Technical trench coat marries performance material and office style
20/03/2020
Designed so it can be worn for professional, personal and leisure activities, the jacket has features to block wind and rain and uses a detachable inner jacket to make it suitable for varying temperatures.
Among the technologies used are an Eco Bionic coating, free of poly-fluorinated chemicals and a Thermoplastic Polyurethane membrane to repel water. The inner jacket uses Thermolite T-Down EcoMade, a recycled synthetic fibre engineered for down replacement.
The use of highly conductive graphene, said Texlab, protects against electrostatic discharges, particularly in cold and dry weather.
"Graphene is one of the natural methods that is used to regulate skin temperature and increase it by an average of 2°C by evenly spreading heat from the warmer parts of your body, like your chest and back, to the other colder parts of the body," Byrd said. "The graphene membrane actually makes you ‘feel cooler’ in warm or hot temperatures due to the heat conductive feature."
Also, she said, graphene prevents the growth and reproduction of bacteria on the surface, making the jacket antibacterial and anti-odour.
