Active mothers face a clear problem: outdoor gear doesn’t fit during pregnancy. This creates a major gap in the outdoor apparel market — one ignored by big brands. Pregnant women are left without solutions in a fast-growing market. Until now.

The solution

Adenin designs outdoor gear that finally meets the needs of pregnant women — functional, technical, and built to perform. Our first product, adaptive hiking pants, fills this overlooked gap and supports women throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Why is this important?

Our research shows that 47% of pregnant women leave their bibs open and 53% resort to oversized clothes from partners.

  • 89% report missing functional outdoor wear during pregnancy.

  • More than half (54%) reduce their activity as a result.

“This isn’t just about apparel — it directly impacts the health of both mother and child.”

Choosing Adenin

Born of need, driven by innovation.

Our founder Christine experienced the problem firsthand during her pregnancies in 2020 and 2023, when no outdoor gear fit her changing body.

As a doctor aware of the importance of staying active, she decided to solve this gap by creating functional outdoor clothing for pregnant women.

Capturing only 10 % of the Scandinavian market:

Expanding to just 5 % of the European market:

£40M anually

Since starting our journey in 2023 we have received feedback from hundreds of women validating this gap. Online discussions frequently highlight frustration with current options.

Product testers describe our pants as ‘the most comfortable maternity pants I’ve ever tried — I would definitely buy them,’ demonstrating a strong customer demand, clear traction and product-market fit.”
