MicroClimate Zoning

MicroClimate Zoning utilizes a combination of fabrics in a single garment to create gear that is more comfortable and functional in a wide variety of conditions. Because the body generates heat at different rates on different parts of the body, the Mountain Hardwear R&D department biomapped the human torso and developed an innovative approach to making garments. Instead of using one fabric or lining in the whole garment, MicroClimate Zoning places specific materials only where the user needs them – more warmth in cold-sensitive areas, less bulk or material where the body puts out more heat.
