PYKRS x Xpore: Sustainable Smart Outdoor Jacket Launched on Kickstarter
Product / 2022.03.17
Waterproof, windproof, highly breathable, fast-drying, fashionable. Shouldn’t this be more than enough for an outdoor jacket? PYKRS doesn’t think so.
They just couldn’t help themselves spending one and a half years inventing something smarter and more functional.
If you feel cold, the jacket keeps you warm. If it’s too warm, just detach the hood. 100% flexibility on adjusting the whole jacket, making it a better fit for you. If your phone is out of power, just use the charger in the jacket. For your safety, the lighting system on the jacket will keep you seen at night. If you have a serious fall, the jacket can alert your family, and send them your location. It is also equipped with numerous pockets for storing your phone, ski pass, goggles etc.. A smart App to communicate with the jacket is also a must have.
“It should be an outdoor jacket that people can wear in any scenario,” said Juan Roca Arderiu, the founder of PYKRS.
However, what cannot be ignored is the high-performance and sustainability of this jacket. After sourcing from every corner of the world PYKRS eventually found the soul of this smart jacket - Xpore. As the leading supplier of eco-friendly waterproof breathable textile solutions, Xpore has tailored this all-round use textile for PYKRS to provide wearers with the best comfort for their outdoor adventures, which is made from 100% recycled polyester, with extraordinary waterproof and breathable properties, also PFC-free and solvent free.
Xpore has just won 3 Textrends Top Ten awards at ISPO Munich, the world’s largest and most influential award for the outdoor and sporting goods industry and received a GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certificate in the first quarter of 2022.
