With the new Guardian collection, Canadian outdoor apparel brand 7mesh is stepping beyond familiar territory and designing for a wider range of activities – what they call “mountain-wide, multi-disciplinary outerwear.” With three new garments making use of PFAS-free GoreTex ePE fabrics, 7mesh is expanding beyond bike-specific clothing and into trail running, backcountry skiing, mountaineering, and wherever else you can imagine yourself needing lightweight, high-quality technical gear.
See below for details on the Guardian Air jacket, and Guardian Apex jacket and pant.
