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.

A good basic pant that fulfill lots of functions- keep sun, wind and sandflies at bay. Quick to dry and easily cleaned

You’ll get up to 10 years wear out these, I bought my first pair of “Taslan” Longs in 2003 back then they had an adjustable elastic corded ankle tie this was good as I’m a little short in the leg and didn’t need to have them trimmed for length. In 2013 I bought a new pair as the previous pants had ceased production and today I ordered 2 more pairs 2023. They have proven themselves over 20 years and I wear these daily in place of denim jeans they are so comfortable, hard wearing & fast drying, I would say without a doubt the best pair of all round casual longs you will buy on the planet. Get some !

I’ve been using these for about six months and they’ve been mint. They’re good to wear on their own in warmer weather and over some thermals during colder months. They’re light, fit well and dry quickly – exactly what I needed, thanks.

AWESOME HIKING PANTS
I’m on my second pair of these. The first pair saw 14 years of casual wear plus regular flogging on hard grade bushwalks. I actually still wear them around at home, but decided it was time for an upgrade. Taslan material is comfortable, tough, light, fast-drying, and surprisingly wind-resistant. Well thought-out, minimalistic design and high quality construction. Full marks.

These pants are bomb proof. Two years wearing them on Fox glacier, 2 seasons guiding in BC Canada and they perform well in a huge variety of conditions, block wind yet breath and dry in an instant. I have a pair I use for hunting/tramping etc and they are the best pants I have ever worn. Great elastic waist for use with a heavy pack on. Super light for long trips.They seem to last for ever! Keep up the good work guy

I’ve had a couple of pairs of Taslan Longs for a long time, one pair being purple is the giveaway – could be originals! They got ripped on a rubbish run last summer and the blue pair looked faded out so I took an opportunity to grab a couple of new pairs – black and navy. These pants really are super-light and easy maintenance. We went to Europe for seven weeks, I took them both and a pair of jeans – hardly wore the jeans because the Taslans are so versatile – from hiking in the Montenegro mountains of Durmitor National Park to formal dinners on the Hurtigruten Ferry (it was midnight sun at 70 degrees North latitude so not too cold around the Norwegian coastline). They’ve got two good deep pockets, plus the litte side pocket with a zip, just right for keeping keys, loose change or even golf tees

The Taslan Glacier Pants kept me cool on the glacier, cut the wind on reconnaissance climbs and were brilliant around camp (and even around town). They are super-light, easy to wash and they dry in no time. I even bum-slid down the snow and stayed dry. Brilliant!
