Heated jackets aren’t new. We’ve even seen jackets that integrated solar panels to recharge its batteries from the sun. While functional, can you imagine just how nasty solar panels look on a jacket? That’s why this ThermalTech Solar-Powered Jacket does things in an entirely different way.

No, it doesn’t use solar panels to charge up onboard batteries. Heck, it doesn’t even use heated pads to warm up the jacket. Instead, it uses an entirely new fabric that absorbs light and stores it as heat, allowing the entire garment to keep you warm as long as light is available (both natural and artificial will work) in your location.

The ThermalTech Jacket uses a proprietary fabric that integrates stainless steel fibers, allowing it to transform the light it absorbs into an additional 18-degrees Fahrenheit of heat to keep you toasty underneath. Even better, it does that within two minutes of light exposure, so it won’t take too long to start feeling warmer while outside. Beyond balancing your body temperature, it’s also lightweight, breathable (it uses an interlaced design that allows excess vapor to exit while repelling outside moisture), and flexible, so it doesn’t scrimp on the technical features you need from a cold weather garment.

It comes in three styles: Street, Explorer, and Extreme. Street, of course, is an everyday city jacket with a focus on style, while Explorer is a camping jacket with a detachable hoodie, waist zipper, and deep exterior pockets with hidden inner pockets. The Extreme, on the other hand, is aimed at snowboarders and skiers, pairing the same features as the Explorer with a thicker construction.

An Indiegogo campaign is currently running for the ThermalTech Jacket. Pledges to reserve a unit starts at $139.
