What it does

Named by WIRED as Sports Gear of the Year in 2017, the Solar Charged Jacket is made from a highly responsive material that can be instantly charged and made to glow in the dark by any light source you can find. Write on it with your iPhone torch. Draw on it with a flashlight. Or charge it in the sun to make it glow like kryptonite.

2X winners of TIME Best Inventions, our clothes include jackets built from 11km of copper, hoodies designed to outlive you, and the first clothing for Mars.
