The Marmot Trail Breeze 3/4 Tights lets you do what you enjoy the most - the trails. I have a soft spot for ¾ pants versus full length tights unless it’s really cold, I'm paddling or using them as my warm gear to put on during an adventure race. I have had my fair share of tights and like most gear we use in the outdoors it needs to be comfortable and functional.

Marmot has always been one of my favourite brands as they not only produce my quality clothing and equipment, but they let us women feel like women. Their women’s clothing range is flattering and made in fantastic colour combinations and contrast. One of my favourite garments is the Minimalist Jacket in the lovely fern colour. I have had the opportunity to give it a good thrashing (to say the least) in the bush.

This highly functional and elegantly designed jacket is part of Marmot’s growing category of lightweight waterproof, breathable shells for men and women. It also is the cornerstone of the company’s new MemBrain® Strata™ - a new 2.5 layer laminated technology.
A lightweight and comfortable jacket that survived the rigours of a night out in the Waitakere Ranges and a wilderness first aid course, and still came out the other side looking good.
The Superhero is a burly soft shell jacket designed to keep the weather out and the warmth in. Based around the classic soft shell design formula, it’s a form fitting ‘action’ garment perfect for out-and-back day missions and tool swinging on the frozen stuff.
