Anatomical cuts with lightweight and highly elastic fabrics follow the body’s natural lines to provide performance and protection without restricting movement.

We choose thinner fabrics that can still provide the same level of warmth as thicker options, but feel, stretch, and pack down better.

Durable waterproof treatment (DWR) is applied to almost every AW product to shield riders against light rain and road spray without overheating or washing out.

We apply a variety of reflective elements, including fabric inserts, piping, and heat transferred logos and graphics, to provide stylish visibility from every angle.
