Technical Specifications
Next-generation insulation technology
The Guide Aerogel Hybrid Hood 2.0 is an advanced mid layer built around Aerogel — an ultralight material known for the highest insulation-to-weight ratio of any solid. Strategic Aerogel panels provide surprising warmth while remaining cool and breathable during intense movement, and uniquely retain their insulating capability even when compressed by a pack or rope. These panels are combined with a merino-blend double-knit fleece that offers softness, stretch, and efficient moisture management, transporting sweat away from the body during high-output effort. A new ultralight ripstop shell fabric adds wind resistance, water repellency, and breathability, creating a versatile layer for ski touring, alpinism, climbing, and fast-moving summer missions. With an athletic fit, a fully functional hood, and clean patterning that supports unrestricted movement, it represents a refined balance of lightweight insulation, comfort, and technical capability.
