Black Capsule

Navitas unveil their second line of premium outdoor garms, and this time they’ve got real technical and detailed…

For sometime now, angling clothing Gods Navitas have been keeping a secret from us: a second line of truly amazing technical garments which walk the streetwear, outdoor and action sport path. It’s called ‘Navitas Outdoors’ and with its collections now in the outdoor retailers stores, the angling branch of the brand wanted to use this tech to create a collection that gives us anglers a small but concise capsule that links the two sides of the Navitas brand together. It’s called ‘Black Capsule’, includes fully technical outerwear to detailed softwear, and will be available from next spring through a very small number of the brand’s premium dealers. Here’s what to expect…

Sycamore Jacket

For us, the Sycamore Jacket is the hero piece of the collection and draws on the practicalities and functionality of Navitas Outdoors’s DNA: a classic technical shell jacket but comes drenched in a simply stunning rich black, making it wearable whether you’re on the bank, shopping with the missus or in the pub.

Made from a doubled lined yet super lightweight rip-stop nylon Taslon with a TPU inner lining, it’s rated 10K/
10K for waterproof and breathability and features taped seams throughout, pit zips which like the main zip are waterproof, 3D adjustable peaked hood, subtle detailing and comes cut in a modern fit. Available in sizes S to 2XL.

“GIMME”: £119.99

Alder Gilet

There have been many Gilets (or as many pronounce it “Gill-Let”) in the past, but none like this. The Alder is clean and simple but as with many of the key pieces in the Outdoors collections, it’s all in the detail. It features two outer zipped pockets which are fleece-lined, an internal pocket along with being water-resisistant/showerproof and packed with 120g of top-quality insulation. Leather embossed and die-cut metal logos on the front and back shoulder, along with leather zip pull and zip baffle chin guard completed the detailing. Now wipe away that bit of drool in the corner of your mouth. Sizes: S-2XL.
