ThruDark reaches new heights with extensive Pro Mountain collection

Positioning itself as a complete layering system for mountain professionals, ThruDark’s new and aptly named ‘Pro Mountain’ range boasts an impressive array of technical fabrics that covers everything from Pertex Quantum and Polartec through to a rare black Dyneema and a unique mix of Merino wool and Cordura . Given the epic and adventurous back story to this brilliant British brand, it makes total sense that they’ve created an elite range of high-altitude gear designed for tackling the toughest rock and rope routes on the planet. Following on from their previous industry leading Summit suit the Mountain Pro’s early phase testing and development was led by former Italian Special Forces Operator Luca Fois followed by IFMGA British Mountain Guide Jon Holliday then putting it through its paces. A comprehensive collection of high spec gear, this alpine-friendly range runs the full mountaineering rig out with base and mid layers, waterproof trousers, lightweight insulation jackets and hard shell outerwear. Having road tested several pieces this year the quality and attention to design are the first things that scream out at you with ThruDark gear, even if the subtle darker tones of the products don’t.
