By selling directly to our customers and eliminating the middleman retail markup, we are able to use higher performance materials, include more technical features usually only found on top line gear, innovate with groundbreaking technology and materials, and deliver products at a lower price.

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DURABILITY - KEEP YOUR GEAR OUT OF THE LANDFILL
engineered to last longer
We design all of our gear to be durable and long lasting. Constantly producing more products with short life spans creates excess waste. Anything that can be recycled from non-durable products does still have an environmental effect to make it usable again. Anything that cannot be recycled ends up in a land fill.
We envision a circular commerce system that eliminates waste and pollution, giving used clothing a second life. Enter AKOVA RENEWED™️, our gear renewal program. It empowers you to trade in your used gear and receive a 30% discount off your next purchase of new or used gear. When we design our products, we do not make short term decisions to make more money by using cheaper components wherever we can. We do not take short cuts in quality or durability. Designing for longevity is an eco-conscious approach that aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility.
ULTIMATE VERSATILITY - ALL PURPOSE
From Water to Snow
These next-to-skin layers are packed with features to keep you comfortable no matter the conditions. Wear them as a stand-alone shirt in warm weather, or as the base of your winter layering system.
BUILD YOUR CUSTOM SYSTEM
WINTER LAYERING
We wanted a layering system that was simple, specifically designed for high output winter sports, and versatile for a wide temperature range.
- Baselayer - Graphene LS: Thermoregulating next-to-skin comfort, effectively moves moisture away from the skin keeping you dry and comfortable
- Midlayer - Legacy or Element Insulator: Warm but breathable synthetic insulation
- Outerwear - Elevated Hardshell: Protection from the elements
We have used this layering system in sub-zero conditions to warm spring days (leaving the insulation at home). These layers excel by efficiently wicking moisture away from your body and out of the system while preserving the ideal amount of warmth.
