How to Measure 

  • Chest/Bust: Measure around the widest part of your chest/bust

  • Hips: Stand straight and measure around the largest part of your hips.
  • Inseam: Measure inside seam from crotch to bottom hem. 

What does fit mean?

Each style has a 'fit' noted in the product information. Whether it's Slim, Standard or Relaxed, here's how that effects the fit. 

Slim
Standard
Relaxed

A classic performance fit, following the contours of your body. Great for layering.  

Follows the line of your body, but gives you room to move. 

A loose fit for every day comfort, while not being baggy. 

Size Guide
Size: S
Warm no matter what. Lightweight warmth with an ergonomic cut and merino fleece panels creates freedom of movement for freeriding and ski touring. The Arete can be stashed away in your pack and will provide instant warmth once layered.
100% merino wool insulation regulates your temperature to keep you warm when it matters, even when wet.
Arete uses a light, soft touch Pertex® Eco Quantum, a 100% recycled shell. A PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR C0) finish sheds light rain and snow to provide additional weather protection.

What’s so epic about Merino Wool?

Merino Wool is the OG performance fibre, crushing it since way before oil-derived synthetics arrived. Cool when it’s hot, warm when it’s not, just as epic when wet and never stinks. We’ve tapped into the natural perks of this legend, while adding a new-school spin to meet the needs of mountain bikers, skiers, snowboarders and mission-seekers. 

To ensure the highest standards of animal welfare, environmental care, and social sustainability, we use ZQRX-certified Merino Wool.
