The Torrent (men’s) is made for multi-day, pack-carrying bushwalks in serious terrain. It’s the longest jacket in One Planet's range, made from rugged, highly waterproof/breathable Synapse® fabric. Built for performance and engineered to keep you dry and warm.
The Torrent’s protection is complemented by its features, which shine when carrying a rucksack: strategically-placed seams, accessible torso pockets and venting zips for dumping heat during intense activity.
The articulated hood allows both vision and protection thanks to its wire brim, face drawcord and rear adjustment. A full-length storm flap shields the water-resistant zip, a chin guard adds comfort, while cinching the waist drawcord allows vital warmth to be retained. An advanced piece of equipment for remote wilderness journeys.

What Is Synapse®?
SYNAPSE® is a performance, three-layer outer shell fabric. Designed for durability and comfort in diverse terrain and weather conditions, when active and at rest. Best suited for bushwalking and alpine sports.
The waterproof, windproof, breathable membrane is laminated between a comfortable micro-weave lining and a robust face fabric coated with a non-PFC DWR.
Highly breathable (ISO 11092) RET: less than 9 m2Pa/W.
Highly waterproof (ISO 811): greater than 20,000 mm.
Articulated Hood
The articulated hood is a welcome retreat when the weather turns bad. The careful design and three-piece pattern ensures excellent face protection in driving wind and rain, while the brim’s strong, shapeable wire creates a veranda for your face. The hood’s structure and natural articulation allows clear sight, with easy adjustments made to the brim positioning using the rear hook-and-loop adjustment, and a drawcord to cinch the hood around your face.
Torso Pockets
The torso pockets are positioned high on the chest so you can still use them when wearing a harness. They’re big enough for maps and other essentials, while neatly holding the contents so they don’t bounce around when you move. The water-resistant zips have tactile pull-tabs, and are protected by double-layer, angled storm flaps to shield from rain, run-off and scrub. Externally-accessed pockets mean your core stays warm, dry and protected.
Storm Flaps
Reliable storm flaps are essential for bushwalking and alpine activities in wild weather and terrain. A storm flap is a physical barrier protecting the water-resistant zips from abrasion and scrub while stopping gusts, dripping moisture and wind-driven rain – particularly important when you’re active and the zip flexes over many back-country adventures! The hook-and-loop closure on the front flap is easy to use (even when wearing bulky gloves) and stays securely closed.
Seams & Seam Sealing
To keep you dry, rainwear needs you be thoughtfully constructed, with tape used to seal all seams. Seams must also be designed for flexibility and movement; their positioning is critical for longevity and pack-carrying comfort. ONE PLANET reduces the number of seams to increase durability and decrease bulk, and strategically positions them off the shoulder, avoiding potential rub points when carrying a pack. All ONE PLANET rainwear garments are cut for freedom of movement, with all seams taped in our Melbourne factory.
Mechanical Venting
Mechanical ventilation increases direct air flow, allowing you to dump heat and keep cool during periods of intense exertion. ONE PLANET® torso vents are located under the same storm flap as the torso pocket, openable with an individual zip pull that allows air to flow inside. This position allows us to use a higher gauge and quality zipper without bulk and irrigation under the arm. During regular activity, keep the vents closed to maintain the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the jacket as this allows Synapse® to manage moisture (breathe).
Melbourne Made
ONE PLANET® 3-layer rainwear is designed for bushwalking and alpine use in the antipodes, and directly informed by local experience. We prioritise function and performance, and include features you’ll appreciate in foul weather. Like Synapse® waterproof, windproof, breathable fabric; the extra length in our jackets. Our designs have adjustable storm hoods, longer sleeves, storm flaps on the zips and clever pockets that work with your pack harness. All our rainwear is also designed, stitched and seam sealed in our Melbourne factory.
