Known worldwide for their leadership in technical performance cycling apparel, 7mesh is proud to unveil the company’s boldest design innovation yet: The Guardian Collection — a line of ultralight, technically advanced, multi-activity outerwear built from the ground up to perform across a wide range of outdoor pursuits for the modern explorer.
Inspired by the rugged coastal mountains of British Columbia, the Guardian Collection is 7mesh’s first truly multi-activity performance outerwear. It combines advanced Gore-Tex ePE technology for trusted wet-weather protection with a PFAS-free, recycled backer — reducing environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
The 7mesh Guardian Collection sets a new benchmark in the category of ultralight technical shells, combining best-in-class weight—notably with the featherlight Guardian Air, at 200g—with the durability and sustainability of next-generation Gore-Tex ePE fabric. Designed for dynamic, high-output movement across multiple disciplines, the collection goes beyond traditional rain protection with a thoughtful feature set that includes advanced articulation, stretch, helmet-compatible hoods, and intuitive storage systems. While many ultralight shells compromise on performance or versatility, Guardian delivers both—raising the bar for what modern multisport outerwear can and should be.
“We started 7mesh with something to offer, and something to learn,” says Tyler Jordan, President and Co-Founder at 7mesh. “Traditional outerwear evolved from mountaineering, but we wanted to pick up the pace for today’s athletes and explorers – faster, lighter, and always in motion. The Guardian Collection empowers the modern adventurer with a ‘go anywhere, do anything’ mindset – light, durable, packable, and versatile. If you can dream it, we want Guardian to be there with you.”
The Guardian Collection is available now at 7mesh.com and select specialty retailers.
