2. PREFACE
It has been fourteen years since I received the satellite
call from Afghanistan that started the development of the
Protective Combat Uniform (PCU) program. Two months
later, I was joined by a group of special operations winter
warfare experts and professional alpinists to form the PCU
program development team. We met in Bozeman, Montana,
and set out to Cooke City for two weeks of rigorous material
testing and data collection. The outcome was a seven level
layering system that could keep a special operator alive
down to -50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Since that initial PCU system, the technologies have
improved while the need for survival systems remains. At
BEYOND, we set out to apply these technologies to provide
a lighter, warmer, and more compressible system—AXIOS.
The AXIOS system continues to evolve with the input
of those that live and operate in the worst temperature
extremes.
In April of 2016, we went back to the original site of the
PCU material testing to pay homage to that revolutionary
development effort. The imagery in this book retraces the
ground that was covered during those two weeks in March
2002. It was special to remember the energy and purpose
exuded toward protecting so many warriors and future
explorers. We wanted to remember and thank those fifteen
special individuals that set our passion for clothing on this
path.

4. LAYERING SYSTEMS DESIGNED FOR
SURVIVAL
Beyond was created out of the need for survival
clothing systems engineered specifically with
the mission in mind. By pulling from years of real
life and industry experience, Beyond builds the
most technical clothing solutions on the market
to ensure your survival anywhere in the world.
MADE IN THE USA
Domestic manufacturing allows us to maintain
the highest level of craftsmanship and the
flexibility to implement new technologies and
construction methods as soon as they are
available. Whether we are producing in-house,
or with one of our US factories, we are better
enabled to audit quality and produce real-time.

5. SYSTEM BUILDER
The AXIOS clothing system is the most
complete, technical survival clothing system
ever developed to support your mission. The
seven layer AXIOS system uses the most
advanced fabrics currently available, offering
a Berry Compliant synthetic clothing system of
quality and integrity. The system incorporates
both active and static subsystems, fusing them
into one synergistic survival clothing system.
The AXIOS system breathes incredibly well,
dries very fast, and is designed to work with
the users and their gear down to -40°F. This
offers the end user unparalleled freedom
to adapt their clothing systems to dynamic
environmental conditions and mission sets.
Everything about the AXIOS system is geared
toward comfort and functionality to help
achieve mission success.
7. 12 | A1 - BASELAYERS
Our Aether and Power Wool™ Baselayers are
the foundation of the AXIOS layering system.
Built out of 4-way stretch synthetic materials
and featuring anti-microbial gussets and
underarms, these garments are designed
to efficiently wick moisture from the body to
ensure temperature regulation during high
energy output.
