Arctic-Ready Outdoor Collections
Vollebak's Titan Collection Features a NASA-Developed Fabric
The Titan Collection will certainly put Vollebak on the map as it is one of the most high-performance capsules the label has released to date. This range of outerwear clothing is crafted for "placer colder than Earth" and as such, is suitable for Arctic expeditions. Vollebak maintains that the Titan Collection is tested and "designed to withstand up to -100°C in a liquid nitrogen chamber." This, of course, is not only possible through smart design but also through the use of a special space parachute fabric developed by NASA and military materials developed by the British Special Forces. The puffers—from the pants to the jacket—are offered in alluring colorways and are stylish, which can add to the appeal depending on where one's priorities lie. The insulation for the Titan Collection is made with recycled plastic bottles.
