Backcountry stokers, this kit is for you. Let’s dive into the Flylow Lab Coat and Baker Perm Bib brought to you by Flylow’s Z Line, a collection of lightweight and breathable gear made for the backcountry. Starting with the Flylow Lab Coat, this jacket is made from Intuitive Perm HD fabric. Why is this important? Well, for most fabrics, in order to transfer moisture, they have to first get wet before they can get wicking. Which, in a backcountry setting means sweating and getting cold. Hard pass. With Intuitive Perm, that heat and vapor are released with every movement of the fabric. Oh, and it’s recycled. Nice! The Lab Coat is designed to be worn with a pack, has five pockets for storing goods, 14-inch pit vents, YKK waterproof Vislon zips and is weighs only 602 g, so you know this thing is primed for big days. On the bottom, pair it with the Baker Perm Bib with 1000 denier cuff and knee reinforcements, multiple chest pockets, inner and outer thigh vents and a fit that promotes freedom of movement.
