Equator T Shirt
Designed to not stick to you, even in extreme heat.
- Made from ultrasoft Pima cotton
- Lightweight t shirt weighing 130 grams
- Highly breathable and cooling
Home to some of the hottest and most humid places on the planet, the equator carves through dense tropical jungles, warm seas, and crowded cities. Instead of seasons or temperature changes you’re more likely to be hit by a wall of heat, sun, rain and humidity. But as global temperatures rise and climate zones shift, designing clothing for the equator is like designing for our future.
So our Equator gear is built to keep you comfortable in all 40,000km of one of the most extreme environments we currently inhabit, and one that’s set to grow. The Equator T Shirt is made from one of the lightest and softest fabrics on the planet – 100% Pima cotton. The silk-like fibres of Pima cotton are much longer and stronger than normal cotton, so they make a much softer, smoother, and more durable t shirt.
As temperatures rise, you’ll find it’s highly breathable, lightweight, fast drying and cooling next to your skin.
Planet Earth Swim Shorts
High performance swim shorts engineered to work anywhere on Earth.
Technical Details
The material we’ve used was originally designed for compression gear so it’s incredibly stretchy and strong.
Hard-wearing but soft next to your skin
You probably won’t have ever worn a pair of knitted swim shorts before, but they represent the holy grail of sports gear – incredibly strong, stretchy, soft and lightweight all at the same time. By blending elastane with a super tough nylon yarn, we’ve created a unique knitted fabric. With millions of microscopic knitted loops, it manages to feel soft, stretchy and cooling next to your skin, while staying hard-wearing and smooth to the touch on the outside.
Everything that makes these shorts amazing for the oceans makes them phenomenal back on land too.
WATER REPELLENT AND FAST DRYING
The shorts are treated with a durable water repellent coating that’s completely free from toxic fluorocarbons. Ocean spray will simply roll off them. And the same technology means the shorts dry rapidly out of the water, especially in direct sunlight. When you want to hang them up to dry you’ll find a reinforced drying loop just above the waistband.
The ultrasoft lining is breathable, stretchy and treated with an antibacterial finish.
The shorts’ invisible tech blocks invisible UV rays
Just like sunblock, fabric can be rated for its ability to reduce your exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light. The Ultraviolet Protection Factor, or UPF, determines how much more protection your skin would have while wearing that piece of clothing. A UPF rating of 15 for example would give your skin 15x more protection than it would have if it was unprotected. These shorts are so densely knitted that the fabric scores a UPF of 50+ which is the highest possible rating, giving you the highest possible protection.
