Graphene-X's All Rounder Pants funded on Kickstarter in 27 minutes, return in two builds

Graphene-X, a Hong Kong-based performance apparel brand, has launched its All Rounder Urban and All Rounder Adventure Pants on Kickstarter. These pants utilize a 200 g/m² graphene-integrated, four-way stretch fabric, which is PFAS-free and water-repellent. The Kickstarter campaign quickly reached its funding goal within 27 minutes of launch on October 8, 2026, and surpassed its $100,000 stretch goal in 60 hours, now totaling over $115,000 from more than 550 backers.

The new fabric, developed after four years of feedback, is composed of 92% graphene-integrated nylon and 8% spandex. This enhancement nearly doubles the weight of the original 105 g/m² fabric used in the first All Rounder Pants, which launched in 2022. The graphene is integrated into the nylon yarn, ensuring durability through washes. Lab tests show the fabric's ability to distribute heat evenly, resist abrasion, and suppress odor-causing bacteria. It also offers UPF 50+ protection and maintains water repellency even after 80 washes.

The All Rounder Urban Pants feature six pockets, including four with zippers, and a concealed waist adjuster, making them suitable for travel and office wear. The All Rounder Adventure Pants include external storage options with a magnetic-flap cargo pocket, a waterproof membrane, and additional features like calf vents and knee-to-cuff zips. Both designs offer four-way stretch, a gusseted crotch, and extendable inseams.

Graphene-X's founder, Jorge Barros, field-tested the Adventure Pants in Vietnam's Hang Son Doong cave, emphasizing the fabric's resilience in challenging conditions. The brand's consistent success on Kickstarter, with more than 90% of current backers having supported previous campaigns, highlights the durability and appeal of their products.

The All Rounder Urban and Adventure Pants are available on Kickstarter until November 6, 2026, with retail prices set at $159 and $199, respectively. Early bird pricing offers discounts, and delivery is expected by April 2027. Graphene-X, founded in 2019, specializes in performance apparel using advanced materials like graphene, aerogel, and boron nitride, and has been recognized with several industry awards.
