Matched to constant training—for trips, tours or ultras—our breathable active insulator is light, fast and technical. Polartec® Alpha® Active 60g insulation cuts a cold-morning chill yet breathes deeply and keeps the interior dry during high-output activity. The stretch gusseted underarm enables free-ranging mobility, while sleek construction detailing gives it a superfast feel on the trail or on the skintrack. A quick-draw hood cinches down fast when storms descend and a ripstop shell sheds light weather with a lasting DWR Finish. Key pockets stow critical items.

Make Your Own Mountain Music
Every Stio Mountain Studio dedicates a spot in the corner to a certain guitar—not just any old six-string, but one created by the talented artisans at Taylor Guitars. It’s a tribute both to our founder Sulli’s passion for plucking the strings, and to all the times when music has forged connections across campgrounds and tailgates with friends and strangers alike. Read on to meet each artist and delve into the elements of the local landscapes that inspired their art.Pinecone, Acorn—Or Urban Legend?
Stio's logo has often been a topic for debate, so we took to the streets and slopes with our friends at the Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation to set the record straight. Our logo? It's a Whitebark Pinecone. Check out the deeper story of this humble seed that’s the key to holding together an entire ecosystem.Of Food, Fishing And Freedom
Chef, fly angler and Stio Ambassador Ranga Perera takes us to a few of his favorite moments while filming Flavor On The Fly, from frying up fresh perch on the shores of Lake Champlain, to being guided for the first time by a fellow Person Of Color while fishing in Central Park. It’s a reflection on the ways fishing and food nourish our roots and bring us all together at the same table.
