Nordic and Cross-Country Development

Nordic apparel for race, training,club or backcountry use.

Nordic systems manage high output differently from lift-served alpine clothing. Structure race suits, training jackets and pants, wind-front tights and club systems around air exchange and selective protection.

04What the brief must resolve

Program decisions

Decision 01

Separate race, training and backcountry missions

Each mission changes fit, warmth, protection, storage and visibility. Define activity intensity and exposure before selecting materials.

Decision 02

Build a repeatable club program

Add identity placement, size sets, athlete approval, roster changes, replacement pieces and reorder records to the technical process.

05Before you enquire

Questions to resolvebefore sampling.

Why not use the alpine range for Nordic?

Higher sustained output, different movement and different protection zones change both the layer system and garment architecture.
