What makes the all-season Graphene-infused GAMMA jacket a must-have?

Blogging and working with various brands has taught me a lot about technology and looking out for the next big life-changing innovation. While that’s usually some new nifty piece of software, today I’ve learned about graphene and the new GAMMA jacket from weargraphene.com. If you’ve never heard of either of them, don’t stress; they’re a simple concept to grasp when you think about it.

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms in a sheet. If you remember some of your chemistry classes, carbon is used in many things, including graphite (i.e. pencil leads) and diamonds. While having only one atom layer makes graphene incredibly thin, it also makes it extremely strong and durable, not to mention light. These unique properties also give it superb conductivity and heat dispersion, making graphene one of the most desirable materials in the world.

While graphene was discovered in 2004, it took some time until it found an application in the world that wasn’t purely scientific. This was mainly due to the material’s cost and ineffective production methods. However, further research has led to some interesting graphene-based products, mostly in the fields of sports and theft protection. However, perhaps the most exciting use for graphene is in smartphones and clothes.

The fashion industry can make excellent use of a material that is so light and durable. This blend allows the clothing to weigh almost nothing and still preserve its effectiveness in windy or cold weather. This brings me to the GAMMA jacket I found.

The jacket is one of the most interesting pieces of apparel I’ve ever seen. The graphene allows it to function as winter clothing with only one, thin layer. This jacket can last a lifetime due to graphene’s unique physical properties. Since the jacket is in a neutral black colour, it can pair easily with other clothing and has a universal vibe that will look great even ten or twenty years from now!

I’m also pleasantly surprised by the jacket’s utility. There are a total of ten pockets, some on the sleeves and the outside, while others are tucked inside. The internal pockets double as storage for the jacket’s heaters. The carbon fiber heaters are there to ensure you can wear the jacket in freezing temperatures without any issues. These heaters use a traditional power bank that can be taken out and recharged if needed.

The jacket’s versatility allows it to be worn during warmer weather too. The breathable material wicks away excess heat and sweat from the body, keeping the wearer comfortable and dry even in the scorching heat. Graphene has intense heat conductivity, directing heat away from the body and dispersing it around.

The best part about this jacket is that you can wear it for pretty much every occasion. Whether you’re travelling, hiking across mountains or the countryside, or enjoying some time camping, you can’t go wrong with one of the most durable jackets ever made.

The women’s model accentuates the curves in a natural hourglass figure, without being too revealing. Since you can effectively replace a few layers of clothing with this thin jacket, the resulting effect is a drastically slimming look. The men’s model bulks up the shoulders, enhancing the wearer’s physique. However, there are no children’s sizes available, so it’s only suitable for teenagers and adults.
