The 365-Day Mountain Solution
Most outdoor enthusiasts face a frustrating cycle: buying specialized gear for each season, struggling with bulk layers in transitional months, and compromising on mobility when technical features overpower comfort. Traditional solutions either trap moisture during intense activity or fail to protect against sudden alpine weather changes.
The Stio Women’s Pinedale Pant shatters these compromises with its Everlight Softshell technology – a bluesign® approved fabric blend that delivers four-season performance without the wardrobe gymnastics.
