AW26 · Weather System 03
Eight looks shot over three wet weeks on the North Sea coast, in Rotterdam and in Glasgow. No rain machines, no retouched water.
A yellow shell against a grey lake: the only colour for a kilometre.
KS-04 Storm Shell in Beacon · KP-01 Cargo Trouser
The parka in fog, walking home from the first ferry.
KS-07 Field Parka · KN-01 Merino Crew
A long coat, belted, shot against a white wall so the cut is all you see.
KS-04 Storm Shell in Carbon · KP-03 Pleated Chino
05 · What it’s made of
Four cloths, chosen for how they wear in.
40D recycled ripstop
20,000 mm waterproof · 30,000 g breathable
The face of our shells. A ripstop grid stops a tear from running, and it’s light enough to pack.
RWS merino rib
5-gauge · knitted in Porto
Certified wool from farms audited for animal welfare. Warm when damp, and it doesn’t smell after a week of wear.
Waxed cotton canvas
10–16 oz · re-waxable
Plant-based wax on organic cotton. Sheds light rain, marks where you’ve been, and gets better with age.
Organic cotton twill
11 oz · garment dyed
Our trousers and tees. Dyed after sewing, so each piece comes out a slightly different shade.
06 · Seen at 150 m
Headlights find you before the driver does.
A glass-bead print on every shell sends light straight back to its source. In daylight it reads as a quiet grey grid. At night it’s the brightest thing on the road.
07 · Built to be repaired
Five years of free repairs. After that, at cost.
Post it to Rotterdam or drop it at a repair point. The label is on us.
Zips, seam tape, holes and poppers, patched with offcuts of the original cloth.
Within three weeks, washed, re-proofed and ready for the next storm.

How we test a jacket in a rain room
Four hours under 50 mm of rain an hour, a fan at force six and a mannequin that walks. This is how every KESTRUN shell earns its label.

Sixty days on the North Sea coast
We sent three prototypes to a lifeboat volunteer in Zeeland for two months. Here is what came back, and what we changed.

Why we stopped using PFCs
Forever chemicals made rain jackets work for forty years. Our finish does the same job without them. Here is the trade-off, honestly.
