New For 2018: 3rd Generation Nature-Like™ Nylon!

Our Most Advanced Fabric Yet - Baby Soft, Breathable, Comfortable, Water Resistant & Wearable in All Four Seasons.

These are the characteristics of our signature Nature-Like™ Nylon material made specifically for us by one of the world's largest Nylon manufacturers. First released four years ago, our fabric changed the game for established travelwear. This new type of fiber allows you to experience the travel benefits of 100% Nylon (light-weight, quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant ), with all the benefits of Cotton (comfort, styl, moisture-wicking). Released to our site in 2013, nearly 90,000 pants are walking the world made from this type of fabric!

We are excited to announce the release of our 3rd Generation Nature-Like™ Nylon today! More breathable, comfortable, and durable, all new deliveries of our Pick-Pocket Proof Pants will feature this fabric.

Two years ago, we set out to redefine the material used in our travelwear once again! Already best in class, our designers have succeeded in improving all characteristics that make our technical fabric feel and wear just like cotton pants. Plus we have selected the newest, environmentally friendly water repellant to prevent spills and stains while traveling. Our 2018 Nature-Like Nylon features an advanced PFC Free Eco-conscious (DWR) Durable Water Repellant Finish! We have made the fabric, more breathable, more comfortable, and decreased its environmental footprint!

Join us on tour of how the fabric is made:

The Verdict Is In: "The Pants Worked," Says Publication SmarterTravel!

SmarterTravel tested a pair of our Pick-Pocket Proof Pants and their verdict... "The pants worked. I wasn’t pickpocketed on a recent Eastern Mediterranean trip."

Check out our favorite quote below:

"Wandering the narrow, cobbled streets and open squares of one Mediterranean city, I noticed a man who could have been a thief — the greedy looking type with a gold tooth and moist eyes. I think he ogled the pants, with their button-secured flaps hiding deep zipper pockets, and secret zipper pockets within zipper pockets, and thought better. You can’t burgle a walking money belt."

New Zealand Herald Review Our Cubed Travel Jacket!

Winston Aldworth, editor of the New Zealand Herald, reviewed our Cubed Travel Jacket and loved the multitude of pockets. Check out our favorite quotes below:

"Pockets are the key. This jacket has, at my rough estimate, about 186 different discrete pockets, which addresses one of the core concerns of modern urban explorers: how do I carry all this crap around and not look like a training centre for aspiring young muggers?"

"I feel smart wearing mine and happy knowing there's a slot for my passport, a pocket for my phone, one for a fistful of the local currency and another for the train card I'm always whipping out."
