LAPSE vs normal clothes

Same day.
Half the weight.

Pick a day. We dress it twice: once with LAPSE, once with what is usually in the drawer (cotton, a hoodie, a rain jacket).

+22° at 800 m, up to 4,000 m in 20 km/h wind → you need −4° to +22° covered.

When it gets wetCotton holds water and stops insulating; our knits and merino blend keep working damp and dry in about an hour.
LayersEvery LAPSE piece has a job (base, mid, shell, legs), so you add or drop one layer instead of changing outfits.

Normal-clothes weights and ranges are our estimates for typical retail pieces. LAPSE is a concept brand: weights and ratings are design targets.
