Highlights
Performance meets sustainability in ExOfficio's new Canopy Trench for men and Tempest Trench for women. Ideally named, these lightweight and easy to pack pieces will keep you dry and comfortable even through the most torrential downpour.
In an effort to make eco-conscious products that still have superior performance properties, ExOfficio has designed the Canopy Trench and Tempest Trench with Eco-Poly; a super lightweight 100% recycled polyester that has been recycled through the ECO CIRCLE™ process. This environmentally friendly process reduces energy and carbon dioxide emissions by one-fifth versus traditional methods.
The Canopy Trench ($220 SRP) features a waterproof/windproof/breathable laminate membrane construction with fully sealed seams for protection against the elements, and a Teflon® coating for stain resistance. The extremely lightweight and sleek design offers a number of travel-related performance features such as welded-on sleeve and chest zipper pockets, waist cinch, adjustable sleeve tabs, removable hood and a two-way zip with snap placket. The Canopy Trench is available in navy and black.
The Tempest Trench ($220 SRP) for women offers all the same construction features as the Canopy Trench, but designed with contoured lines for a feminine fit. The Tempest Trench is available in light marine, sand and black.
Also new for Spring 2008 is the Latitude Soft Shell ($175 SRP) -- an easy to pack, travel-friendly jacket for men and women constructed of Latitude Stretch (78% polyester/16% PU/6% spandex). The Latitude Soft Shell features welded on sleeve and chest zipper pockets, hem cinch, adjustable sleeve tabs, drop-in interior pockets, removable hood and two-way front zip with snap placket. It also has a stain resisting Teflon® coating. Colors for men include dark charcoal and black. Colors offered for women are palm and black.
ExOfficio's Barometric Trench for men and women (Men's: $180 SRP/Women's: $170) is the perfect performance travel piece. With its urban-inspired styling and weather proofing properties, the Barometric Trench will keep you comfortable and looking sharp whether you are roaming the rainy streets of London, or enjoying a chilly evening concert in a Parisian park.
The Barometric Trench is made of Barometric Micro-Twill polyester fabric that has a soft plush surface. It is fully seam-sealed and features a dot-laminate waterproof/breathable membrane construction providing high performance with exceptional drape. The garment also features a stain resisting Teflon® coating.
Design details of both men's and women's Barometric Trench include security-zip™ chest pockets with internal earphone cord exit, welded-in security-zip™ sleeve pocket, removable hood, and two-way front zip with snap placket. Colors offered are black for men; and bone and black for women.
