• The Indestructible Jacket is the toughest utility jacket on Earth

    Since the birth of the denim jacket in 1880, rugged and lightweight utility jackets have been used to protect people carrying out the toughest jobs in the toughest places. After denim became the default uniform for cowboys, miners and labourers, it was followed by the leather bomber jacket built for fighter pilots in open cockpits at 25,000ft. We’ve now taken the principle of a utility jacket – a rugged, long-lasting design that can be worn anywhere and for almost anything – and rebuilt it with the strongest material in the world.

If you’re into chemistry, Dyneema is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that combines extreme strength with very low weight – on a weight for weight basis it’s up to 15x stronger than steel and 40% stronger than high-strength aramid fibres. If you’re into staying alive, it’s used to keep your body in one piece.

A lightweight, stretchy hoodie that can withstand 75kmph falls

On a weight for weight basis Dyneema is up to 15x stronger than steel, which means that the Indestructible Hoodie is designed for one thing – pure strength. While the hoodie is just 1 millimetre thick, it’s highly resistant to abrasion and tearing and can withstand a 75kmph fall and drag on concrete. It’s also got extreme 4 way stretch. So it’s not really like any hoodie that’s been made before. Engineered with concealed side pockets, a two-way front zipper and reinforced heavy-duty stitching, you can also wear it as one of the toughest jackets on Earth.

  • Meet the toughest puffer jacket ever created

    The Indestructible Puffer is very different to a lightweight packable down jacket, in the same way that climbing into a tank is different from climbing into a car. It’s not going to rip apart after a year or two, or start leaking feathers, and you won’t want to try and pack it away into its own pocket because it will fight you. This is built for the hardest challenges in the toughest places, which is why it weighs 2,000 grams and is built to keep you warm at -40°C.

  • The colder it gets the stronger it gets

    The colder Dyneema gets the stronger it gets, which is why it’s used to make the mooring lines on giant ships and deep-water oil rigs that have to perform in freezing seas. A mooring line on a winch buried under heavy ice on a ship sailing in extreme conditions simply can’t fail. As the temperature drops down to -50°C the Dyneema ropes gain 5-10% strength. Projections show that the rope would gain even more strength if it dropped to -150°C. And it doesn’t just get stronger, it also loses no strength in relation to abrasion resistance or cutting.

  • Dyneema has tethered satellites and pulled up shipwrecks

    Instead of using traditional jacket materials like denim or leather, we’ve built our jacket from the same material that was used to make the ropes that pulled up the Concordia cruise ship when it sank. It’s also the material that was used to create a 30km long tether designed to pull a capsule back down from space – despite reaching space it weighed just 5.5kg and only needed to be 0.5mm thick. And it’s the same material being used to create 1 centimetre thick tsunami barriers to stop 20 metre waves.

  • Why you may not have heard of Dyneema before

    The reputations of materials are created over decades of exposure, heavy marketing spend, or moments in history like the Nylon riots in 1945 that created brand recognition overnight. Dyneema has had none of these things. But there’s a difference between how well something performs and how well known it is, and sometimes the best things are secret. Whether it’s famous or not, this is currently the strongest fibre on Earth that you can build a piece of clothing out of.

  • Earth never reaches Dyneema’s melting point

    Dyneema’s melting point is a subject of discussion online as it’s lower than the polyester used in most clothing today, and also the aramid fibres used in military gear. But to put it in context we’d have to return to the Hadean period of Earth around 4.5 billion years ago to find air temperatures that would melt it. The melting point of Dyneema is around 130°C, which is 73 degrees above the hottest air temperature ever recorded on Earth of 56.7°C in Death Valley, California.

Our Indestructible Hat adds magnetic storm flaps and a waterproof membrane

The first trapper hats appeared in the Arctic Circle around 500 years ago. And they’ve been helping really tough people feel a bit less cold ever since – from Scandinavian explorers to Siberian hunters. Constructed with magnetic storm flaps, a waterproof membrane, a Polartec fleece lining, and an outer layer which gets stronger as it gets colder, the Indestructible Hat is designed to see you through winter anywhere on Earth.
