Royal Robbins introduces new styles featuring award-winning, chemical free Mosquito Protection Technology™ for spring 2027

June 4, 2026

New additions to best-selling Pucker and Spotless collections bring comfort, versatility and sustainability to every adventure.

BERKELEY, Calif. (June 4, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Royal Robbins, the outdoor apparel brand rooted in adventure and the granite walls of Yosemite, launches its Spring 2027 collection at the Grassroots Outdoor Connect tradeshow in Reno, Nev. June 8-11, 2026. The Spring 2027 line is defined by natural performance, versatility and lower-impact design.

Ninety-one percent of Spring 2027 styles meet Royal Robbins highest sustainability standard, requiring a minimum of 75% lower-impact fibers — including preferred cotton, recycled polyester, recycled nylon, hemp, and certified preferred forest materials.

Amplifying protection from sun and mosquitoes

To meet the demands of consumers and retailers, Royal Robbins expands its use of award-winning, chemical-free Mosquito Protection Technology™ with the Spring 2027 launch of hoodies and accessories. MPT works through a tight-weave construction that physically prevents mosquitoes from penetrating the fabric — no chemicals, no biocides, no permethrin. Lab and field testing confirms 92% effectiveness, and unlike chemical mosquito repellents, MPT does not wash or wear away over time.

Salathé expands with the addition of the Salathé Sun Full Zip Hoodie for men and women. This full zip ultralight performance sun hoodie offers UPF40+ sun protection and chemical-free mosquito protection. Built from 100% recycled ultralight polyester ripstop with mechanical stretch, the Full Zip features a close-fitting 3-panel hood sized to fit comfortably over a baseball cap, elasticated cuffs to seal out insects, raglan sleeves and a saddle back yoke for unrestricted movement, and a packable design that stows into its own pocket. A new Salathé Bandana is also launching. These join the existing Salathé Sun Shirt, in both S/S and L/S, and Salathé Sun Hoodie, completing the most comprehensive sun- and mosquito-protection lineup in the brand’s history.

MPT protection also runs through the Wilder collection, a trail-focused family of pants, shorts, zip-offs, skorts, along with a new Wilder Bucket hat and Wilder Cap.

Natural fibers built for adventure

The iconic Pucker franchise continues to evolve with the launch of the Hemp Pucker S/S for men and women. Blending hemp, TENCEL™ Lyocell and stretch, the new Pucker shirt delivers lightweight breathability, softness and comfort that improves over time. Every Pucker style continues to use wood-based TENCEL™ fibers, which utilize responsibly sourced wood and a process that uses 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption than comparable fibers.

Also new for Spring 2027 is the women’s Camino Pucker Trail top, designed with backpack-friendly shoulder seams and extended coverage for all-day movement.

The adventure-ready Crux Collection expands with the introduction of the Crux Pant and Crux Utility Short for men. Built from rugged BCI Cotton Ripstop stretch canvas, the collection combines abrasion resistance with mobility for climbing and everyday wear. Crux fabrics are finished using E-Flow low-impact wash technology, a nanobubble process that minimizes water use and eliminates discharge.

Spotless versatility grows

Royal Robbins Spotless collection, powered by a bluesign-approved, 86% recycled polyester, 14% elastane fabric, continues to provide travelers, hikers, and adventurers wrinkle resistance, 4-way stretch, moisture wicking, and UPF 40+ sun protection in a single package. For Spring 2027, the collection adds three new styles.

The Spotless Short with Liner brings built-in performance with a gusseted knit liner short, dual zip hand pockets, and a liner phone pocket to keep devices stable on the trail. The Spotless Crop Pant introduces a versatile wide-cropped leg with a sliding hem lock for a customizable silhouette, a hidden mesh phone pocket, and a concealed zip pocket. And, the Spotless Midi Dress debuts as the longest addition to the collection, at 51 inches, featuring front and back V-neck ventilation and the same packable, stain-resistant, wrinkle-free performance the collection is known for.

The broader Spotless lineup continues to offer one of the outdoor apparel market’s most versatile adventure-to-everyday wardrobes.
