Waterfallproof Jacket
Ultra-technical, waterproof, breathable, and built with Swiss material technology.
- Outer material engineered with self-drying nanotechnology
- Built with an intelligent waterproof membrane
- Fitted with a watertight chest pocket
As we face life on Earth with new categories of weather, we’re going to need new categories of clothing. With extreme weather events on the rise for the last 40 years, and floods and fires sweeping across cities and states, “waterproof” is not enough. The megastorms are coming. Describing it as raining doesn’t quite cut it when you see houses and cars floating down the road. So we’ve started working on clothing designed for a world of ultraviolent weather – a world where the sky starts acting more like the ocean, and atmospheric rivers dump tidal waves of water down on towns, cities and villages.
The Waterfallproof Jacket is designed to combat the megastorms of the future, where crazily intense rainfall becomes the norm. Highly waterproof, windproof and breathable, it’s constructed with an advanced 3 layer Swiss material with an intelligent membrane that opens and closes in the heat, and self-drying nanotechnology that mimics a lotus leaf. Fully seam sealed, it comes with a watertight chest pocket that can withstand total immersion in water up to your neck.
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.
