Today you’ll typically find space blankets at the end of marathons, where sudden drops in metabolic heat production and wet running clothes put runners at risk of hypothermia.
The metal coating stops up to 97% of body heat escaping, dramatically reducing heat loss and stabilising body temperature. But originally this material technology was developed by NASA to stop their spacecraft freezing in space.
So we’ve repurposed and re-engineered it, building the world’s first Anodised Jackets – to match our Anodised Speaker, and Anodised Spaceshop.
The jacket comes in a muted Rust edition and a Metal edition.
And pre-orders are now open on this link. Built with metallic insulation, each jacket is fused with a near-invisible layer of metal using a galvanic bath and electrochemistry.
First, the fabric is made conductive by seeding it with metal particles. Then it’s submerged into a bath of metal salts with a current running through it. At this point metal ions plate themselves onto every fibre, atom by atom. The result is a jacket that behaves like metal but still moves and breathes like cloth.
The metallised surface of the Anodised Jacket has very low emissivity, bouncing back the IR radiation from your body, emitting very little heat, and making you appear cold or even invisible to infrared cameras. The cutting-edge metallisation process also bonds metal in visible clusters and clouds with an aesthetic unique to every jacket. This means that the patina of every jacket will develop differently over time.
