The second iteration of our waterproof hardshell jacket designed specifically for active photographers in collaboration with Leica.
The brief was to perform impeccably both in the field and back home – a lecture at the RGS, perhaps, then dinner at the Dorchester. Since Hurley’s images cemented the Shackleton legend in the public consciousness, we’d only ever use his name on a jacket we’re convinced he’d choose for himself. This second iteration hits that mark even more soundly than its sold-out predecessor.
On a long shoot, you need to move freely with all equipment catered for. You need it all to stay dry, from outside and within. The fully sealed seams and Aquaguard zippers help attain an exemplary waterproof rating, while comfort is handled by a top breathability score and the fabric’s mechanical stretch. Reinforced panels bring extra strength in the right places and there are dedicated pockets for everything, the outer ones microfleece-lined. The insulated battery pocket keeps batteries warm, the lens and glove pockets have hooks and we’ve even added a branded lens cloth that retracts automatically. There’s a stowaway hood. We could go on.
As a standalone Hurley works best at around 5 to 15 degrees, so we’ve left ample room for layering.
