Hyperlite mountain gear expands into technical apparel

Hyperlite Mountain Gear, a manufacturer of 100% USA-made ultralight outdoor equipment, is launching its first-ever outerwear product with The Shell, an ultralight technical jacket weighing between 5.16 and 6.20 ounces, depending on the size.

All Hyperlite Mountain Gear products utilise Dyneema fabrics; materials incorporated with the strongest man-made fibres that are 15 times stronger than steel in weight per weight ratio. Working closely with Dyneema, St. Pierre helped test and refine a highly durable, waterproof breathable fabric for The Shell ultralight technical jacket. Known as Dyneema Composite Fabrics with waterproof breathable properties, also known as DCF-WPB, the fabric is said to achieve the optimal balance of weight and durability consistent with all Hyperlite Mountain Gear products, while the eVent membrane provides the waterproof, windproof and high-breathability characteristics achieved through eVent’s patented air permeable waterproof technology.
