Care
Vent X
- Warm hand wash for best garment life.
- Use pure soap, we have tested and recommend Lux flakes
- Lux flakes will need to be fully dissolved in hot water before converting it to warm.
- Do not use bleach.
- Rinse well to remove all residues.
- Do not wring. Drip dry in the shade to minimize UV exposure. Do not tumble dry. A cool iron may be used to rejuvenate the exterior DWR* coating.
- Do not dry clean.
Keeping waterproof breathable garments clean will increase their lifespan. During normal wear, dirt, salts, and oils from contact with the skin will accumulate on the inside surface. This will show as a dark stain on the mesh, especially around the neck and hood. If leftover an extended period of time, this may contaminate the laminate or coating and cause irreversible damage to the jacket. To prevent this happening the garment should be washed at least once a year and more often if worn regularly. Hanging up garments in dry well-ventilated areas will prevent mildew from building up on the fabric’s underside. Avoid all contact with solvents and chemicals, accidental contact should be washed off as soon as possible.
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.

Hella tough, and great movement.
The reinforcing around the knees, ankles, and bum make a massive difference, I can’t see myself wearing through these any time soon, but they still feel soft and fit like a glove. the shoulder straps are nice and wide I don’t notice them at all through the day.
My favorite part about these are the full length zips down the side, I can take them on and off easily while staying in my boots. even just for pulling them up to adjust a little.
Just looking through they really have thought of everything. truly a tried and tested piece of work wear that works great for sport. the knees have internal pockets for padding! just can’t flaw them.
I looked for a while for a great strong pair of snow trousers that will take a beating. as tempting as overseas brands were, looking back it’s a no brainer. These smash the competition with how tough they are alone, then there is the great fit, movement, features and it goes on.
