In Partnership With Pangaia

The background

If you’re unfamiliar with PANGAIA, here’s a brief history. Founded with the goal of designing an earth-positive business model, PANGAIA has become a leading platform for launching, scaling, and open-sourcing next-generation material science innovations. Acting as an agent for change, every product they create is born from science and purpose – think innovative fabrics and stylish designs that work for everyday wear.

The science

The DNA Recycled Nylon collection is the latest addition to PANGAIA’s repertoire, using repurposed waste materials like fishing nets and industrial plastics to make lightweight, packable and contemporary designs.

The details

The collection includes packable jackets, track pants, and shorts, all designed to protect against the elements while looking cool. The cuts and finer details like drawstring cuffs and oversized hoods have a definite ’90s feel to them.

The colourways

The pieces are available in both men’s and women’s sizes and come in two colourways – a classic chic black or the slightly more statement, retro-feel teal shades.

These are pieces that will protect you from the elements on your next country hike or keep you dry on a cycling commute in central London.

The purpose

As with all PANGAIA designs, the goal is to merge cutting-edge material science with minimalist modern design and functionality, The brand has nailed it in this instance. These are pieces that will protect you from the wind and rain on your next country hike or keep you dry on a cycling commute in central London. Plus, everything is so lightweight, it can be packed up into the packable bags each piece comes with, for on-the-go ease or a space-saving travel piece.

How to style

Go full tracksuit for a statement look or mix and match each piece for a playful aesthetic. We love the cropped jacket paired with boxer-style shorts, a vest and ribbed sports socks; or the tracksuit bottoms given smarter appeal.
