The Purple Mountain Observatory Waffle Long Sleeve Top is a thoughtfully designed mid-layer that bridges the gap between lightweight base layers and heavier insulating pieces. Born from PMO's adventure-driven design philosophy, the Waffle LS is crafted for those who demand performance from their clothing without compromising on comfort or style.
Waffle Fabric Construction
At the heart of this top is its distinctive waffle-knit fabric. The textured, grid-like structure of waffle fabric creates small air pockets across the surface, which trap body heat to provide effective insulation. This same construction also promotes excellent breathability, allowing excess moisture and heat to escape during higher-intensity activities. The result is a mid-layer that regulates temperature efficiently — keeping you warm when you need it and preventing overheating when the pace picks up.
Relaxed Fit for Versatile Layering
Cut in a relaxed fit, the Waffle LS offers generous room for comfortable, unrestricted movement on the trail, at the crag, or around town. The easy-going silhouette layers effortlessly over base layers and sits neatly beneath hardshell or softshell jackets, making it a reliable component in any layering system. Whether you're building a system for winter hill walks or simply need a comfortable layer for cooler evenings, this top adapts to the situation.
Lightweight Performance
Tipping the scales at just 276g, the Waffle LS is light enough to pack along on any adventure without adding noticeable weight to your kit. It's an ideal grab-and-go piece for changeable conditions, ready to be thrown on when temperatures dip or stowed away when the sun breaks through.
