Outdoor Vitals, the Utah-based performance outdoor apparel and gear brand, announced its new product releases for SS22; they include:

  • Tern Ultralight Merino Wool Shirts are available in short sleeve and long sleeve hooded options; the shirts have a 115-gram weight and use NuYarn technology to create a lightweight, odor-resistant, and breathable fabric. Both shirts have ample stretch, UPF rating of 36+, flat-felled seams, and raglan sleeves.  
  • Tushar Rain Jacket is a 7-ounce full-featured waterproof layer constructed using body-mapped membrane technology that increases breathability without sacrificing protection. The jacket uses Toray Torain 3D 2.5-layer waterproof breathable lamination technology with a 20D micro-ripstop nylon face fabric with mapped membrane application. The Tushar comes with Torain-specific seam tape, designed for long-term durability and can handle harsh wash cycles. The jacket also uses a material with a higher waterproof rating in the areas that receive the most pressure and more breathable fabric in areas where the waterproof rating is not as important. Pit zips help with breathability and temperature regulation. The interior fabric features a 3D printed texture, which helps hold the membrane off the skin. The jacket will be released in August.
  • Altitude Sun Hoodie weighs 4 ounces and is made from a breathable synthetic fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin as temperatures rise. The Hoodie will be available in July. 

“We’ve wanted to add an ultralight merino top for some time but couldn’t find the right fabric to fulfill our vision,” said Tayson Whittaker, founder of Outdoor Vitals. “NuYarn fabric in the Tern shirts is an innovative material that offers the perfect ultra-lightweight and durability. The technology has allowed us to create an amazing wool piece that stands out in the marketplace.” 

Outdoor Vitals is also releasing the Fortius Trekking Pole Ultralight Tent with ample functional space and is designed not to force the user’s head into one end. The 15D sil/PU micro-ripstop nylon has a waterproof rating of 1,500mm HH, and the bathtub floor keeps ground runoff from entering the tent during a downpour. The one-person version of the Fortius weighs 1.6 pounds, and the two-person tent weighs 2.25 pounds. The tents will be available in August.
