Airshed Pullover
The
Think Outside
the Sweatbox
The Airshed is an ambassador favorite. One tester dubbed it “The Magic Shirt” for
its ability to block just enough wind to fight the chill, yet remain breathable enough
to prevent the dreaded sweatbox effect. When paired with a baselayer or midlayer it
covers an incredible range of temperatures. Work hard, play hard, the Airshed does it
all. See it, and the rest of the trail running collection at
