Home to some of the hottest and most humid places on the planet, the equator carves through dense tropical jungles, warm seas, and crowded cities. Instead of seasons or temperature changes you’re more likely to be hit by a wall of heat, sun, rain and humidity. But as global temperatures rise and climate zones shift, designing clothing for the equator is like designing for our future.

So the Equator Jacket is built to keep you comfortable in all 40,000km of one of the most extreme environments we currently inhabit and one that’s set to grow. The jacket starts with one of the lightest and softest materials on the planet – a rare, silk-like cotton that’s only found in the Nile Delta and only grows in the years when the rain, soil and wind conditions are perfect.

Lightweight and elastic, the Equator Jacket dries fast after downpours and humidity and is engineered with an advanced ventilation system built with 228 laser-cut vents in the pockets and another 12 vents across the back and chest. It’s blended with ultrafine nylon and elastane for softness, durability and stretch, and it’s designed to work with our  as an ultra lightweight travel suit to keep you cool in the heat.
