In a hectic, fast-paced world it can be easy to forget just how amazing our planet really is.

Enter Dinoski, the adventure wear brand on a mission to show us just how much there is left to explore, and how much fun there is to be had while doing it.

Founders Will, Ed and Matt have worked with children's illustrator Jane Foster to create a range of stand-out ski suits for children that works for both on the slopes and a cold day at school.

The suits (suitable for two to seven-year-olds) come in several animal-themed designs: Spike the dinosaur, Cub the lion and Hop the rabbit, with three more designs to be released in the next year (Pounce the tiger, Patch the panda and Sparkle the unicorn). The eye-catching suits make it easier to spot your kid on the slopes, but they're also equipped with zips and seams to keep the snow out, thumb loops and cuffs to keep little hands warm, hoods and snow pockets – and, crucially, are machine-washable and easy to clean.

What's more, the Dinoski founders shipped over an American school bus and converted it into a tour bus to drive across the Alps. The bus doubled up as a mobile ski shop, show room and coffee bar, with four bunk beds and a roof terrace.

But this is only the beginning: Dinosea and Dinocity ideas are already in the pipeline, and Will, Ed and Matt have set themselves the task of becoming the biggest adventure brand in the world.

Want to help them? They've set out to raise £200,000 with Crowdcube, and are halfway to their target.

Here's what Dinoski has achieved so far:
