The future of alpine layering is smart, light, and ready. The North Face women’s Bolt Hoodie, built with Polartec® Power Grid™, redefines what a midlayer can do. With geometric construction that boosts warmth and breathability, this hoodie adapts to the realities of serious vertical movement, stayinglight, compressible, and efficient across conditions. It’s built for intensity, and the women who meet it head-on.

Built for the high alpine and engineered for zero compromise. Haglöfs and Polartec have partnered on the L.I.M ZT 2.0 Collection, a synchronized layering system where purposeful design meets technical fabric innovation.

The Summer 2025 OMA Media Show was an inspiring two days of back-to- back meetups with some of the most influential voices in the outdoor and active lifestyle space. With our full layering system on display, from breathable base layers to weather-ready outerwear, we gave media a hands-on look at the technologies driving performance. We also offered a behind-the-scenes preview of what’s next for Polartec innovation… but more on that sooner 👀  Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by. With over 100 editors, writers, and journalists in the room, and humanized schedule, this event was all about quality over quantity. And it delivered. Cheers to OMA for creating a space that sparks smart storytelling, strong partnerships, and a shared excitement for what’s next in outdoor. See you in February. 📸 : @evandudley #OMAMediaShow
