Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is one of the toughest materials ever engineered many times stronger than steel but so light it floats on water. With molecular chains 10x longer than standard polyethylene, UHMWPE is used where failure isnt an option in ballistic armour, space tethers, deep sea cables, and the joints of the human body. Thats why its trusted in war zones, industrial machines, spacecraft, and now our Ultra High Molecular Weight Pants.

Each pair of our pants is woven with a protective grid built with two types of UHMWPE, a material technology originally designed to protect elite cyclists against high-speed crashes on tarmac. It means the pants are super light but highly resistant to rips and abrasion, scoring up to 300% higher on tear resistance tests compared to similar materials.

At the same time as being ultrastrong and ultralight, the pants are also ultra elastic as theyre built with an enormous 31% elastane, which gives them extreme four-way stretch in every direction simultaneously. They also repel water using fluorocarbon-free technology, come with four concealed zip pockets, a high-speed bungee pullcord, and blend in anywhere from the trail to a long-haul flight to the office.
