What drives us

Designed for everyday life. Developed with protection in mind.

Protection should fit into your life. That is why we consider function, freedom of movement and comfort together.

01 / LOWTHERWhere we began

Protective clothing

Our CE-marked hoodies as personal protective equipment for children and adults laid the foundation. We build on it with the Hoodie 2.0 (Protector Pro X) and the development of shirts, jackets and trousers.

02 / The people behind Lowther

Personally connected. Responsible together.

Our story began with a clear decision: to protect people and take responsibility. As Lowther Swiss Defence, we continue what began with Lowther Swiss Armour.

Reliability, respect and keeping our word are our foundation. They shape our decisions, our partnerships and the way we treat one another.

Behind every product, we see a person.

03 / Our approach

Trust deserves care.

Protection is a responsibility. From the first design and material selection to testing, every detail matters.

01Tested for its protective function

Testing and certification depend on the individual protective function and applicable European guidelines. We work with accredited testing laboratories and the Hohenstein Institute as a German certification body.

02Clarity about protection

The stated properties of each product describe its protective function. They also provide specific details on testing and certification.

03Partnerships built on respect

Working with our producers has grown into personal connections and friendships. Trust, honest communication and the care we put into every product bring us together.

Our roots are a responsibility.

What we stand for

For people who stand up for others.

We are especially committed to those who work for the safety of others. Giving something back through our work is a personal commitment.

We also support people who consciously choose additional protection in their everyday lives. Their trust calls for respect and discretion.
