Check out the best bits from the collection below:

Rover Double-Knee Work Pant ($148)

Built for unrelenting daily abuse, the Rover Double-Knee Work Pant is a full-mettle workhorse engineered to tackle any adventure you throw its way. Forged from an ultra-durable stretch canvas, these rugged trousers feature heavy-duty double-knee reinforcement that easily stands up to punishing backcountry terrain, yet maintains a clean, refined silhouette when it’s time to head back into town for a well-earned pint.

Designed for total mobility, the gusseted crotch, darted seams, and flexible canvas build unlock an uninhibited range of motion whether you are scrambling over boulders or tackling hands-on DIY projects.

Meanwhile, technical moisture-wicking and thermoregulating properties actively draw away sweat and balance heat when the mercury rises. Complete with a versatile six-pocket layout—including a discreet hidden stash pocket for your vital everyday carry gear—the Rover Double-Knee is a rock-solid, all-terrain staple built for the long haul.

Tahr Fleece Jacket ($168)

Drawing inspiration from iconic retro mountaineering gear, the Proof Tahr Jacket is a heavyweight fleece engineered to conquer freezing conditions without dragging you down with unnecessary bulk. Constructed from a custom-developed waffle pile fleece, this versatile mid-layer strikes the ultimate balance between deep thermal retention, rugged durability, and unrestricted mobility.

Thoughtfully detailed for maximum comfort, it features a plush microfleece collar lining and a protective zip garage that traps body heat while preventing chin irritation when fully zipped against biting winds.

Underarm side gussets unlock an uninhibited range of motion whether you are scrambling up steep ascents or hauling gear, while three streamlined zipped pockets—located at the waist and chest—offer secure, quick-access storage for your daily carry essentials. Slung over a tee for city strolls or layered under a hard-shell in the backcountry, the Tahr Jacket is a rock-solid, cold-weather staple built for a life in motion.

ShadowFleece™ Quarter Zip ($158)

Powered by Polartec® Alpha™ Direct—an open-mesh active insulation originally developed for U.S. Special Forces—the ShadowFleece™ Quarter Zip introduces a whole new class of ultra-lightweight performance layering.

Weighing in at a featherlight 85gsm (roughly half the weight of your average cotton t-shirt), this high-tech mid-layer delivers an extraordinary warmth-to-weight ratio, utilizing a specialised lofted fleece structure engineered to dump excess heat and perspiration the moment you start moving, then instantly trap body heat as soon as you pause.

Tested and proven by Special Operations Forces evaluation teams—where the fabric earned the highest performance scores ever recorded for breathability, quick-drying power, and durability—ShadowFleece™ effectively does the work of three traditional layers, massively simplifying your kit. Crushing down to the size of a fist without wrinkling, it is lighter and more breathable than wool, making it an indispensable piece of technical performance wear for fast-and-light adventures in any climate.

PatinaTech™ Hoodie ($148)

Combining lived-in retro softness with cutting-edge technical performance, this hoodie delivers the ultimate blend of vintage aesthetic and active functionality. The secret behind its sun-faded look lies in custom-developed PatinaTech™ fabric—a high-performance textile that is pigment-dyed to achieve a buttery handfeel and a naturally aged patina right out of the box.

Beneath its heritage-inspired exterior, integrated CoolSoft™ material actively wicks sweat, regulates body temperature, and provides uninhibited stretch when you move, while a plush brushback fleece lining delivers supreme, cosy warmth against the skin.

Fully capable of crushing gruelling gym workouts yet looking effortlessly stylish paired with your favourite stretch selvedge denim, this technical hoodie bridges the gap between active training gear and daily urban wear.
