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.

Waterproofing: Check membranes, waterproof ratings, and taped seams for full storm protection.
Fit & layering: Slim fits suit running and active use; relaxed fits suit casual wear and layering.
Packability: Down jackets and running shells compress small; heavier rain shells offer maximum protection.

Features: Adjustable hoods, cuffs, pit zips, internal stash pockets, reflective trims — match features to your needs.

Key technologies & features explained

DWR (Durable Water-Repellent): Helps water bead off fabric; reproof when it stops working.
Waterproof membranes: Breathable layers like Gore-Tex and PU membranes block rain but let moisture escape.
Seam sealing: Fully taped seams are critical for genuine waterproofing.
Down fill power: Higher fill power = warmer for less weight. Hydrophobic down improves performance in damp conditions.
Synthetic insulation: Retains warmth when wet, dries quickly, and is easier to care for.
Breathability: Important for active use allows sweat vapour to escape.
Ventilation features: Pit zips, mesh-lined pockets and vents improve comfort during activity.
Adjustability: Drawcord hems and adjustable hoods/cuffs seal out wind and rain.
Fabric durability: Ripstop fabrics and reinforced zones extend jacket life.

Care & maintenance (quick tips)

Wash technical jackets with specialist detergents; avoid fabric softeners.
Reproof rain jackets when water no longer beads.
Store jackets dry and uncompressed.
Wash down jackets gently and tumble dry with dryer balls to restore loft.
Repair rips quickly with patches or brand-approved repair services.
Follow care labels closely to avoid damaging membranes or insulation.
