Dark Hollow | Dion Agius
Dark Hollow is a collection of apparel, film and art inspired by Dion’s home state of Tasmania. It’s a project dedicated to generating support for the future of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and un-protected wild places around Tasmania that are threatened. The Dark Hollow capsule features illustrations by LA-based artist Nathan Kostechko – whose artwork takes its inspiration from studies of the skeletons of Tasmanian Devils.

Sustainability
More sustainable fibres and materials mean more durable products that are Low Velocity and have less impact on the environment.
Organic Cotton
Cotton grown with organic agricultural methods uses fewer pesticides than conventional cotton and therefore reduces exposure to toxic chemicals that can end up in the ground, air, water and our food chain. Organic farming can also reduce the pesticide exposure risks for farmers along with cotton and textile workers. For our first Low Velocity range, all cotton stock was sourced from organic yarn and future ranges will carry more explicit certification.
Recycled Polyester
Using recycled polyester fibres made from material like plastic bottles (rPET) instead of virgin polyester, we’re preventing wasteful landfill, saving energy and reducing the need for the primary extraction of crude oil.
Cocotex® Coconut Polyester
COCOTEX® upcycles coconut husks into activated carbon that is then mixed with polyester, creating a fast drying, odour resistant yarn. Over 20 billion coconuts are harvested each year and the majority of their outer husks treated as a waste product. With COCOTEX® we’re using a more sustainable fibre along with avoiding landfill waste.
PFOA-Free Durable Water Repellent
Water and stain repellent coatings help you stay dry and clean, and keep your clothing in good condition for longer. Traditionally Durable Water Repellent (DWR) formulas used potentially toxic Perflourooctanoic acid (PFOA) to produce such coatings, but with the Low Velocity range, we choose to use PFOA-Free formulas avoid these chemicals.
PVC and Phthalate Free Inks
Garment screen printing has traditionally employed PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) based inks. These chemicals can include phthalates which can be harmful to human health. Avoiding their use means safer conditions for workers and safer products all round. Low Velocity product does not contain any PVC or Phthalate-based inks.
YKK Natulon® Recycled Tapings
Made by the established leading zip manufacturer worldwide, YKK, Natulon® zipper tapings use recycled plastic to keep more waste out of our landfills and reduce reliance on sourcing virgin plastics from the oil industry. That’s why we’ve chosen Natulon® as the default zipper tapings on all Low Velocity products. See NATULON for more.
