Mountain Hardwear, a leader in technical performance apparel and equipment, today announced the launch of its Fall 2025 collection. The new line, available for purchase now at mountainhardwear.com, features innovative designs across several categories – including backcountry, freeride, cold weather trail, and climb – with a focus on blending technical functionality with distinct, modern aesthetics.
Mountain Mind Meld – Freeride
New styles from Mountain Hardwear kick off the season with a fresh take on freeride apparel, seamlessly melding style and technicality for humans who make it their business to get into antics on the mountain and off. The creativity of sliding on snow merges with the creativity of pairing new and known insulated silhouettes that layer effortlessly with snow shells, fleeces, and insulated pants.
Key styles include the Up First™ Tech Fleece, Aprés Pro™ Insulated Jacket, the women’s-specific Seek Out™ Snap Neck™ Pullover and Seek Out™ Snap Neck Vest, the versatile Summit Grid™ Big Grid Hoody, and the durable Stryder™ Lined Pants.
These dual-purpose pieces merge technical, on-snow performance with modern style, allowing for a seamless transition on the mountain and off. This reflects a growing demand for gear that delivers both functional protection and style.
Adapt to Remain Wild – Technical Outerwear
This year Mountain Hardwear is introducing their most technical backcountry kit ever – featuring Next-Gen GORE-TEX Pro materials – thoughtfully engineered with 30+ years of alpine design knowledge and athlete expertise. Mythogen, officially launching on October 13, 2025, was made for adaptation in the wildest mountains and the harshest of weather. Built breathable, waterproof, and durable for the ascent and the descent, from boot packs in wild couloirs to pillow lines in the backcountry, Mountain Hardwear’s new GORE-TEX Pro Kit will help you adapt in order to remain the wild human you were meant to be.
Layers for High Output in Low Temps
For those who live for high-output activities in cold conditions, the Cold Weather Trail collection offers a range of versatile products for versatile people. These garments prioritize warmth, breathability, and packability, to let athletes stay out longer when daylight is short. The collection includes the all-new Crater Lake™ Heavyweight Half Zip Hoody, which meets Broad Spectrum sun protection standards; the Kor Alloy™ Jacket that provides breathable warmth; the waterproof Stretch Ozonic™ Insulated Jacket; and the incredibly lightweight and breathable AirMesh™ Long Sleeve Hoody. As the air cools but your body heats up, the Cold Weather Trail collection offers the perfect layers that let you stay outside longer.
Enlightened Outdoor Experiences
The Mountain Hardwear Fall ‘25 Climb collection draws inspiration from the birthplace of American bouldering, Hueco Tanks State Park, Texas, providing technical and stylish gear needed for challenging ascents. Highlighted styles include the lightweight and packable Stretchdown™ Light Down Jacket, the foundational and roomy-cut Summit Grid™ Big Grid Fleece, the durable Send’r™ Pant and Rockrydge™ Pant, and the high-performance Phantom™ Alpine Down Hooded Jacket. Mountain Hardwear also launched a new collab collection with their friends at Brooklyn-based design studio Extra Vitamins. The collab features desert-inspired textures and psychedelic shapes; and there’s no place more textural, more layered, and more psychedelic than Hueco Tanks, Texas.
“In the Fall 2025 season, we put a focus on applying our ‘Everything is Equipment’ ethos across the product line,” said Paxton Madison, VP of Product Creation at Mountain Hardwear. “We believe that building products for the harshest winter conditions requires an approach that ensures everything you wear performs as an essential piece of equipment.
