Like the first few logs on the fire, your first layers are the foundation of your warmth. They’re not all built the same, but thankfully AKHG® technology and fabrics come with the promise of high performance and resilience. Our Meltwater® layers aren’t just soft (make that unbelievably soft), they also powerfully wick to evaporate moisture to beat the sweat-then-shiver cycle. So when you’re pushing onward while hiking or snowshoeing, rest assured Meltwater can keep up. Plus, this shirt is made for all-season adventure – it’s a great base or mid layer for high-intensity winter fun and it’s top-notch on its own during shoulder season.
