SOLAMENT "DOWN-LESS DOWN JACKET"
Apparel prototyping project
Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd.
"A transparent down jacket harnessing power of sunlight." This jacket instantly generates heat upon exposure to sunlight, eliminating the need for traditional feathers. Its warmth rivals, if not surpasses, that of conventional down jackets.It is crafted from SOLAMENT™, a material invented by us, which has the ability to absorb "near-infrared rays". By using this, we can create highly functional clothing that not only keeps us warm but reduces our reliance on valuable resources. Also controlling sunlight, it is possible to achieve comfort without wasting energy. This material has the potential to become the mainstream of the future era.
