“Comfort is performance. When you’re free from distraction, you’re free to move.”
The fabric of a garment is its soul. It’s the unseen partner in every stride — the layer that manages moisture, regulates temperature, and protects you from the elements. At Outopia, we believe fabric is the foundation of performance. It’s what transforms gear from something you wear into something you trust.
We don’t select materials by chance. Each fabric in our collection has a role to play, chosen not just for how it feels, but for how it performs on the trail and in the world we share. Our standard is simple: purposeful function, responsible sourcing, and comfort that lets you move without limits.
ZQ™ Merino Wool: Nature’s Original Tech Fabric
“Soft on skin. Strong for the planet.”
When we think about comfort closest to the skin, we look to nature first. Our ZQ™-certified merino wool is traceable to farms that prioritize animal welfare, environmental care, and community well-being.
Merino is more than soft — it’s intelligent. The crimp of its ultrafine fibers creates a natural thermostat: trapping warmth when it’s cold, releasing heat when you push harder. It manages moisture vapor before sweat even forms and resists odor naturally, meaning less washing and longer wear. On the trail, in the city, or between journeys, it’s the ultimate proof that performance and sustainability can coexist in a single fiber.
Pertex® Quantum: Weightless Protection
“Protection you forget you’re wearing.”
Wind is a constant companion in the mountains — sometimes friend, often foe. Pertex® Quantum is our answer: a near-weightless fabric woven with high-strength yarns that create a dense, stable structure.
The result is protection without compromise. It blocks wind, sheds weight, and moves silently with you. Soft to the touch yet remarkably durable, it allows insulation to loft fully, maximizing warmth without bulk. Whether stashed in your pack or shielding you at the summit, it proves that less can truly be more.
Polartec® Alpha®: The Art of Active Insulation“Warmth in motion. Breathability at rest.”
Trail running is a rhythm of acceleration and pause. The challenge isn’t just staying warm — it’s staying balanced. Polartec® Alpha® was engineered for this dance.
Unlike traditional insulation, Alpha® breathes as you move. Its lofted fibers are anchored to a mesh core, releasing excess heat and moisture before they become discomfort. The effect is dynamic equilibrium: warmth when you need it, airflow when you push, recovery without the chill. For the stop-and-go intensity of the trail, it’s active insulation at its finest.
Our Perspective
“The trail doesn't ask for perfection. It asks for presence.”
From natural wonders to engineered breakthroughs, our fabrics are more than textiles — they are tools for freedom, designed to keep you moving in comfort, confidence, and connection.
Because in the end, comfort isn’t just a feature. It’s the foundation for performance, for joy, and for the sense of belonging we find every time our feet hit the trail.
