Mars may be the next frontier for human settlement, but it sucks as a ski destination. Our planet is amazing, and we must help protect it!

The “No Skiing on Mars” capsule collection is a collaboration between Protect Our Winters UK (POW) and Planks Clothing. Through sales of this limited collection, made from recycled fabrics, we aim to raise £5000*. This donation will fund POW’s Carbon Literacy program, which is already changing individual’s and business’ carbon consumption for the better.
