Venting that works like air-con for the desert
Working down from the collar you’ll find a giant hidden air vent that runs almost the entire length of your spine. Designed for hot, humid, or arid environments it’s one of 7 concealed air vents in the shirt that work together like in-built air-con. Each vent opens and closes either with body movement or with zip closures. And we’ve built them in the places you’re likely to sweat most – down the centre of your spine, your armpits, down the centre of your chest, and around your waist.

7 concealed air vents can cool you rapidly
When you open up each vent you’ll find it’s lined internally with a super soft, lightweight Italian mesh fabric. The mesh is fast drying and incredibly breathable which means sweat can escape easily and air can flow into your shirt to cool you rapidly. The three vents at the back are engineered like joints, creating extra flex in the shirt down your spine and across your shoulders. The two front vents hidden either side of the chest pockets are zipped so you decide when to open them up to air. And there are two slit vents along the hem. Every vent is reinforced for strength.

Ultra lightweight and packable
At 290 grams the shirt is ultra lightweight, and more than 100 grams lighter than the original. When you consider the number of technical features in the shirt – 7 vents, 17 buttons, 3 zippers, 4 pockets, a high collar, 2 sleeve straps, 3 hanging loops and 8 gadget loops – 290 grams is an astonishingly low weight. Highly packable it folds down small enough to fit it into any backpack, meaning it’s perfect for any journey or adventure.

Highly breathable, fast drying and stretchy
The shirt’s ultra lightweight material is incredibly breathable and dries out quickly even if you get soaked – making the shirt as at home in a rainforest as it is in a city. And its two way horizontal stretch allows you to stretch, pull or turn in any direction without feeling restricted.

Works as well in the office as it does in a mangrove swamp
The Planet Earth Shirt adapts to life in the city as easily as it thrives in the jungle. The collar can be worn turned down and unfastened just like a regular collar. The cuffs button up with two slip bioresin buttons to look like regular cuffs. Both chest pockets will fit your phone. The hidden passport pocket holds your keys. And a fourth bellows pocket on the left arm will keep your credit cards to hand. The front air vents zip up. And when you’ve washed it, you’ll find two internal hanging loops with snap fastenings, so you can hang your shirt up to dry off anything from a jungle creeper to a washing line.
