Raw Hemp Sweatshirt
It goes from plant to sweatshirt in the fewest steps possible.
- The sweatshirt is left in its raw, undyed state
- Built with 55% hemp
- Hemp combined with organic cotton for softness
Hemp has been banned by governments, had war declared against it, and been accused of bringing down modern society. But the truth is hemp is one of the most extraordinary plants on Earth. With 4x the durability and 8x the tensile strength of cotton, the Egyptians used it to haul rocks around when they were building the pyramids, and Chinese warlords built their armour from it. Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the New World in 1492 was made possible thanks to the strength of his hemp sails.
From an environmental perspective every tonne of hemp produced removes 1.6 tonnes of CO2 from the air. It requires zero pesticides and very little water to cultivate. And it’s so smart scientists now use it to clean up soil, water and air contaminated with radioactive isotopes after nuclear meltdowns.
As for clothing, the plant’s fibres grow to over 4 metres which makes them incredibly soft yet really strong. It’s breathable, water repellent, antibacterial, UV resistant and biodegradable. So we’re now going back to building clothes out of it in its raw and undyed state.
Planet Earth Ultralight Shell
Combines advanced Swiss tech with extreme weather resistance.
Technical Details
Built from a Swiss supermaterial
The jacket is built from a three layered Swiss supermaterial which allows it to be highly waterproof, windproof and breathable while remaining incredibly lightweight. It’s made up of three microscopically thin layers all of which perform distinct functions. The layers are laminated together with a hotmelt process, where small glue dots are applied through a mesh screen. This step of the process alone requires 3 days for the layers to fully bond.
An intelligent membrane keeps you dry
The middle layer of the jacket is what makes it both highly waterproof and breathable at the same time. Instead of remaining static, Schoeller’s bionic c_change® membrane can open and close to respond to different weather conditions as they happen, while remaining permanently waterproof, windproof and breathable.
Three zipped pockets
The jacket comes with two large side pockets with water resistant zippers covered by storm flaps. You’ll also find a small zipped chest pocket inside the jacket for storing your phone and wallet.
