Planet Earth Ultralight Shorts
195 gram all-weather shorts built for travelling the planet.
- Ultra lightweight weighing 195 grams
- Water and dirt repellent with fluorocarbon-free nanotechnology
- Extreme two way stretch
Each pair starts out with advanced material technology developed by Schoeller in Switzerland, before being assembled at a cutting-edge Portuguese factory that builds skin suits for elite Olympic athletes. Highly elastic, breathable and fast drying, theyÕre equipped with three zipped pockets, and repel water and dirt with engineered fibres that mimic the self-cleaning effect produced by plant leaves.
Technical Details
Water and dirt repellent with plant-based technology
The shorts repel water and dirt with microscopic technology borrowed from plants. If you look at the leaf of any ‘vascular land plant’ out in nature you’ll find it’s coated by a waxy protective layer called a cuticle. This super thin film prevents water and dirt from penetrating the leaf’s tissues, as well as protecting it from pathogens, fungi and uncontrolled evaporation. The material the shorts are made from mimics this natural mechanism to help them shed water and dirt with ease.
Fast drying and breathable
This same technology also helps the shorts to dry out fast when they do get wet. And while some water repellent coatings can affect breathability by clogging the pores of a material, the chain structure round the fibres means sweat vapour can still escape from the inside.
They come with extreme two way stretch
The shorts are constructed with 5% elastane for extreme horizontal two way stretch. They’re so soft, lightweight and stretchy you can move in any direction without feeling resistance. And their relaxed shape with side splits at the hem helps to keep you comfortable whether you’re running, climbing, or sitting on a long haul flight.
