After losing the father of a friend to hypothermia, due to being forced to sleep outside of a shelter, Bas Timmer decided that something had to be done. At the time Bas had started his own outdoor, cold weather clothing line after attending the fashion academy. But it didn’t feel right for him to sell fashionable clothing at a high price, whilst many people couldn’t even afford warm and protective clothing to simply survive. No one deserves the horrible fate of freezing to death because they can’t afford decent protective clothing. We believe everyone deserves warmth, protection and dignity. That is why we design and manufacture multifunctional products that provide immediate shelter to people experiencing homelessness. This is not a replacement for finding a home but a supplement to when you have no other choice. The Sheltersuit is a wind and waterproof jacket with an optional sleeping bag attachment to provide immediate shelter.
