WHOOP × SR_A
PROJECT TERRAIN Layer 2
The tracker stops being a strap and becomes part of the cut. SR_A builds Layer 2 around where WHOOP's sensor sits, with a new Atlas band, a technical puffer and joggers made for the move from pavement to hillside.

Fragment × Mammut
Barryvox S2 FRGMT Edition
The one object in the pack you hope never to use, redrawn. Fragment leaves the Barryvox S2's search brain alone and changes what you see: a Glacier Blue shell, a shared badge, and a new power-on screen. Safety gear made worth carrying.
