Haglöfs’ “Less is More” series challenges every gram to maximize the feeling of freedom outdoors
A new season of lightweight, packable, and versatile outdoor essentials has arrived.
Haglöfs is releasing a fresh batch of L.I.M Series styles, all built around the idea that if you head out with less, you’ll be free to experience more. The spring/summer 2026 styles are lightweight, packable, and versatile as always, while prioritizing seasonal comfort through the use of breathable, fast-drying, and sun-protective fabrics.
“While we questioned every gram during the design process, it was equally important for us to push the boundaries of performance with innovative materials and results-oriented details designed around real needs in spring-to-summer conditions,” says Haglöfs Designer Franziska Knitsch. “We also kept versatility top-of-mind, giving explorers pieces they can mix and match to meet the demands of the day’s adventure.”
Outdoor gear for roaming farther, wilder, freer.
L.I.M Sunpack Hoodie
The L.I.M Sunpack Hoodie is a packable sun-protective hoodie for fast-paced activities in warm and sunny conditions. It’s made from a titanium dioxide-infused
UPF 50+ fabric that is lightweight, stretchy, and durable. Open underarm ventilation helps you stay cool. The hood keeps your neck and ears covered and has an integrated pocket where you can pack the hoodie for easy storage in between adventures.
Features:
- Fabric UPF 50+ (EN 13758-1)
- Titanium dioxide-infused fabric provides UPF protection
- Open underarm ventilation
- Thumbholes
- Elastic hood with packable pocket
- Reflective details
Design Insight:
“The fabric was made using our innovation partner’s proprietary process, where the titanium dioxide is permanently locked inside the yarn. This allowed us to integrate a higher concentration of the mineral and knit with smaller denier yarns to create a lightweight and sun-friendly fabric with lasting UPF protection. The L.I.M Sunpack Hoodie fabric blocks UVA and UVB rays, and the embedded titanium dioxide can even help reduce the visibility of sweat marks.” - Franziska Knitsch, Haglöfs Designer
L.I.M Mimic Barrier Hood
The L.I.M Mimic Barrier Hood is a minimalistic insulated jacket for chilly moments in spring and summer. It’s made from a light and flexible woven fabric in recycled polyamide and elastane, treated with PFAS-free DWR to repel water and dirt. The front, back, and sleeves are filled with 25 grams of synthetic sheet insulation with four-way stretch, providing warmth where you need it most. The side panels have laser-cut ventilation holes for breathable comfort. You’ll also discover an adjustable hood and a zippered chest pocket that doubles as a packing pocket for easy storage.
Features:
- 25 g of synthetic sheet insulation in the body and sleeves
- Side panels with single-layer fabric and laser-cut ventilation holes
- PFAS-free DWR
- Zippered chest pocket that doubles as a jacket storage pocket
- Reflective trims and logos
Design Insight:
“We aimed to achieve a ‘second skin’ feeling with this product, removing any unnecessary detail that could disturb the wearer. A new trim package and finishing helped us push weight reduction even further. The result is a sleek insulator that is packed with performance. The L.I.M Mimic Barrier Hood keeps you warm when you need an extra layer, and even performs in wet conditions. The body mapping and laser-cut ventilation holes help prevent overheating during high-intensity activities.” - Franziska Knitsch, Haglöfs Designer
This model also comes in a versatile vest style: ‘The L.I.M Mimic Barrier Vest’ offers the same advantages with the same light and flexible fabric, DWR treatment, breathable comfort and packability, and 25 grams of synthetic insulation focused on supporting core warmth.
