Start with the Base Layer
The Artilect Goldhill 125 (mens) and Boulder 125 (womens) are the lightest merino baselayers we've ever tested. The vented, "eyelet" panels help you dump heat and stay comfortable.
Softshell Jacket and Pants
We favor the Women's Alpine Start Jacket with the Women's Dawn Patrol Pants. Fantastic breathability and a perfect fit for skiing. For men, the Rab Borealis is breathable and durable and pairs great with the Men's Dawn Patrol Pant.

Emergency Layers
At less than 200 grams each and packing down to the size of a water bottle, having a Deploy puffy and Guardian Air shell in your pack is a huge confidence boost on a wet storm day.

Alpenglow's Signature Hardboot, the Backland Pro is the best combination of lateral stiffness for climbing and a progressive flex on the descent. We add the Phantom Link Lever to get a tunable flex and softboot like feel with all the benefits of hardboots.
