Dragonfly Waterproof Trench

The Dragonfly system already defines pure functional superiority in the ultralight rain category for run, hike, bike. In 2026 Beringia advances the platform with the Dragonfly Trench, a mid-thigh ultralight shell that takes performance rainwear to a crucial level.

Why it matters. One of the body’s most critical heat zones sits at the hips and upper thighs, where the Femoral artery moves warm blood between the core, legs, pelvis, and lower back. By extending protection below the waist, the Dragonfly Trench shields this circulation hub from wind, rain, and blowing snow, helping prevent rapid heat loss while keeping the core system warm and comfortable. The difference is immediate.

The extra length sheds precipitation cleanly off your pants, blocks cold updrafts, and deploys instantly when you need a barrier to sit on wet rocks, snow, or frozen surfaces. Physics, executed with ultralight precision.

Beyond the thermodynamics and tested field utility, the mid-thigh silhouette carries a certain urban authority, the kind of minimal presence that delivers crucial protection and unmistakable respect on rainy late-night streets from Berlin to Manchester.

Made from our proprietary Dragonfly rain shell fabric, a made in Japan, 3-layer, thin-film laminate and the foundation of the waterproof system.
