Design Story
Poly Peter Pika celebrates curiosity, preparedness, and the quiet determination of the alpine pika—one of California’s most relentless high-country residents. Famous for thriving in brutal conditions through meticulous prep and clever timing, the pika symbolizes diligence, resourcefulness, and small-but-steady focus. This design remixes that energy through a playful low-poly look inspired by early 3D adventure games—where simple facets still carried real heart. Finished with a tiny hiking pack and paired with a retro 8-bit woven launch label, the graphic reads nostalgic, wise, and ready for the trail ahead.

Material / Fabric
Made from 4 oz., 100% polyester interlock for a smooth, breathable, anti-sheen matte handfeel that cuts glare instead of creating it. Moisture-wicking technology keeps you dry through exertion, heat cycles, and long transitions without cling or overheating. Built-in UPF 50 sun protection provides legitimate shielding for alpine exposure, desert resets, and open-water hours alike.

Construction / Print Origin
The knit is cut for movement, built for long wear, and designed to stand up to elements without sacrificing comfort. The graphics are imitation screen-printed in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, delivering a soft-touch print that's crisp and durable.
