cleverhood uses storm tracking radar for weather-predicting rainwear
cleverhood designs patterns that reflect intensified weather trends linked to climate change.
Cleverhood Stormy and Rover 2.0 Rainwear predict The Weather
Cleverhood, a rainwear brand established in 2010, has introduced the Stormy and Rover 2.0 Rainwear as part of its limited-edition series. The pattern is based on NOAA Doppler radar data, visualizing intensified weather patterns linked to climate change. Designed for both the Raincape and Anorak styles, the print enhances pedestrian and cyclist visibility in traffic-heavy environments.
The Rover 2.0 Rain Cape is offered in four solid colors and a black-and-white Dazzle print, the latter referencing the Razzle Dazzle camouflage used on naval ships during World War I. While originally intended to obscure, in this context the pattern increases wearer visibility for safety in urban conditions.
Rainwear engineered for durability and sustainability
Cleverhood’s rainwear is designed for individuals who walk, cycle, or use public transit, with an emphasis on durability and sustainable materials. All the brand’s garments are waterproof and breathable, treated with a PFAS-free C0 durable water repellent. Functional features include arm snaps to form sleeves, an adjustable hood, thumb loops for cycling, a back wind cinch, high-visibility reflective details, YKK waterproof zippers, and a front pocket that doubles as a self-stowing pouch. Over 5% of all sales are donated to organizations that make streets safer and more inclusive.
