With an atomic structure stronger than steel, carbon fibre is normally used to reinforce components in missiles, jet engines and the world’s fastest cars. Which is why objects made out of carbon fibre don’t normally stretch like an elastic band. But our Carbon Fibre Jacket does.
We start by engineering 180 metres of carbon fibre filaments into spirals, before wrapping them around an elastane core. Together they work like high-strength springs, expanding and compressing as the jacket stretches and moves. Woven into a visible grid structure, the carbon fibre acts as a ripstop that adds tensile strength and abrasion resistance to a jacket that’s already highly elastic, lightweight and water repellent. And its minimalist track jacket shape makes it versatile in any season.
