About a decade ago, every brand was racing to develop ultra-light windshells in the 50g range.
At the time, using paper-thin fabrics and tight silhouettes to cut down on every gram of material was one of the answers.
Now that gear as a whole has grown lighter, we want more from a windshell than a low number on the scale.
The Gram Pullover starts from the premise of being among the lightest in its class, then rethinks the balance with comfort you can keep wearing through a full day of movement.
Original 7D Ripstop Nylon
At just 22g/m², this is an exceptionally thin fabric — but its fine surface texture keeps it from clinging, even when you sweat.
It has a silky softness, without the crinkly rustle common to thin nylon.
By applying an air-blocking finish only to the back side, it maintains the wind resistance a windshell needs, while the face side is finished with a subdued, matte look that reduces shine.
Beyond its light weight, this fabric is defined by its soft hand against the skin and a quiet, understated look that fits easily into everyday life.
A pullover that balances lightness with wearability
Though it’s a half-zip, the zipper is generously long, making it easy to put on and take off without any fuss.
It has a relaxed boxy silhouette.
It leaves room between the body and fabric so it doesn’t pull when layered, and so heat and moisture don’t build up too much during activity.
Keeping true to a windshell’s core purpose — blocking wind — the pattern is designed so the hem won’t ride up easily during activity.
By removing the seam between the sleeves and body and making them one continuous piece, the body is less likely to get pulled when you lift your arms.
The armholes, too, are cut with enough room, balancing ease of movement with a hem that stays in place.
Ultra-lightweight, without losing the details that matter
Because the fabric is so thin and light, flat‑felled and French seams are used at stitched areas for strength.
Enclosing the raw edges means no exposed seam allowance even inside out, and the layered fabric reinforces the seam itself.
With seam allowances and thread kept out of sight, there’s less risk of snagging when putting it on, taking it off, or packing it away.
A small stuff pocket sits at the back of the collar.
An elastic cord runs all the way around the hem, keeping wind from blowing in from below.
No plastic parts are used at the adjustment points; cinching and loosening can be done intuitively, on both sides at once.
This piece aims to strike a balance between minimal details and usability on the move.
