Go Broad Spectrum - Block More Rays Hero Video
Broad Spectrum UPF pieces block 98% of UV rays that cause burns, accelerated aging, and serious skin damage, offering the most anti-ouch and pro-wisdom protection that keeps you moving through those long, fun days. Unlike sunscreen, it’s the only kind of reliable sun protection that you apply once and doesn’t wear off. Go Broad Spectrum. Block more rays.

Three trail runners move along a sunlit ridgeline with dramatic mountain peaks in the background. All are wearing the Sunshield™ Hoody, ideal for lightweight protection during high-alpine adventures. Wisps of cloud or mist partially obscure the foreground, adding depth and a sense of elevation.
A woman lounges in the grass under bright sunlight, wearing a light green Sunshield™ Hoody with the phrase "GO BROAD SPECTRUM" cast in shadow across the front. She pairs it with a matching cap and shorts, along with oversized sunglasses. Beside her, a prismatic view of a field of yellow dandelions creates a dreamy, kaleidoscopic visual effect.

OUR SPIRITS ARE
SOLAR POWERED

We worked with our partners, Steep Learning Group, to harness the positive power of the sun for our Swiss on-location photoshoot by charging our equipment with solar panels.

What else did we power with the sun? Our spirits and creativity, of course. A fun week full of moving and working outdoors with good humans proved to develop one of our favorite projects to date.
