Sustainability and Product Care
Morphosis means change, evolution, and adaptation. The Morphosis jacket is designed to be comfortable whatever your activity, temperature, or effort level.
- Highly breathable, wind resistant and water shedding outer fabric
- Zones of grid fleece around the core and arms for insulation
- Fleece-free panels under the arms/sides to dump heat and moisture
When a windshell is too sweaty and a fleece won’t cut out the wind on its own, that’s where the Morphosis comes into its own. The outer fabric is more breathable than a completely windproof shell, allowing 6 CFM of airflow - just about noticeable in the strongest of winds while sacrificing little protection.
Zones of gridded fleece around the core leaves your under-arms and the side panels uninsulated, letting you dump heat when working hard, without losing wind protection. A full-length zip offers extra venting capability, should you need it.
The Morphosis can be worn over a base layer in warmer temperatures and high output activities like trail running, or layered over a fleece for colder conditions and slower work rates.
With it's super light softshell-like construction, the Morphosis provides all the freedom of movement you need for climbing, hill-walking and riding.

How It Is Made
PFC-Free DWR
The Morphosis uses a completely PFC-free DWR treatment on its outer fabric. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment. We don't like the sound of that which is why we're one of the first outdoor brands to eliminate them from our entire range.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
