It also marks 65 years of family Polar clothing design. The D480 design is influenced by the Robert Lawrie design anorak issued to the Trans-Antarctic Expedition team led by Sir Edmund Hillary that reached the South Pole by tractor in 1958.
Pullover jacket that is windproof with generous pockets for storing everything from hats, gloves and dog leads to ski skins. The jacket is not waterproof but will provide protection from light showers.

Our Story
Earth Sea Sky was formed in December 1990 when David teamed up with clothing designer, Sydney Mulligan. Between them they had more than 25 years experience in New Zealand’s outdoor clothing industry. This experience in design, production and sales was used to fill a growing need in the market for outdoor clothing that combined comfort, style and performance. David and Sydney introduced designs and colours that linked function and performance with great fit, attention to detail and fashion. Their first range of 20 garments included tramping jackets, oilskins, waterproof ski wear, 60/40 anorak windshells and Polartec thermal fleeces.
Since then, most of New Zealand’s outdoor clothing brands have taken their production offshore. Earth Sea Sky is committed to remaining New Zealand made. The Ellis family believes this is vital in maintaining the brand’s consistent quality and uniqueness.
Rod Dickson –
The TAE D480 Anorak is of outstanding quality, and the attention to detail is something else. A very well made product with an authentic connection to New Zealand’s history in Antarctica. Something to be worn with pride, indeed. A collector’s item, for sure.
