PRODUCT USP

The trick to stay comfortable even in rough conditions is to manage heat and humidity simultaneously. In short: you’ll want to trap the heat but vent out the moisture. What makes this a bit tricky is that the body radiates a lot of its heat through convection – a technical term meaning warm humidity, that becomes liquid as it cools down. Using an ingenious double mid-layer system, the L.I.M Z|T manages to take care of the heat, while breathing the moisture out. This enables you to stay in the comfort zone in a much wider range of outdoor temperatures and through different phases of intensity: neither too warm or too cold, and with a much smaller risk of getting damp.

PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES

To improve something that already seems perfect, one must think freely, and leave all preconceived notions behind. L.I.M Z|T is a vanguard collection of ultra-performance garments, based on the vast experience from the L.I.M Series. But it’s also the result of how Haglöfs went back to the drawing board and started over from scratch. They left the predominant three-layer theory behind and created the first truly synchronized layering system. Closest to the body: a highly open structured base layer, that breathes and keeps you dry. Double mid-layers, that let out humidity, while trapping heat. A durable, breathable and comfortable outer layer, made to withstand the roughest conditions.

INTENDED SPECIFIC END USE

Built for extreme environments (the far north, Greenland), ultra-distance and mountaineering.

SUSTAINABILITY INFORMATION

The GHG emissions for the manufacturing of these products (as well as all other products in the Haglöfs line) have been compensated for through high-quality carbon offsets as part of Haglöfs climate commitment to reduce emissions by 50% while taking responsibility for the rest along the way ("Our Climate Commitment").

A number of the main fabrics are made from recycled content as part of progress towards target of all main fabrics containing recycled or renewable content by 2025. A number of design choices are made in order to help improve repairability and recyclability of the products including:
* Decision made throughout all products to only use static cords to avoid the use of elastane
* All adjustments repairable and removable e.g. hem and hood adjustments
* Specifically in the mid layers used buttons instead of zippers
* Sashiko stitches used in place of additional reinforcement fabrics (shell jacket)

FUN FACTS OR BACKSTORY

The aesthetic inspiration for the entire collection comes from the light. During the time of day when the sun is most strong and powerful, it creates a straight beam of light. To incorporate this feeling of power and strength to the products and the wearer, Haglöfs created the Zenith beam – the red tread through the whole collection. Except from being an aesthetic element they also used the beam to create functions as breathable areas/panels, storage, pockets etc.
