Billabong for Cooler Weather
When we think Billabong we think sun, surf, and hot summer weather. But if your travel plans take you to a destination south of the equator, you may experience weather too cool to run around in shorts and flip-flops. Have no fear, because our favourite outfitter from Australia has you covered with just the right stuff to keep you warm and make you look great.
Since we can't always predict the weather, one of the essentials of any holiday is a pair or two of denim jeans. Billabong has eight lines for 2010. The popular mid-priced Recycler is made with a combination of 63% standard cotton and 37% recycled cotton fibres, and has a zipper fly. The high-end Malice, on the other hand, is made with sorona stretch denim and features an internal waistband, in leg embroidery, and a zipper fly as well.
Above the waist you'll look great and feel comfortable with the autumn line of shirts and knits. There are v-necks, polo’s, knits, and short or long sleeve dress shirts, all with a tasteful Billabong embroidery. For evening walks on the beach or a night on the town Billabong offers three cotton/polyester thermals and a complete line of eight different flannels. For especially chilly weather, the Steelo is a 100% cotton flannel with a medium-weight polyester fill and a hood. It's perfect for those beach parties that go long into the night as you hang around the bonfire.
Finally, just in case your travel plans take you to a destination that requires something a bit heavier, Billabong has that covered with fleece tops, sweaters, and jackets. Fleece tops come in a variety of styles ranging from simple single colours to eye-catching patterns and embroidery, to the elegant and stylish which would be suitable for a semi-formal gathering. All Billabong Fleece tops provide a hood for extra warmth.
The ten different jackets for 2010 are modestly priced. If good looks and styling are important to you, you can't go wrong with the incredibly attractive Roughneck. This jacket is faux leather with a quilted top panel, chest pocket, metal badging, and a hood. The elastic cuffs and waist keep the jacket in place and the cold air out.
If function is your need, try the military-style Markridge. This polyester jacket has both a front zipper and button snap closure for maximum protection along with a flannel-lined hood. Four oversized pockets don the front and are complemented nicely by metal badging and woven labelling.
As you can see, Billabong clothing isn't just for the sun and surf; it's for any climate or weather your holiday travel takes you to.
