NEW TNF Summit Series Meru Range With Video

© TNF
TNF Meru Graphic The Meru range was developed with TNF athletes Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk specifically for their second attempt on the previously unclimbed 20,700-foot Shark's Fin of Meru, in the Garhwal Himalaya of India. They failed in 2008, and on their return began working with TNF to design their ideal clothing system for a return attempt. They were successful last October, wearing the kit! Here's a quick look at the range, followed by a video of Conrad Anker talking us through the designs.

We have a review of the Meru Range coming soon.

RRP £330

Lightweight, breathable and waterproof Active Shell trousers built for technical ascents in challenging conditions. Features include full-length two-way leg zips, drop seat, easily accessible thigh pockets, three-way zip opening integrated gaiters, burly 'Keprotec' kickpatches and low-profile suspenders.

TNF Meru Kit

Shaffle Jacket
RRP £450

Body-mapped down jacket for a balance of warmth and mobility on the mountain. The fill is 700 fill Hungarian goose down, and the baffles are welded rather than stitched through. Has a lightweight design and minimalist profile to offer warmth without adding bulk.

Radish Mid Layer Jacket
RRP £155

Lightweight stretch fleece jacket with a 'hard face' outer designed to shed snow. The fleece has a micro-check brushed interior, and 'FlashDry' technology to improve drying time. Reinforced shoulder and hip zones protect from pack abrasion on the outside, and flatlocked seams prevent chafing on the inside.
