Prolite® Stretch
Our Prolite® range is about light, comfortable, easy care travel wear.
Prolite® fabric uses a specialised nylon yarn with a “soft cotton touch” which transfers moisture from the skin to keep you comfortable and dry no matter how hot or humid the conditions. The same technology ensures Prolite® dries quickly by spreading the moisture over the widest possible surface area. Cotton or other nylon and polyester fabrics with water-repellent treatments cannot replicate this performance.
Prolite® requires no ironing. After washing creases and wrinkles quickly drop out with wearing. The Fabric contains a UV inhibitor to improve the sun protection factor and the latest nanotechnology to enhance moisture transferring and odour repelling properties.
Prolite® Trousers, Shorts and Skirts use a heavier 140g/m², UPF* 70, stretch fabric. A 6% lycra® content gives you uninhibited freedom and comfort. We have also found from experience the lycra® stabilises the nylon and prevents any uncomfortable static cling. We are now using a new DTY nylon (Draw Texture Yarn) to improve the fabrics pill and abrasion resistance properties.
All the trousers have non pleated flat fronts. The Convertible Trousers have an elastic insert in the waist-band and the Nova, ¾ Nova and Capri pants have adjustable Velcro hip tabs.
The Trouser range is divided by two different design styles, Trousers and Convertibles have a classic high rise (waist fitting) and the Jeans, Capri’s and Nova’s have a more contemporary lower rise (hip fitting). The new Straights have a lower rise and a narrower leg.
All pocket linings use Prolite® fabric to ensure the garment’s overall drying and moisture transfer properties are not compromised. All the trouser styles have either a zip-up passport size pocket on the outside leg or on the inside of the right pocket. The waistbands are finished with bar-tacked belt loops wide enough for 40mm belts.
Prolite® Travel Wear is a durable, easy-care, high performance range, designed to take you to the ends of the earth in comfort and style

JUST INCREDIBLE!!!
After quite a few months of very regular wear walking, cycling and around the house, this skirt still looks new. I love how it adjusts with my body or under layers. It gives you all the freedom to move you want or need and looks just gorgeous. The fabric has a beautiful slight stretch and shimmer and it even has a pocket with one open and one sip compartment. I love it and my husband loves it on me.

I have worn Prolite Wrap skirts for hiking since 2012. All my trekking is off-track in the rugged Kimberley region of Western Australia. The skirt allows me incredible freedom of movement to scale cliffs and swim across rivers, while keeping me cool in temperatures that range from 30 – 45 degrees. Unlike most man-made materials, Prolite doesn’t break down prematurely in this fierce heat. It’s incredibly robust and doesn’t tear when I snag my skirt on the vegetation or bum-slide down a scree slope. It’s the most durable piece of outdoor clothing I own. Thank you for creating something that lasts so well and which is perfectly suited to my needs.

Delighted with this skirt. The fabric is lightweight & easy to pack but also durable. It looks nice enough to wear around town, even though I bought it for tramping. The adjustable waist is fantastic – I wish all skirts had that! And the icing on the cake is knowing I’ve bought a high quality, made-in-NZ product. Brilliant service too – less than 24 hours from ordering online to delivery in Hamilton. Amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the product and the service. Well done ESS.
