High Fashion Meets High Adventure

Nate Note: An Aktiv customer insisted we look at ELKE NYC. Once we saw how this system handles the rigors of the road without losing its edge, we knew it belonged here.

The Travel Skant Duo is what happens when a New York designer refuses to accept that technical gear has to look like hiking clothes. This patent-pending modular system transforms from draped lightweight harem pants to sculptural skirt to hooded travel blanket—10+ configurations that work equally well at a Berlin gallery opening or sleeping on a 14-hour flight. Fully funded on Kickstarter, produced in Los Angeles, and premiered at NYFW, it's engineered for the traveler who refuses to look like a tourist.

What Makes It Special

The Skant: Silhouette-shifting bottom with elegant crossover front. Transitions from harem-style pant to sculptural skirt in seconds.

The Shrug: Sophisticated jacket layer that transforms into travel blanket, ground cover, or hooded transit layer. Packs into its own pocket via reversible YKK zipper.

The "Vault" Security System:

  • Internal Money Pouch: Hidden zippered pocket sized for two passports and extra cash
  • Two Large Zippered Pockets: Deep enough for largest smartphones and primary passport
  • Integrated Shrug Storage: Doubles as secure phone and key stash when worn
  • Back Slip Pocket: Quick-access spot for receipts and essentials

Technical Performance:

  • Ultralight: Skant weighs just 12 oz; Shrug is 15 oz—entire set fits in a personal item
  • Jewelry-Grade Hardware: Custom antique-copper designer snaps secure every modular connection
  • Technical Fabric: Cozy, breathable nylon/viscose blend that avoids plastic synthetic feel
  • Quick-Dry & Multi-Climate Ready: Works from tropical heat to mountain chill
  • Adjustable Fit: Three snap settings on cuffs fit multiple calf sizes; adjustable sleeves transition from sleek to dramatic flow
  • Made in the USA: Los Angeles production supporting domestic craftsmanship

Perfect For

  • The One-Bag Traveler: Walk off the flight straight into the city—no baggage claim
  • The Style-Fluent Nomad: Wardrobe that works in galleries and on mountain trails
  • The High-Security Adventurer: Keep essentials hidden in plain sight without bulky money pouches
