Carhartt has updated its Yukon Extremes collection for men and women who must be outside in extreme cold conditions.

According to Carhartt, the original collection was developed more than 25 years ago.

“The company is committed to evolving its products to not only meet the ever-changing needs of consumers, but to also improve its gear as well. The re-invented Yukon Extremes collection was updated this year to be warmer and tougher than any other cold gear on the market, without the weight.”

The updated collection for the first time also includes clothing for women and introduces a fleece offering.

“With Yukon Extremes, we knew we needed to offer a product that provided extreme warmth and durability at an affordable price point that could be used in the coldest environments – such as the Arctic,” said Alex Guerrero, senior vice president, general manager, global product at Carhartt.

After testing a variety of fabrics - including using its own “abrasion testing” - Carhartt said it chose "a 500-denier CORDURA fabric shell and 3M Thinsulate insulation for many of the pieces. CORDURA, an innovative suppler of the most durable fabrics, is used extensively in military gear and apparel with proven performance in some of the world’s toughest conditions.

Additionally, throughout the design process, Carhartt worked closely with 3M to introduce a new reflective safety technology that offers retro-reflectivity and versatility."

The Yukon Extremes collection with descriptions from Carhartt includes:
