I bought this jacket in 2023 and have worn it around windy, wet Wellington and during challenging tramps in the Tararuas. It kept me warm and snug with just a merino base layer in harsh conditions at 1300+ meters. This jacket performs exceptionally well, and I highly recommend it.

John-Paul Lilburne – July 29, 2017

I FIND THIS A VERY VERSATILE WINTER JACKET . IT PROVIDES ENOUGH WARM IN THE COLD WHEN ACTIVE , WITHOUT CAUSING YOU TO SWEAT . YOU ARE ABLE TO REGULATE TEMPERATURE WITH FULL LENGTH ZIP . MY FAVOURITE JACKET.
My favourite jacket .So many accessible pockets, great for when I was hauling sled in Arctic Sweden … sometimes hard to remember which pocket I put what in. I found the jacket warm enough when hauling in snow storms… stopped the wind, and I didn’t overheat with exerting myself. Having a full length zip allowed me to regulate my temperature easily . I used it in combination with my ECW down jacket (layering ) at -30C in Arctic Greenland , and up on deck with riming ice in Svalbard . Toasty inside . Being identifiable as a Kiwi , proud to wear the NZ flag

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.
