ARTILECT's A/SYS is a dynamic apparel system comprised of refined materials, methods and fit to support the highest level of human performance. Every piece will exceed expectations worn alone, but the magic happens in the complete A/SYS configuration. Innovative technologies work in unison with decades of experience to maximize moisture management, thermo-regulation, freedom of movement, comfort and swagger from the peaks to the streets to give our wearers confidence in their gear and themselves.
A/SYS-1
Engineered Merino Baselayer
This is the critical next-to-skin foundation that starts thermoregulating your world. Powered by Nuyarn merino fabric, A/SYS–1 creates a direct interface between the skin and the system. Superior to any baselayer available in the market, engineered merino creates a next-to-skin microclimate with unparalleled performance for moving sweat vapours away from the skin while maintaining maximum thermal efficiency. It provides superior stretch, recovery and durability that far exceeds other options, along with the natural odour-resistance merino is famous for. Never underestimate the importance of your underwear, and don’t compromise, ever.
A/SYS-2
Engineered Technical Nextlayer
When you need more warmth without the extra weight. A/SYS–2 provides a critical link in our skin-to-environment approach. The midlayer extension of Nuyarn merino works with other complimentary fabrications to perform in an even greater range of conditions with no compromise on freedom or mobility. When there are other activities where external moisture or the need for increased packability are in order, then ARTILECT’s new styles featuring Primaloft’s revolutionary BIO fabrics will align perfectly with our other layers to fulfil every performance need.
A/SYS-3
Integrated Insulayer
The world can be an unforgiving place. A/SYS–3 utilizes the most progressive insulation solutions to keep the fire burning. With world-first technologies like Allied Down + Feather’s revolutionary EXPEDRY active-dry RDS down, Lavalan European Wool, and Toray stretch woven-baffle fabrics, and EMPEL DWR, used in the A/SYS-DNA combinations found in our next-level Fusion constructions, ARTILECT creates the highest warmth to- weight apparel in the world. Insulate well and be prepared for whatever comes next.
A/SYS-4
Highly Breathable Vaporlayer
Sometimes a fully-taped-membrane hardshell just isn’t the right tool for the job. In high-output activities, internal threats can be just as vicious as what nature throws at you. You’ve got to stay dry on the inside and out, breaking the wind before it breaks you. ARTILECT’s A/SYS–4 utilizes next-level technologies to deliver unmatched protection from outside elements while offering superior breathability and moisture management from the inside for high-output activities.
A/SYS-5
Protective Hardshell Missionlayer
All of ARTILECT’s revolutionary technology-driven performance innovations come together in A/SYS-5, creating the ultimate layer. Protecting the wearer from outside threats like wind, cold, and precipitation, while equally protecting from threats created by the body including managing moisture and supporting thermoregulation at the highest level. A/SYS–5 utilizes next-generation advances in waterproof/breathable stretch performance, powered by ARTILECT’s A/SYS-DNA High and Dry 30k membrane technology, EMPEL DWR, Trizar heat management, world-first YKK zipper advances, and a paradigm-shift in fit and comfort utilizing Primaloft BIO and Lavalan wool insulations in our exclusive Fusion thermoregulation array. The ultimate layer of protection, so you’re prepared and performing at your highest level, in the wildest places. Gear up and get after it.
A/SYS-A
Explorer Essentials - Accessories
The hands and head are the critical areas your body uses to initiate its natural thermoregulation process, providing an essential component of the complete A/SYS system. Powered by Nuyarn merino technology, A/SYS–A styles serve the same moisture management and thermoregulation properties as our A/SYS-1 baselayers, creating a next-to-skin microclimate with unparalleled performance to move sweat vapour away from the skin while maintaining maximum thermal efficiency. It also provides superior stretch, recovery and durability that far exceeds other merino options, along with the natural odour-resistance merino is famous for. Plus it fits like a glove, even on your head…
