Race to Zero T Shirt
Built to take on the world’s toughest races, or your daily training run.
- Ultra-lightweight weighing 113 grams
- Thousands of tiny perforations keep you cool
- Treated with a silver-based antimicrobial treatment
Race to Zero is an ultralight packable system built for running 5km or 5 days straight. Each piece is built with advanced materials, packs down into itself, and fits into the palm of your hand. Engineered with thousands of tiny perforations to let air flow in and out, the Race to Zero T Shirt is made to take on the world’s toughest races or your daily training run.
Weighing just 113 grams, it’s built with exactly the same ultra-soft Italian material we use to build the inner lining of the Race to Zero Shorts. It’s high-wicking, fast-drying, and stretches with you whatever you’re doing. And a silver-based antimicrobial treatment on the t shirt fights the odour molecules created by sweat, to keep you comfortable whether you’re 5km or 5 days into your run.

Technical Details
Short of leaving the house wearing your duvet, the Mars Hoodie is the closest you’re going to get to lying in your own bed 24/7.

A sci-fi landscape first photographed by NASA
During Martian winters, more than 3 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide freezes directly out of the atmosphere, coating the dunes in a blanket of dry ice, trapping them in place and hiding them from view. But when spring arrives, and the ice cap thaws, a sculpted and ever-shifting sci-fi landscape slowly comes to life. And on May 29, 2018, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the Corduroy Dunes in stunning detail for the first time.
The Corduroy Dunes are the kind of place you’d expect to see the cast of Dune flying over in an Ornithopter if you hung out there long enough.
The Mars Hoodie is a double-layered, weighted, 3D-knitted hoodie created out of multi-dimensional fabric, and unlike anything on Earth.
You’ll want comfort up in space
While you might imagine wanting to take a jetpack or a laser gun to Mars, in reality you’ll be better off taking things that are comfortable, comforting and familiar. Your guitar and photo of your grandparents are more likely to get through the trip. Explorers and astronauts have known this for a long time. It’s why Shackleton took books from his personal library to the Antarctic for him and his men, and why The Space Shuttle Program instituted a PPK allowance (known as a Personal Preference Kit). Since then, astronauts have carried their favourite clothes, national flags and even a saxophone up into space.
Downtime on Mars will be key. And that’s why we’ve built a hoodie that’s designed to feel like you’ve stayed in bed.
Mars clothing won’t all be about state-of-the-art robotics, or built-in life support systems. We’ll need loungewear too.
Clothing can soothe you
The science behind why certain objects soothe us is just starting to be understood. A paper published in 2020 in ‘The Journal of Integrative Medicine,’ showed that weighted blankets and other soft comfort objects reduce anxiety. In children we call these ‘transitional objects’ – something to ease the passage between being by themselves and being connected with another human. It’s why a blanket is one of the first things a child is likely to own, helping them adapt to new situations. Objects like this likely play a similar role for adults, too.
