How the Graphene Jacket was used as a life-saving solar panel in Nepal, in the most lateral experiment so far.
Could graphene save your life? When we built the Graphene Jacket 1 it’s not something we considered.

The first Graphene Jacket is here, and it’s magical...more akin to a hackathon than a fashion design process.
The Vollebak 50,000BC Jacket is built to protect you in unlivable environments so you can explore and conquor the dark, untouched corners of the Earth. Using Ice Age-proof construction, the technical jacket is built for the colonization of Earth and is ready to handle every terrain and temperature you could encounter.
The reason the jacket is so striking is just as much about the fine finishing details as it is any technological innovation. The glow stretches evenly end-to-end, everywhere but the zippers and pull strings, to include even the seams themselves.
The visibly stunning piece of outerwear acts like a mirror for whatever light conditions you're in, with a liquid metal appearance under the sun that shifts to a bionic blue at night with any camera flash, torch, or searchlight.
Most think of techwear as clothing for the future, but Vollebak is not most people. The label’s 50,000BC jacket is a “part coat, part cave” survival garment designed for the greatest adventurer that ever lived: prehistoric man.
