Vollebak in the Wild

Back in 2024 the Vollebak team issued the following challenge (see the email below) Tomorrow I will be attempting to pull it off with some buddies of mine. Although I won’t have the future suit, I will be wearing full Vollebak. Planet earth hat, planet earth ultralight shirt and V1 planet earth pants.

We will be hiking the La Luz trail ( La Luz Trail #137 on AllTrails
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-mexico/la-luz-trail?sh=fbq6dm&u=m&utm\_medium=trail\_share&utm\_source=alltrails\_virality )

and dining at 10-3 at the top ( https://ten3tram.com )



There’s no shortage of ‘unspoken rules’ or ‘secret tricks’ to a good suit. But we only get interested in a suit once we know we could also run up and down a mountain in it… before wearing it out to dinner. So that’s our next plan.


Two weeks ago we launched The Future Suit – an ultra-modern, weatherproof take on what we used to call a suit.
 
Designed to work everywhere from a plane, to a boardroom, to a mountain, to a night out, the Future Suit Jacket and Future Suit Pants are made from high performance Merino that we’ve transformed into a smooth, high tech material – so it doesn’t look or feel like any wool suit you’ve seen before.  
 
So the obvious next step is to see how it does when you run up and down a mountain in it… then wear it straight out to dinner.
 
If you have a favourite mountain, or there’s a particularly cool one near you that you think we should consider please let us know… ideally there’s also a great restaurant right at the bottom of it so we can run straight to our table.
 
Or, if you really like running and eating, you can apply to be our guinea pig / mountain goat.
 
The suit retains and enhances all the high-performance properties of Merino – it can stand in the rain for half an hour before it even feels damp, it’s 5x more windproof than normal Merino, it’s breathable, it kills bacteria, and it regulates your temperature – but it comes in a streamlined, minimalist design.

The Spaceshop has officially announced its next location. Landing in London May 15-17th. Highly recommended to check this out. These images are from the Copenhagen trip. The Shop itself is built into this awesome Spacecraft and there will be at least one new jacket for everyone to checkout.
