Beyond that, the quality of outerwear is often measured by its ability to layer with other articles of clothing, equipping the wearer with a greater level of adaptability to their environment. Now available in a women's model, the Vertx Fury Hardshell sheds water, while balancing both heat and moisture, creating a micro-climate around the wearer. Coming in hot, the Vertx Firebase hoodie is what we might call a tech-hoodie, featuring a series of small but important improvements on the classic garment. From the athletic fit to the cutout for a watch, we can see the evolution of clothing taking place in real-time.
