Skiers and climbers know that sometimes, enjoying truly great days in the mountains means getting an early start. And if you’re heading out before the sun comes up, it’s going to be chilly. Of course, when you’re moving fast, that’s not a problem – but when you slow down or when the wind bites, you might need a little extra protection. Artilect’s Darkstart jacket was designed for precisely these conditions. Wind-resistant yet highly breathable, it’s a lightly insulated softshell hoodie that incorporates stretch fabrics and zoned wool insulation to deliver a unique combination of warmth, flexibility and moisture management. The result? Sustained comfort across a wide range of temperatures and activities, even on those dark and cold pre-dawn alpine starts

Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Artilect is a brand moulded by its environment. Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, their gear is built to keep you warmer, drier and more comfortable than anything else out there, even in the fiercest wind, cold and rain.
To do this, they’ve drawn on cutting-edge technologies from the leading suppliers of performance fabrics, insulation and components, creating truly technical, all-weather apparel. This includes world firsts like particle gold bonded down fill, YKK Touchlink zips and ultra-durable water repellent finishes. This unrelenting focus on innovation is combined with decades of experience in the outdoor and snowsports world. Essentially, they’ve taken the best of the old and blended it with the best of the new.
Sustainability is also at the heart of the brand. They use recycled fabrics alongside technical membranes and finishes that are free form harmful chemistry. But more than that, the range is built with superior long-term durability and repairability and mind. In essence? They create products that last, from quality materials that minimise environmental impacts. As a result, Artilect systems maximise moisture management, thermoregulation, freedom of movement, comfort and swagger – from the peaks to the streets.
