1. Introduction | What is comfortable and truly usable clothing?

— Teton Bros.'s Spring/Summer 2025 collection is full of evolutions that are not just design but also "usable"

At first glance, the Teton Bros. Spring/Summer 2025 season appears to feature major changes, but it is packed with subtle improvements.
From base layers to active insulation and wind shells, the brand's iconic classic items have been given new fabrics, pattern adjustments, and revised stitching, resulting in improved functionality.

It feels like the products have been updated to be more suited to "real-life activities" as tools that can be used for a long time. By wearing them, you can move freely and smoothly adapt to changes in the weather. We have a selection of "really usable" clothing.

With the spring and summer season just around the corner, where will you go with these clothes? This trusted lineup will naturally inspire your imagination.

2. Comfortable even in hot weather - Functionality and development of the VAPOR series

Teton Bros.'s "VAPOR" series is a classic synthetic base layer. This series combines the convenience of being able to wear it alone with comfort while on the move, and the fabric has been completely updated for the 2025 season. With excellent moisture absorption and diffusion properties, quick-drying properties, and anti-odor treatment, it is now suitable for a wider variety of activities than ever before.

The fabric is made of two types of polyester with different functions. The skin side is made of hydrophobic yarn, which keeps the skin dry and not sticky even immediately after sweating. The surface is made of water-absorbent yarn, which quickly diffuses and evaporates the absorbed sweat. In addition to the UV protection performance of UPF+30, it also has an environmentally friendly deodorizing treatment, making it suitable for daily use such as mountain climbing.

Actual usage scenario

I personally use the VAPOR series for a wide range of activities, from daily running practice, trail running, and mountain climbing. I have used it for day hikes because it remains comfortable even in situations where you sweat a lot, but the highly odor-resistant coating makes it a garment that can be worn safely for several days on a mountain hike. I also like the convenience of being able to wear it casually in the city during hot seasons, and being able to go outside in just a shirt.

The model from last year was also very useful, but this season's updated fabric is CARAT, a very reliable fabric. Even if you sweat, it feels dry and comfortable to wear.

3. More comfort for your base layer ── the evolution of the Axio series

Teton Bros.'s "Axio" series is a base layer that combines the advantages of natural and synthetic fibers with a unique fabric that is a hybrid of wool and polyester. The comfort of wool, which has excellent moisture absorption and odor resistance, and the quick-drying and durable properties of polyester coexist in an exquisite balance.

This season, the fabric composition of "Axio Lite" has been updated to further improve sweat absorption and quick drying. The stitching has been changed from the conventional flat seam to the "M stitch" which is gentler on the skin, making it even smoother to wear. It does not get stuffy even when you sweat, and it does not cool the body. Its high practicality is not limited to use in the mountains, but also functions comfortably as daily wear in the city.

Actual usage scenario

The fabric has been updated from last year's Axio, making it softer against the skin. The quick-drying property, which is not possible with 100% wool, is a big attraction. The thickness and silhouette make it suitable for wearing all year round, so it can be used not only in the mountains but also in everyday life, but I would also like to use it for long-distance activities.

4. Lightweight and secure - the trusted WIND RIVER HOODY has evolved

When talking about Teton Bros., the lightweight wind shell "WIND RIVER HOODY" is a must-have that has been a best-seller for many years. This classic model that can be used all year round has been further updated for spring and summer 2025.

The key to this season's evolution is the adoption of a new fabric. While maintaining the same balance of wind resistance, breathability, and stretchability as before, the unevenness of the back side has been made more pronounced, improving the ability to separate from the skin when sweating. It doesn't get sticky even when wet, and keeps you comfortable during activities that require constant movement. It also has an excellent balance of lightness and durability, making it a tough piece that can withstand daily use with confidence.

The ease of use, such as ease of layering and portability, remains the same as before, and the detailed specifications such as double zipper ventilation and packability are still intact. In addition, this season's women's model has been optimized to fit the female body type, achieving a more natural fit.

Actual usage scenario

There are many companies selling wind shells, but it is no exaggeration to say that the WIND RIVER HOODY is the best choice. It is the best in terms of functionality, materials, design, and price. The proof is that it is available in too many colors. Many people may be searching for a way to combine rainwear and a wind shell, The comfort of the wind shell cannot be beaten by any other rainwear. This tendency is especially noticeable as your activity level increases. It weighs only 100g, but it is definitely more comfortable than that.

5. Active insulation: dynamic warmth that can be used all year round

Teton Bros. Active Insulation is a "dynamic insulation" garment designed for non-stop activities. It is a lineup that aims not only to protect you from the cold, but also to prevent sweating and keep the inside of the garment at a comfortable temperature.

This season, the classic "SLICK HOODY" and "RUN WITH OCTA", as well as the women's "WS BREATH RUNNER" have been updated, with the balance of breathability, heat retention, and fit further optimized for each. In particular, the SLICK series has "Stretch Octa" mapped to the front and around the arms to keep parts that are prone to getting cold warm, while the back is designed with ventilation in mind, allowing for temperature control in each area.

The RUN WITH OCTA uses the same angled zipper as the TSURUGI JACKET to ensure ventilation. It allows heat to escape quickly even in situations where you are very active, preventing excessive heat retention. As it is a pullover style with no zipper on the abdomen, it is light to wear.

The BREATH RUNNER is a female model of the RUN WITH OCTA, with the same functionality but with a pattern made specifically for women. It is designed to naturally fit the lines of the body without restricting movement.

Actual usage scenario

Since there is no OCTA on the back, you won't overheat even if you're carrying a backpack, making this an active insulation that really lets you move around. It's recommended as a real active garment for hiking and running in cold weather. Once you start using it, you'll realize that there are so many uses for it.

Conclusion | Updates are more about the "content" than the "appearance"

The so-called "classic" models have become even more practical. Rather than flashy design changes, they have reviewed materials, stitching, and patterns, and have continued to evolve to better fit the wearer's real activities. This attitude is what made them so popular for so long.

And what you'll notice when actually using it in the field is that the small improvements pile up and directly impact the essence of "ease of use." Sweat management while on the move, portability, fit. All of these factors contribute to "natural usability," and ultimately make it the most reliable clothing.

The reason to choose Teton Bros. clothing is not just about the specs. The experience and testing behind the updates, and the accumulation of that experience in each piece of clothing, make us want to wear this brand and head to the mountains again this year.
