Laika
$54.99 $64.99
Laika is a performance mid-layer. Its brushed-back 100% recycled fabric feels soft and warm next to the skin and traps extra insulating air close to your body. The smooth, close-knit outer cuts out more wind chill than your average base layer, and extra hardwearing. A deep front zip gives extra ventilation, keeping you cool when working hard in colder climes.
- Soft and warm with extra wind resistance
- High-wicking and fast drying for working up a sweat
- Polygiene® treated to wear for multiple days
Designed for working up a serious sweat, Laika uses a high-wicking, fast drying and breathable recycled polyester fabric, keeping you comfortable throughout the day. The high collar and deep front zip allow you to further control your temperature when the terrain/weather conditions change. And thumb loops provide extra hand coverage when you’ve been caught out without your gloves.
The Laika has a 4-way stretch which moves with you, even when trail running turns into fell running and fell running turns into on-all-fours-running! Last but not least, the Laika is Polygiene® treated to resist odours, meaning you can wear it multiple times in a row without having to erect your own personal quarantine tent!
Designers Notes
"The Laika has been in our range for a number of years, but we knew we could make it better – and not just by making it fully recycled. We’ve improved the wicking and made it faster drying by reducing the weight and eliminating any spandex from the fabric."

How to measure
This size chart indicates the body measurements our garments are designed to fit. Measure yourself as described below, and use the size chart to find your size:
Chest - measure around your chest at the widest part. The tape measure should pass under your arms, and be level from front to back.
Waist - measure around your waist at the narrowest part.
Sleeve - With your arms relaxed by your side, tilt your head down and ask a friend to measure from the bone at the base of your neck, over your shoulder and down your arm to the fold at your wrist.
