Forged in the granite and grit of the Nordics, Haglöfs is dedicated to finding new ways of experiencing the outdoors and to opening up new landscapes for people everywhere. That’s why they have engineered their gear to not only endure the elements but to take you beyond your comfort zone. To let you roam farther, wilder, freer – in the greatest playground ever made. **Backed by a design philosophy fine-tuned for the realities of high-alpine terrain, the Swedish brand trusts Polartec® premium technical fabrics to handle extremes without blinking**. Because innovation is in their DNA and is balanced by a profound respect for the world we live in. “*Polartec helps us bring high-performance and technical credibility to life, especially in our most demanding ranges, like L.I.M ZT. With L.I.M ZT 2.0, we’re pushing further into the world of lightweight durability and uncompromising alpine performance. Polartec enables us to do that with materials that are not only proven in the field but also backed by innovation and responsible thinking.*” - Caroline Auclair, Haglöfs Head of Category. ![4 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768](https://polartec-polartec.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/img/News/haglofs/4-Polartec-FP-Haglofs-768x768.jpg?w=450&h=450&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1754495743&s=7e0d11058550d6ffa52ed51787fa879c) ![5 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ![2 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ![3 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ![1 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ![6 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ![7 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ![8 Polartec FP Haglofs 768x768]() ### Roots That Run Vertical **The newest pillar of Haglöfs’ technical evolution is the L.I.M ZT 2.0 Collection**, **a layering system built for those high-output mountain pursuits that demand high performance from every laye**r. **Designed in collaboration with Polartec**, the collection is powered by the advanced capabilities of [**Polartec® Power Dry™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/base/power-dry) and[ **Polartec® Delta™**](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/base/delta). Both fabrics are engineered for comfort (obviously). Yet more importantly, they **deliver control by managing moisture, enhancing breathability, and enabling adaptive thermoregulation** in the most volatile alpine environments. The resulting synergy between garment design and fabric science powers the unique L.I.M ZT 2.0 layering system, ensuring that every piece is deliberately minimalist, incredibly compressible, and designed to pack down small without losing performance. ### No Margin for Error Known for designing fabrics that handle extremes without blinking, Polartec® makes sure that L.I.M ZT 2.0 can handle sweat, temperature spikes, and brutal pacing. As a result, the **alpine-ready system cools when you’re hot, dries before you even notice, and moves with your body while refusing to lock in heat**. [Polartec® Power Dry™](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/base/power-dry) and [Polartec® Delta™ ](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/base/delta)thrive under pressure and refuse to lose momentum no matter how steep the climb. **With weights starting at just 25 grams**, this is not your typical gear. The full kit is ultra-streamlined. With a total packed volume that takes up less than half of your bag, there’s plenty of room for food, safety gear or whatever the day demands. ### Born to Move Fast (and light) **François Montuori** lives for that fine line between efficiency and ambition. A **backcountry skier, mountaineer, and Hike & Fly addict** raised in the French Alps, François doesn’t wait for the conditions to be right, he makes them work. This same drive has helped shaped every detail of the L.I.M ZT 2.0 system, where his fast-and-light mindset pushed Haglöfs and Polartec to build layers that compress, breathe, and perform with zero excess. The result is a complete system that, like François himself, is purposeful, and ready to take on an entire mountain in a single day. “*It was rewarding to see the products evolve just as I’d imagined,”* he explains. *“With innovative materials and a focused design team, we created a full kit that uses only 40% of the volume in our 30L L.I.M ZT 2.0 backpack. It’s really an awesome result!*” ### Pioneering Innovation The L.I.M ZT II Air Top, Bottom, Base, Cap, Beanie, and Balaclava all leverage the patented knit structure of Polartec® Delta™ to hold moisture where it’s needed for evaporative cooling while **promoting airflow and reducing cling**. The L.I.M ZT II Air Mid, on the other hand, takes a hybrid approach, combining Polartec® Delta™ and Polartec® Power Dry™ fabrics for enhanced versatility. Here, the **cooling ability** of Polartec® Delta™ is matched with the **quick-drying** performance of Polartec® Power Dry™, whose bi-component knit construction **rapidly wicks moisture away** from the skin and distributes it across the fabric’s surface for **faster dissipation**. The result is a complete system of **lightweight**, **breathable** staples that can take abuse, dry fast and stay in the game. ### Future Focused Performance Driven by a mission to make gear for anyone who seeks more from the outdoors, Haglöfs continues to challenge what's possible when pushing your limits. And by working with partners like Polartec who share those values, it strengthens what they stand for. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about filling a fabric need, it’s about telling a story that’s authentic, relevant and forward-looking. Just like the L.I.M ZT 2.0 Collection. No excuses. No extras. Just solid layers you can trust to “disappear” under pressure. Because lightweight doesn’t mean fragile. [ See the collection. ](https://www.haglofs.com/lim-series-zt) Share.
