Kit and culture for the grey day

Own the grey day.

Warm, quiet rainwear for the British weather nobody photographs: the 8am drizzle, the school run, and the dog that still needs walking.

First run is small. We make it once enough of you want it.

The Peak hood

Rainwear that remembers your face.

Most rain jackets keep your body dry and leave the rain running down your face and over your glasses. So people wear a cap under the hood. We built the cap into the hood instead.

03 · Turns when you turn

  • A stiffened peak

    Rain runs off the brim and away from your eyes. Glasses stay clear enough to see the pavement.

  • Turns when you turn

    The hood adjusts at the back and crown, so it moves with your head when you check for traffic.

  • Side vision kept

    Cut wide at the cheek so you can still see the cyclist on your left.

Coming later

The Peak first. Then the rest of the grey day.

    Warm layers

    An insulated liner, a fleece and a neck warmer that sit under the shell.

  • Hand in a fabric glove with touchscreen fingertips using a phone in the rain, a waterproof bum bag at the waist

    Kids

    Small Peak jackets for puddles, playgrounds and the walk home.

The dog walk

Forty minutes in the park, rain or not. Deep warm pockets for treats and a phone.

The school run

Smart enough for the gate, dry enough for the wait. Packs into its own pocket at drop-off.

The commute

Walk, bus, platform. Breathable so you are not damp from the inside by the office.
