The biggest highlight of the Alvier Armor kit is Mammut’s use of the Phase Map. The Swiss brand utilizes different materials and weaves them in a seamless construction that provides reinforcement in areas prone to wear and tear, such as the shoulders, chest, waist and cuffs, and breathability in zones that need it. The lack of seams ensures a comfortable fit, in which movement isn’t impeded, as well as a stylish look. “I really enjoyed this suit,” said tester Crystal-Rose Lee. “Great for touring, with articulated knees and elbows, reinforced boot cuffs and incredible stretch.” Mammut also employs shiny metallic zippers to give the kit a chic, feminine look.
