pointless ups and downs
a ciele athletics x ostrya joint adventure
in hiking terms, PUD stands for Pointless Ups and downs, referring to those days where one’s elevation profile is a rollercoaster but the rewards, and the views often associated with such adventures, are few and far between.
finding common ground in playing outside through hiking and trail running, we have joined forces with ostrya to create a joint adventure capsule intentionally designed to support hikers and outdoor adventurers on mountainous pursuits.
with a mission to create technical garments that reflect a progressive aesthetic, ostrya has continuously aligned and resonated with ciele’s commitment to performance, protection and innovative design.
this limited edition capsule celebrates those days when the sun doesn't show up, and things don't go to plan, with ostrya's new alpinum fleece, our new all natural fibre performance NTRTShirt, and our versatile trucker with a soft curved brim, the TRKCap SC.
the NTRTShirt features our newly engineered sorino fabric made by mixing naturally hydrophobic wicking hemp fibers with an organic cotton resulting in a structured fabric with a soft hand-feel that delivers top tier performance.
the TRKCap SC is a trucker cap with a curved brim that's actually technical. we redesigned the silhouette with pinched crown, a more modern front panel backed by a COOLmatic™, 3D air mesh structure for easy packability and a racer mesh for a classic look with a soft feel and tons of breathability.
the alpinum half-zip fleece is ostrya's newest and most technical pullover fleece to date. designed as a lightweight and breathable midlayer for high intensity activities. it also doubles perfectly as a standalone piece when the temperature drops.
the PUD patch from the TRKCap can also be removed and added to the fleece for a different finish.
