throw on and head out the door. Enter the Stio Turpin Fleece. It’s a no-frills layer designed with recycled materials that comes in five colors. It has an easy-to-pull zipper, but my favorite detail has to be the button on each sleeve cuff that makes rolling them up when I’m grilling or, say, hosing down my patio quick and easy. - John Lonsdale, Deputy Digital Editor
