We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind.

We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed

The Climate Game — Can you reach net zero?

It's harnessing human competitiveness to explain the major contributors to greenhouse emissions, the actions the world could take to avoid climate catastrophe, and the wider benefits of greener energies.
For serious play and education, set aside 30 to 40 minutes of quiet and uninterrupted time. I thought I was reasonably well-informed about climate breakdown, and while I was quite happy with my result, I was surprised at what I got wrong and how much I still could learn from a simple yet effective game like this.
