This is no secret Lika name Asks for steep prices. It is true whether the gear in the question is a camera or not, as is evident with a new collaboration between London -based performance apparel and directed exposed exposed brand Sheklton and Lika camera. The Frank Hurley Field Jacket was developed with leika camera and exposedation photographer Levison Wood. The name of the jacket refers to the Australian photographer and adventurer, member of the infamous Shekalton campaign. As we will expect to engage with the name Lika, it comes with a heavy $ 955 value tag.
Shackelton says that waterproofing was the main focus when designing and testing this technical hardshell. As a result, it fully promises waterproof design, thanking three-layer fabric and aquagard zippers to keep the water out of the pocket. It is interesting, however, that they leave the famous (and reliable) on the gor-tex material, especially given the value tag.

Of course, this is not the first time Lika has worked with a clothing company to make a jacket. Back in OctoberA collaboration was announced between the apparel brand Ather and Leika, offering a photographer -friendly details such as the camera battery and SD card holders. This is also the second time Shakelton has collaborated with Lika. Interestingly, both jackets are particularly deficient in red leika circle, which seems that it should bring the price at least slightly less.
Like the Ather Jacket, Frank Hurley Field Jacket provides specific features for photographers, but it is more concentrated on cold and wet weather in this case. This includes cold conditions and insulated battery pockets for the protection of battery life while working in the memory card case pocket. There are large cargo pockets with dual folds for safety and security. A dedicated pocket also contains a branded lens cloth on a retreat string.
“An inspirational Hurley quotes are bonded inside the jacket,” the company says. Picture: Shakelton |
The Ather Jacket was a limited version and sold almost immediately, but the sheklutton Frank Hurley Field Jacket seems to be a more permanent offering. If you are gearing up for a polar campaign of your own (or a trip below the London roads), it can be from your $ 955 Shekalton website,
