Nomad Puffer Pants
Based on the earliest known Arctic clothing, they’re engineered to work like a second skin.
- Designed to recreate the earliest Arctic clothing
- Insulated and water repellent
- The pants are garment dyed for softness
We’ve spent more than 99% of our time on Earth as nomads. For over 2 million years we migrated across arctic tundra, grasslands and deserts, only carrying what we needed, only keeping what was necessary, and only using the things we had to hand.
Today the last remaining nomads roam the planet. Masters of surviving in harsh and fast-changing environments, they know what it takes to work with nature and leave no trace. So while the rest of the world remains underprepared for Earth’s increasingly volatile climate, nomads have always been ready.
Our Nomad Puffer Pants are built for the times where all you have are the clothes you have on, and every piece of gear has to work across multiple climates and terrain. Designed to recreate the feeling and performance of the original seal skin clothing worn by Arctic nomads, they’re engineered to work like a second skin, protecting you from the wind, cold and rain.
Technical Details

Wear them just like regular winter sweatpants
The pants are designed for comfort and practicality, just like any pair of sweatpants. They have a loose relaxed feel, and three pockets for carrying extra gear. There are two deep side pockets, and another rear pocket on the right hand side with a concealed vertical zipper. There’s a zipped front fly, an elasticated waistband with a drawcord, and stretch cuffs that slip over your feet.



Nomads know what it takes to survive
For the last 45,000 years, some of the toughest nomads on the planet have been carving out their existence in the snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures of the Arctic Circle. So when we set out to make cold weather gear for unpredictable places, we decided to start with what they’d already learnt. Nomads in the Arctic Circle used what they had around them to make some of the softest clothes ever built – they wore clothing built from seal intestines to keep them dry, and clothing created out of seal skin to stay warm. Even by today’s standards they’re some of the most innovative pieces of gear humans have ever created.


Early Arctic rain clothing was made from seal guts
Rain jackets made from seal intestines were used across the Arctic because of their natural water repellency. The intestines would be dried out in long strips, before being sewn together into jackets using sinew thread. They were worn for hunting on land in wet weather and travelling by kayak. But while they were effective at keeping out the rain, they weren’t massively durable. Hunters would go through two or three of them a year.
