Waxed cotton from Halley Stevensons in Scotland protects your child from rain, just as it once protected the sails of Scottish fishermen. Breathable, weatherproof, more beautiful over time. For basket and seat of the A, C and U series. The ANGELCAB logo is highly reflective and provides extra visibility in the dark. When not in use, the rain cover disappears into a sewn-on pouch.

Halley Stevensons has been manufacturing in Dundee, Scotland since 1862. At the historic Baltic Works site, right on the River Tay, dyeing and finishing still take place under one roof. The technique of waxed cotton dates back to the 15th century, when Scottish fishermen impregnated their sails with fish oil. From this practice, waxed cotton developed in the 19th century, as Halley Stevensons still produces it today. Tightly woven cotton, finished with paraffin wax. In 1910, the company received its first patent for waterproofing textiles.

Today, Halley Stevensons is considered the world’s leading manufacturer of waxed cotton fabrics. Trained technicians develop in-house special-purpose machines; every batch undergoes strict quality checks. As a Bluesign System Partner, the company meets high standards for environmental, health and safety performance in textile production. Customers include fashion houses from London, Paris, New York, Munich and Milan.

The fabric itself changes over time. It breathes, adapts to temperature fluctuations, withstands wind and rain, and develops its own patina through use. This very fabric now protects your child too—instead of plastic.
