The Higher State Trail Smock combines waterproofing and wind-proofing capabilities in equal abundance. Constructed with a technical fit in mind, superb breathability follows suit. Feel the flow, this is Higher State.
Technical fit, breathable construction
Higher-Flow technology is engineered using a lightweight technical construction, providing the garment with exceptional breathability and moisture management properties, keeping you cool, dry and focused on the run ahead. The anatomical cut of the garment and the lightweight eco-friendly materials used in its construction, provide you with optimal movement and comfort in motion, whilst ensuring you don't feel weighed down.
Primary features involved with the design include a half-zip construction; allowing the wearer to manipulate the level of ventilation necessitated as per their requirements. Discretely located, a back zip pocket transforms the jacket into a packable garment (with an adjustable waist strap for carriage). Completing the utilisation of zips, a chest pocket enables secure storage of small essentials whilst on the go.
The sleeve length grants the wearer added protection from the elements providing a greater level of comfort, most notably in colder temperatures. Add to that velcro fastenings and the jacket soon becomes much more appealing in fit. A fully adjustable 'mountain hood' is compatible with helmets, whilst simultaneously yielding further protection against the elements.
Flat lock stitching on the interior body and sleeve of the garment ensures a comfortable fit and safeguards against the risk of skin irritation, providing extended comfort and confidence. The reflective elements on the back and sleeve of the jacket ensure high visibility in low level lighting, for increased safety. With the added inclusion of a high UV protection value, the garment actively works to protect you from perpetual exposure in strong sunlight.
The dynamic colour design catches the eye giving a clean modern look for any number of clothing combinations and styles. Run Hard. Run Long. Run in a Higher State.
Weather Proofing
The Smock has undergone extensive research in providing a preventative measure against inclement weather conditions. Measured to 10,000 mm hydrostatic head, this measurement denotes the amount of pressure from water the jacket is able to withstand. From the custom measurement, the wearer, once enveloped within the jacket is able to resist a substantial amount of water penetration. The physical properties of the garment yield superb waterproofing abilities, providing a barrier between the wearer and water penetration.
A secondary preventative measure implemented by Higher State, yet no less important, is wind-proofing technology. This resilient material technology ensures outside elements remain outside, so core temperatures can retain maximum warmth. Possessing the ability to block wind without limiting breathability, the jacket's intelligent system provides comfort during the harshest of conditions.
