With Schoeller’s E-Soft-Shell heating technology, the heat function is integrated into the fabric and the inbuilt sensors can measure the microclimate temperature inside the jacket.
The jacket is being further developed with additional features that can be controlled by an app.
Siegfried Winkelbeiner, CEO of Schoeller, said: “We are proud to have made a significant contribution to the functionality of the collection with our ESoft-Shell heating technology and our innovative textiles and technologies. For Schoeller, smart textiles are a strategic focus for an exciting textile future. For us the cooperation was a great learning experience and our first opportunity to provide the heating technology for a commercial product.”
Ahmet Mercan, head of global consumer products at Red Bull, said: “The Heatable Capsule Collection is an example of how true value can be created for the customer thanks to the respective expertise and a shared-mind set: only when players are willing to question the status quo, can something new and innovative be created.”
