Why we made it

Designed for the days we move unimpeded

There is a version of ourselves that only shows up outside. Lighter, breezier, present in the moment. It turns up somewhere between sunrise and when the phone signal drops out, nothing but the winding trail ahead. Our Daylight™ range is built to help amplify that feeling: deliberately light, breathable, and gently protective against all-day sun.

The sun-protective kit we engineered for ourselves

In Australian conditions the story's all too familiar: sun-protective gear left us feeling hot, stiff, and dressed for safari; and breathable, lightweight kit offered no sun protection at all. Nothing looked good enough to take us from ridgeline mornings to cafe afternoons. So we embarked on a 24-month adventure to turn our wish list into a check list for our Daylight™ range.

The fabric test was simple, yet brutal: if we wouldn't choose to put it on in peak summer conditions, it was a fail. After months of rejecting fabric after fabric, in the middle ground between sun-protection and lightness we found a sweet spot. For tees and sun hoodies this sits at UPF34, which in Australia is labelled UPF30+. For button-down shirts, shorts, pants, and dresses we landed at UPF50+, because that's what you need during the longest days chasing the sun.

Tested in the terrains where we love to linger longest

The samples went everywhere we did, from Victorian High Country snowgrass to South Island New Zealand's changeable conditions and harsh UV glare. Overnighters, multi-day walks, and a heap of packrafting, which is a fine way to find out how a fabric dries. Then came the ultimate test: the Cooloola hike in peak Queensland summer, hot, humid, and blazing sunshine. We didn't overheat, everything felt breezy, and we stayed protected.

We could finally say, "Yep, I want to wear these again and again". They felt that good to pull on.

Men's Daylight™ Pants

There's technical pants, then there's active pants. But with Daylight™ Pants we wanted a lightweight UPF50+ option that can take you from an early morning flight to an afternoon hike. Plus they needed to stay comfy for long hours on your feet. At 218 grams in a men's M, the stretch-woven fabric nails the first part of the brief. Darted knees and a high waistband allow these pants to move with you, with zero pinching or digging in. The zippered pocket is a nice touch for travel, your small valuables are safe while you explore unfamiliar surrounds.

So, that's the story behind Daylight™. Kit that's light on purpose, made by two people who wanted to stay out a bit longer. We hope it does the same for you.
