New for Fall 2017, San Francisco based specialty adventure products company Prometheus Design Werx debuts their EDC Pant in their popular 4-way stretch Guide Cloth. This is their high standard in a performance, technical, plain front, every day wear, utility trail to street pant. The EDC Pant is PDW’s non-cargo pant style with a clean tailored fit, designed for today’s active EDC user in mind. A total of 11 pockets to stash and organize as little or as many EDC items in a streamlined, clean and tailored design. Pocket Clip Docks™ , dual no-twist custom made delta rings for keychain-carabiner clip points and double layer articulated knees round out these pant’s features. Produced with industrial grade triple needle stitching on all major seams. Cut and sewn in California, USA.

The EDC Pant will be an evergreen seasonal style for Prometheus Design Werx. They will be available in their proprietary Guide Cloth in Dark Arid Earth and Wolf Gray.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“We wanted to create a highly versatile and easily worn pant style, that we would wear every day on and off the grid. The single most noted feature of our EDC apparel series is the impressive stretch and comfort of our proprietary Guide Cloth. This is not a mass volume, compromised, lowest common denominator product. No corners were cut, no corporate budgeting committees to answer to, we stuck to the intelligent features we wanted, and custom made the best in class materials to make this pant. You will not find superfluous details or unnecessary affectations in outcome of our design process in crafting these pants. Each feature and component serves a purpose for utility, versatility, movement, and comfort. The industrial grade construction was a bit overkill, but hell, our office is a metal shop. These pants are cut and sewn locally in CA with skilled labor being paid a living wage. The EDC Pant will probably be the most comfortable, good looking, feature rich pant you’ll have in your apparel line up.”

The PDW EDC Pant in Guide Cloth will be available for purchase in two colors on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 12:00 noon PDT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

Prometheus Design Werx introduces the Rapide Field Short 5050RS for the start of the 2017 Summer Season. These are the one wilderness grade, expedition capable, all around outdoor short that will tackle any land-based adventure.

Ultra clean, purpose driven design and styling will confidently take you from trekking to the top of a mountain peak, discovering a mysterious desert ruin, to sharing your tales of adventure with new friends in a hidden tavern. Utterly functional design to industrial work wear grade construction and bespoke tailor level detailing makes these the one field short to rule them all.

These are a best in class, field and utility short for exploring the wilderness, use on expeditions, overlanding to warm weather camping and the workshop.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“We set out to make the finest, modern field and utility short for the discriminating and demanding adventurer. The one outdoor short the user would go back to again and again. The MILSPEC 5050 NYCO is not bulky or too heavy yet is robust and rugged enough to last season after season. The cut suits most body types and the leg hits right above the knee for ease of movement-bending-scrambling on the trail but long enough to use with any climbing and rap harness. Our new horseshoe gusset pattern gives even more range of movement while being active. Like our other CORE-Line apparel styles, the Rapide Field Short is an apex apparel style and uses best in class US production quality. The highest single cost component in the production of this short, is skilled US labor. There are 20 years of performance apparel design study and experience behind these shorts. Followers of our design ethos have been in some of the world’s most wild and dangerous places, and require apparel and goods that perform superbly and can be relied on. We believe we built the finest American field and utility short available today. Overbuilt, packed with functional design details and features, our core customers are men of capability, detail, confidence, and discriminating taste who understand what goes into our goods. The outcome of this design created a clean styling that is easily paired with a tee, flannel or technical fleece. To our amusement, we’ve even had numerous bespoke suit tailors comment how impressed they have been with our functional apparel styles. These shorts are intended to be the one all-rounder style that can be used over and over for the field, for adventure, for expeditions, chaotic travel to street and warm weather work wear.”

This spring, PDW introduces their DRB Staff Edition AR Hoodie. Based on and inspired by the classic, American, full zip, athletic hoodie, their version has been updated with technical and performance Polartec WindPro 9504 polyester fleece w/DWR. The fit is a modern silhouette, streamlined, with engineered patterning for unrestricted movement. The classic styling behind this hoodie is good to wear pretty much anywhere and is “A.lways R.eady”. Small details such as loop swatches on the sleeves, built in dummy cord keepers, thumbhole cuffs, full wind flap, 2-way main zipper, and their signature MLH (Major League Hood) design, rounds of this hoodie. From basecamp, to the gym, after a session in the NorCal Pacific, or street the AR Hoodie has got you covered.

The AR Hoodie DRB Staff Edition is a part of their Built in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx. Available in S.L. Black.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“Many of us often live in the classic American style full zip athletic hoodie for everyday wear. We wear versions of this hoodie in our workshop and the office almost everyday. While from a distance this hoodie looks like your classic full zip hoodie, it’s the engineered pattern making for unrestricted movement, high performance-technical Polartec WindPro fleece, and the numerous functional designs details which makes our take of the classically styled hoodie stand out for the user. The DRB Staff Edition features loop swatches on each sleeve for morale patches and handy for us a trade shows or events. The AR Hoodie is exceptionally comfortable and dare we say even cozy, by virtue of the wetsuit style flatlock seams which are smooth and flat, and the best in class Polartec fleece material. When creating this style, we wanted an everyday wear mid-layer which could be easily worn around town, before and after a workout, emerging after a chilly session in our NorCal Pacific waters, and still hold it’s own at a wilderness basecamp to inside Outpost 31. The modern tailored cut of this hoodie mirrors the most popular heavy weight cotton styles out there these days, is perfect over a tee shirt or long sleeve base-layer, and the streamlined silhouette fits perfectly under our Solo Jacket and most technical style shells. We also proud to say that we build these locally in San Francisco. This is going to be a full zip hoodie you’re going to live in.”

The AR Hoodie DRB Staff Edition will be available for purchase for $149.00 on Wednesday, APR 5, 2017 at 1:00pm PDT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
