What we stock
- Casual Jackets | Everyday outerwear that blends style with practicality. Casual jackets are ideal for commuting, travel and weekend wear, offering lightweight warmth and versatile designs that move easily between city and outdoors.
- Down & Insulated Jackets | Stay warm in cold conditions with high-loft down or synthetic insulated jackets. Down provides unbeatable warmth-to-weight and compressibility, while synthetic insulation performs better in wet or damp weather. Perfect for tramping, camping or chilly mornings.
- Fleece Jackets | Soft, breathable midlayers that trap warmth without bulk. Fleece is quick-drying, lightweight and perfect under a shell jacket or on its own during cooler days. A reliable choice for hiking, casual wear or layering systems.
- Rain Jackets | Fully waterproof shells engineered for New Zealand’s wettest days. With breathable membranes, taped seams and DWR finishes, rain jackets keep you dry whether you’re hiking, fishing, camping or walking to work in heavy rain.
- Running Jackets | Technical jackets designed for movement lightweight, packable and breathable with reflective details. Running jackets shed light rain and block wind while keeping you cool and comfortable during high-output activities.
- Windbreakers | Ultra-light, packable layers designed to block wind chill and shed light drizzle. Windbreakers are versatile for travel, cycling, long runs and carrying as a just-in-case option in your daypack.
