ThruDark adds some light and shade to your Summer adventures

Offering a unique and tantalising combination of special ops steez, high performance materials and minimaIist design language ThruDark’s new Summer range is all (trained) killer no filler. Created to be lightweight, breathable and UPF protected, their layering system lends itself particularly well to extreme environments from Amazonian rainforests to sweltering sub-Saharan deserts where the avoidance of dehydration, heatstroke and sunburn is critical. Which is where ThruDark’s Oryon collection comes in particularly useful, having been field tested and validated by the brand’s former UK Special Forces operators whose decades of elite military experience operating in the heat of the Middle East, has given them a unique vantage point on how hot weather clothing should perform under pressure. The range being dominated by stretchy, moisture wicking, UV repellent, breathable and lightweight fabrics such as Polartec Delta and Pertex Equilibrium as well as their own in-house DarkMatr technical material. Adding to this hot weather functionality the Summer range’s use of articulated seams and slanted trouser pockets show thought in practical wear, minimising chafe and binding when hiking or scrambling technical
terrain, alongside rear ventilation on shirts and windproof jackets to enable additional heat dumping. These inspired details that provide optimal sun protection also includes a clever extendable shirt collar that allows for further coverage on the back of the neck, a classic area of sun exposure. Add to this the type of cuts and colour palettes that make this gear imminently wearable in more urban environments too, the ThruDark Summer range also offers a smart option for your next ten man mission to the Mediterranean.
