When I was a kid, I assumed that by 2021 we’d all be going to work on hoverboards and eating a three-course-meal pill on the fly. Whilst that reality hasn’t quite transpired yet, a clothing firm named Wear Graphene have seemingly created the jacket that my 80s-child self might have envisioned as the jacket of the future.
Now don’t get the wrong idea, by saying it’s the jacket of the future, I don’t mean that it looks sci-fi and outlandish. In fact, it looks just like a normal jacket. It’s stylish, but not in a flamboyant sense. More than anything, the GAMMA jacket has more of a timeless look, and I imagine that’s for one very good reason.
Because it’s the last jacket you’ll ever need to buy.
Wait. What?
Oh I’ve got you, so it’s just a fairly durable coat is it?
If by ‘fairly durable’ you mean 100% cutproof! There’s a video on their Indiegogo page of someone taking a knife to one of this graphene jacket and not being able to leave a scratch! This is all down to the graphene fabric which is stronger than diamond. It’s even resistant to stains and scuffs.
One particular professor of physics has found that two layers of graphene can be enough to stop a bullet! If I ever see any trouble, I’m hiding behind the guys in GAMMA jackets!
But won’t you need something a bit lighter for the warmer months, so you don’t overheat?
Actually no. This outdoor jacket’s graphene construction ensures that it remains superbly breathable. It actually helps to control temperature in a way that mimics our own skin. That means that it can expel warm air and excess heat, while wicking away moisture and perspiration.
On top of that, GAMMA jackets provide 100% UV protection, ensuring that your skin is protected from the sun’s harmful rays even on the sunniest days.
Ah, so it’s only a summer jacket, eh? It gets cold round here, and you’ll need something to keep you warm in the winter
Nope. The GAMMA jacket will keep you toasty even when the temperature drops below freezing. The nano-lattice structure of the jacket’s fabric is incredibly conductive, meaning that when the temperature drops, your body heat will be distributed across the jacket.
Of course, you may find that in really cold conditions, body heat alone just doesn’t cut it. That’s where GAMMA’s three carbon-fibre heating elements come into play. A push of an easy-to-find button is all it takes to turn on this all-climate jacket’s built-in heating!
Again, the graphene make up of the jacket means that this heat spreads across your entire upper body within seconds. It boasts three different heat settings, and a power pack battery life that can keep you warm and cosy for up to 22 hours!
Despite all this techno-wizardry and heating, Wear Graphene guarantee that there’s zero risk of overheating or igniting as graphene is inherently thermoregulating.
Hold on though, If you wear the same jacket all-year, every year, won’t it get a bit…you know…whiffy?
Not in the slightest. This wonder fabric, graphene, is 100% antimicrobial. There’s no way that stinky bacteria can even grow on it. The Indiegogo page tells us that it neutralises bad smells through a process called ‘ionic conduction’. I’ve no idea what that might be, but if it stops jackets smelling of body odour, then I’m all for it.
If for some reason, you still wanted to wash the GAMMA jacket (despite it being resistant to stains and odours), you’ll find that it’s 100% machine washable too. Because the power pack isn’t built in, you can just throw the jacket in with the rest of your laundry.
Okay. I think I’ve got you with this next one. Doesn’t the coating on all waterproof jackets degrade over time and compromise their waterproofness eventually?
Therein lies the beauty of graphene. It doesn’t need a coating at all.
Graphene by itself is made up of compact atomic bonds, making it not only entirely waterproof, but windproof too. Its construction makes it waterproof, not a coating. It’s the best rain jacket you can buy!
There’s also a plethora of options to tighten up hems, sleeves and hood areas, to keep draughts out, They really have thought of everything. Like I say, it’s the last jacket you’ll ever ne…
Okay, okay. I get it. It really is THE LAST JACKET I’LL EVER NEED TO BUY. You win. I lose. Where can I pick one up from?
