Raide Research Launches New TourTech System - A Purpose-Built Ski Touring Apparel Line
The TourTech System from Raide Research, launched today.
The TourTech System represents an extension of Raide’s commitment to making equipment and apparel for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains. Each piece is designed to work together and with your pack to enhance your freedom and flow.
The TourTech System includes a shell jacket, bib pants, a hybrid hoodie, and baselayer bottoms. The outerwear comes in four colors (Purple, Bark, Moss, and Black) and the midlayer comes in three colors (Moss, Sand, and Black).
TourTech Shell | Men’s | Women’s | 599 USD |
Your ski touring shell spends most of its life in your pack, but when you need it, it has to work flawlessly. The TourTech Shell was built to deliver the ideal balance of weight, packability, durability, and protection for high-output ski touring. Lightweight enough to disappear in your pack, yet tough enough to handle rock, ice, and tree branches. Designed to balance breathability, a freeride-inspired fit, and purpose-built details for backcountry use. This is the shell we always wanted: one that performs like a top-tier alpine jacket but fits and looks the way we actually ski.
TourTech Bib | Men’s | Women’s | 449 USD |
They say "We felt like the perfect ski touring pant didn't exist, so we made it. The TourTech Bib presents the best of both worlds offering a breathable softshell fabric in the upper half and a waterproof, breathable hardshell in the lower half. This allows your high output areas to breathe, while the areas that interface with the snow more frequently have waterproofness. Updated this year with a better fit, new softshell, a more breathable hardshell and more."
TourTech Hybrid Hoodie | Men’s | Women’s | 229 USD | They say "We couldn’t find a midlayer we wanted to keep on all day, so we built one. The TourTech Hybrid Hoodie is designed specifically for ski touring, with insulation only where you need it and none where you don’t. A single insulated panel across the chest provides targeted warmth, while the rest of the hoodie stays uninsulated for maximum breathability under a pack or shell. It’s the layer you’ll start and finish every tour in, no matter the conditions."
TourTech Baselayer Bottoms | Men’s | Women’s | 149 USD | Description: Built to enhance the flow of ski touring, the baselayer bottoms give you the ability to maintain a comfortable temperature in your lower body regardless of what the day throws at you. The Baselayer Bottoms can be removed mid-tour without taking off your boots or pants, letting you fine-tune warmth on the move. Featuring a beacon pocket that doubles as the stow pocket for the garment. This layer comes with us almost every day.
