Peter Storm is an outdoor clothing brand originally developed in the United Kingdom. It was originally created in 1954 by former Royal Marine Noel Bibby as a company supplying waterproof nylon rainwear.
Bibby was credited with inventing the cagoule (as an outdoor garment) in the early 1960s. A cagoule was a long waterproof garment with a hood, but no front zip - an over-the-head design, named after the French word for a cowl or monk's hood.
After Bibby's death in 1989, the British rights to the name were bought by The Outdoor Group, and Peter Storm branded clothes are now sold mainly through its chains of Blacks and Millets shops. A different line of clothing is sold internationally under the Peter Storm name by Outdoor Equipment.
Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or storm:
“To refer is not to assert, though you refer in order to go on to assert.”
—Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)
“When the storm rattles my windowpane
I’ll stay hunched at my desk, it will roar in vain
For I’ll have plunged deep inside the thrill
Of conjuring spring with the force of my will,
Coaxing the sun from my heart, and building here
Out of my fiery thoughts, a tepid atmosphere.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
