Buying new clothes isn’t always easy, especially if you commute to work or travel regularly. The outfit would have to be stylish and practical. For extended trips, the situation only gets worse when you consider how many jackets and coats are necessary for unpredictable weather. With so much uncertainty, it’s always better to be overprepared than forget something vital you can end up regretting later.
Luckily, new clothing like the GAMMA jacket offers more versatility than traditional light outerwear. This all-climate jacket uses graphene-infused nylon to provide an excellent combination of heat insulation and durability in a lightweight everyday jacket. The designers aim to completely change the public’s view of sustainable, versatile clothing by introducing a heated jacket that can easily handle all weather conditions.
Graphene is a revolutionary material isolated in 2004, earning a Nobel Prize and changing how we plan for the future. It is made from a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, which is extremely light and flexible. Additionally, this configuration has excellent heat and electricity transfer capacities, with significant potential applications in electronics, energetics, and environmental management.
The GAMMA jacket utilizes graphene’s unique strength, durability, and heat conductivity to provide excellent all-climate comfort and versatility in a small package. Weighing in at just about a pound, wearers can stash this jacket in pretty much any bag, even a laptop bag, or carry it on their person effortlessly.
Don’t let the jacket’s weight fool you. It can withstand severe weather, scrapes, and cuts, allowing you to wear it everywhere you go for years to come. The graphene infusion adds the much-needed durability and longevity to the jacket without weighing it down.
Graphene also acts as a heat conductor. The jacket’s fibre blend siphons heat and sweat away from the body during warm days, keeping the wearer cool in the sun. Due to the fabric’s UV protection, it doesn’t get warm in the sun despite its dark colour. In cold weather, the jacket distributes the wearer’s body heat around more evenly and reduces heat loss to the environment. In freezing conditions, when the body heat alone isn’t enough, the wearers can turn on the built-in heaters for a significant temperature and comfort boost. The heating elements spread the heat around evenly by utilizing the graphene fibre network in the jacket. They are powered by any USB-compatible battery bank, which adds more versatility to an already great jacket.
The jacket also adds more functionality by incorporating a total of 10 pockets throughout the torso and sleeves. The zippers on external pockets are water-resistant, providing the wearer with more assurance their valuables will be safe in a downpour. With such an extremely versatile design and carrying capacity, the jacket is a perfect way to shed some weight off backpacking trips or forgo bulky bags for a daily commute.
Since the jacket is waterproof and the graphene-fabric blend repels smallest particles, it can resist most stains and odors. If something does end up sticking to the fabric, you can easily wash the jacket in a washer (without the power bank).
Apart from its superb versatility and practicality, the GAMMA jacket is a stylish addition to any wardrobe. With a sleek black design, it can pair well with an outfit of your choice. If you want an excellent city look, you can wear the jacket with a T-shirt and Diesel jeans for a comfortable and always in-fashion look. The jacket is excellent for layering up due to its comfort and lightweight, making it a perfect accessory for frequent commuters. You can even pull off a smart work outfit with the jacket acting as a windbreaker on top of a suit. The jacket’s hood, high collar, and rain hem will protect the entire torso from getting wet or dusty in adverse weather conditions.
Graphene-injected clothing is here to revolutionize the way we think about smart, lightweight, and durable solutions for everyday wear and travel outfits. If you want to find out more about the GAMMA jacket and its creators, check out their crowdfunding campaign at www.weargraphene.com.
