Model is 6ft 1 / 187cm with a 38 inch / 96cm chest, and wears size Medium.

Weighs just 350 grams
Water and dirt repellent with plant-based nanotechnology
Crease resistant
Two-way stretch with permanent elasticity

The Ultralight Suit Jacket is part of a system of highly technical clothing designed for all climates, environments and occasions. Weighing just 350 grams, this is a jacket engineered to keep you cool in soaring temperatures and is so light and breathable you might forget you're wearing it.

It’s built from a high-performance material precision engineered by Schoeller, one of the world's most advanced textiles labs.

The outside surface uses a plant-based nanotechnology that works like the waxy skin of a leaf.

That means the material repels rain and dirt, dries fast if it does get wet, and breathes in extreme heat. It’s also super stretchy for comfort and manoeuvrability.

Match it with our Ultralight Suit Pants to create the do-anything summer suit.

Part of our Ultralight range

The Ultralight Suit Jacket is part of a system of ultralight, highly technical all-weather clothing designed to take you across every climate, environment and terrain on the surface of Earth. It’s built from a high-performance material, precision engineered by Schoeller to keep you cool in extreme heat and humidity. It also repels water, resists creases and is loaded with elastane for maximum comfort and manoeuvrability.

Built from an ultralight, super breathable performance fabric that repels water and resists creasing.

An elastic core, a tough surround and a soft finish

The material we use in the suit jacket is 93% recycled polyamide and 7% elastane. But this isn’t just polyamide with a bit of stretch thrown in. It’s a core-spun construction, which means there’s an elastane filament running through the centre of every yarn, wrapped in a sheath of high-tenacity recycled polyamide. The elastane core gives the material its stretch and snap-backability. The sheath gives it durability, abrasion resistance and a surface that feels like a natural material rather than a slippery synthetic one.

Water and dirt repellent with plant-based technology

The jacket repels water and dirt using a 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 jacket is made from mimics this natural mechanism to help it shed water and dirt.

Every fibre is wrapped in a plant-based water-repellent finish that works like the waxy skin of a leaf.

Microscopic chains that mimic plant leaves

The material replicates the self-cleaning effect produced by cuticles with microscopic chains wrapped around each individual fibre. These helix structure chains spiral around the fibres to reduce surface tension, forcing water and mud to simply roll off the surface of the jacket. The technology works without using any toxic fluorocarbons while keeping you and the jacket dry and clean at the same time.

Two-way stretch and crease resistance

Because of the core-spun construction, the stretch in this suit jacket isn’t an afterthought, it’s structural. The elastane core gives the fabric permanent two-way elasticity that doesn’t slacken over time. No sagging, bagging, or slowly losing its shape. Polyamide is also naturally crease resistant so you can stuff the suit jacket in the bottom of a bag and it will come out wrinkle-free.

The suit jacket has two-way elasticity and is wrinkle resistant. No sag. No creases.

A crinkle surface engineered to take the heat

Look closely at the material and you’ll see it isn’t smooth. The yarn has an irregular, crepe-like texture created by deliberate thick-thin variations. That crinkled micro-surface creates tiny air gaps that allow heat and moisture to escape in humid conditions.

Stripped back and built for movement

The Ultralight Suit Jacket is built as a stripped-back, unstructured jacket with nothing between you and the fabric. There’s no padding, no lining and no internal scaffolding in the body or sleeves. The shoulder seams are French-seamed for a clean interior finish. The hem and cuffs are turned and bonded rather than stitched, keeping lines clean without adding bulk. The result is a suit jacket that you’ll forget you’re wearing.

Invisible hardware

Every piece of hardware on the suit jacket is designed to disappear. The front closes with three Riri Zero snaps – invisible metal snaps hidden behind the placket – instead of buttons. The two side pockets use concealed zips with matte black pullers, secured with bartacks at each end. The lapel has a clean finish with no topstitching or visible snaps. There are no snaps at the cuff and every detail has been engineered to keep the lines clean.

We replaced buttons with invisible snaps, stitching with bonding, and structure with material science.

Made for travelling light

The suit jacket’s unstructured shape and low weight make it easy to fold and pack down into a travel bag. At the other end of the journey you can simply pull it out, shake it out and throw it on. Polyamide’s natural crease resistance means it won’t look like it spent 12 hours in a carry-on, even when it did.
