The GAMMA Jacket: Is It Actually Useful? [ A D ]

I’m always on the lookout for excellent clothes to buy for myself and the kids. The fashion industry moves forward at an astonishingly fast pace, but this is probably the first time I’ve seen a piece of clothing with so much technology behind it. What I’m talking about is the GAMMA jacket from weargraphene.com. This is an innovative jacket that will last years and can replace pretty much every other jacket in your closet. The internet has been going crazy about it, with funding for the jacket quickly reaching millions on Kickstarter. Here are my thoughts on this exciting piece.

First off, we need to talk about graphene. I don’t grasp it entirely, but it’s a nanomaterial made of a single layer of carbon atoms (the same stuff that’s in diamonds and pencils). The one-atom hexagonal lattice makes this one of the world’s strongest and most durable materials, and yet it’s as light as air. Graphene is such a breakthrough that its developers (or discoverers) have received a Nobel Prize.

However, I don’t know much about the technical aspect of these things, and you can read more about it here. What I do know is that the GAMMA jacket has infused graphene into the fibers to make it one of the most versatile and robust jackets on the market.

The jacket itself is stylish. The designers went for a more subdued and neutral appearance, with black being the primary color with grayish accents for the pockets and zippers. Overall, you can wear this piece with pretty much any clothing you like.

The material is incredibly light and breathable. The whole thing weighs just over a pound, which is not something you see in winter clothes. The jacket works in the winter due to graphene’s thermal conductivity. It takes your body heat and traps it inside. If, however, that isn’t enough during harsher periods, the jacket also comes with attached heaters for extra comfiness. The heaters are powered by any power bank you have at your disposal and connects via internal pockets.

Speaking of pockets, there are a total of ten pockets spread around the jacket. This is fantastic news to everyone since it allows you to keep your valuables safe. The pockets also serve as storage for the heaters and the power bank. If you don’t need those during warm weather, you get extra space to cram more tidbits into your clothing. Who needs purses when you’ve got all-terrain jackets with this much carrying capacity?

While my children are too young for this jacket, I’m sure that all parents will agree that having an item of clothing that can be used universally is one of the best things in the world. In fact, this jacket is also waterproof and repels dirt and odors, making it a great choice if you have young, spill-prone teenagers. If something spills on the jacket, you can simply pop it in the washing machine. I’m honestly not sure what part of the jacket I like most.

The GAMMA jacket’s durability and versatility intrigue me. It is an excellent choice for everyday wear. However, it really shines in more adventuristic and extreme settings, where you’d normally need much bulkier or restrictive clothing. The jacket’s flexible material allows you to move freely on hikes and extreme sports, making it one of the best things to pack for a vacation.

Overall, the GAMMA jacket is a promising new piece of apparel for both parents and teenagers (I haven’t seen children’s sizes). I’m sure every parent will love having a single jacket to fit all their needs and last for years without a scratch. If you want to find out more, check out www.weargraphene.com.
