Pajak x Lange & Lange present a limited collection of down clothing and accessories. The inspiration behind the collection's modular sleeve and leg connections was the astronauts' jumpsuits.

Both companies, Pajak and Lange & Lange, come from family traditions and share a common passion for design and love for the mountains. The goal of both brands was to introduce technological (high-performance) clothing into urban spaces, known as "hikecore" style. Outdoor aesthetics, once reserved only for professionals, have now become one of the most important topics in the fashion world.

The collaboration of both companies aimed at personalization, which would ensure maintaining thermal comfort in selected body parts. Detaching or attaching sleeves or leg sections provides the possibility of adapting and adjusting the clothing to changing weather conditions and various sports activities. To distinguish the sides of the connections for each element (left/right), the designers introduced color-coded zipper markings, just like in astronauts' jumpsuits.

The Pajak x Lange & Lange project combines the latest technologies, such as super lightweight Japanese fabrics, with classic solutions using Polish goose down.

- The assumptions in creating the collection were functionality, compactness, lightness, and good thermal comfort for the wearer," says Wojciech Pająk, the managing director of the Pajak brand.

The entire collection is available online since October 2021 at www.pajaksport.pl
