This jacket can heat, charge and massage thanks to wearable technology
ISPO Award 2022 Winner: Sundance Heptathlon Black Technology Down Jacket
Sundance shows the future of clothing with this very classic-looking winter jacket: Several wearable technology features come together here.
The Heptathlon Black Technology Down Jacket from Chinese manufacturer Sundance is made of windproof, waterproof and breathable premium fabric and filled with high-quality goose down. But that's not all: this jacket demonstrates which high-tech materials and functions can already be used commercially in the apparel industry today.
Much more interesting than the pure fabric function is the equipment with wearable technology. For example, Sundance has integrated graphene heating. The temperature of the graphene heating foil and the heat-conducting inner lining can be regulated in three stages by a button on the jacket's inner pocket. An integrated vibration massage on the back and waist can also be adjusted there. So, you can enjoy a unique massage service anytime and anywhere.
Another highlight is an inflatable neck pillow on the collar. For this, a small, thin tube protrudes from the inner pocket, which can be stowed there again after use. The neck pillow is not noticeable even when inflated, because it is covered by the voluminous hood.
In addition, the jacket has various ports for multifunctional charging of electronic devices, such as smartphones and watches. The necessary power for this is provided by a lithium battery.
All these functions are so cleverly integrated that they remain invisible to the outside world and are not at all noticeable when worn. The jacket is nevertheless lightweight and slim-fitting, making it perfect for urban life. The jacket is designed for men and has been on the market in China since fall 2021.
