Refining Rainwear
Protected Species is a UK brand founded by Rebecca McElligott. Known for its fluid, four-way stretch, fully waterproof outerwear, Protected Species has refined the Waterproof landscape by never compromising on style, comfort, or high-performance functionality. The brand’s jackets are designed to be worn year-round and feature a host of features: Laser cutting and heat welding technology, removable or detachable hoods and deep security zipped pockets, making them perfect for multi-faceted lifestyles everywhere. Technical performance ratings of 15,000mm/H20 (waterproof) & 15,000mm/24hr (windproof) uniquely blend with timeless, iconic cuts to traverse generations and activities – creating the ultimate versatile wardrobe staple.
The collection is available only in a palette of wearable muted colours. Inspired by nature and offering the antithesis of traditional outdoor colours, the brand has sold over 100,000 jackets world-wide via their own website. The focus has always been on clean aesthetics, timeless appeal and a determination to always maintain the extremely high quality the brand consistently gets mentioned for.
Committed to the fusion of serious functionality and style, Protected Species moves forward with developing other product categories with the same purpose. For the city streets and the quieter parts of the globe, Protected Species weather ready performance moves seamlessly between boardroom and mountain peak.
