Just in case you end up in some Blade Runner or Minority Report dystopian future – in which you need to stay incredibly warm while reducing your thermal signature from the drone swarms at the same time… you’re in luck. The Thermal Cloaking Jacket is actually two jackets in one. The outer layer of the jacket is the bit that does the thermal and electromagnetic cloaking. It’s built with an advanced version of the metallic insulation originally developed by NASA to stop their spacecraft freezing in space... which means it does some really unusual things. Because we only metallise the surface, it still moves and breathes like cloth – not metal. The metallised surface has very low emissivity, bounces back the IR radiation from your body, emits very little heat, acts like a Faraday cage, and makes you appear cold or even invisible to infrared cameras. The second layer of the jacket is a precision-cut and detachable winter liner which can operate as a fully independent jacket, or it can be fully locked to the outer shell. Inspired by the modular cold-weather systems first engineered for U.S. Army fishtail parkas, it comes with a modular attachment system designed to lock the two layers together so they behave like a single cold-weather machine. Once docked, the shell and liner move as one piece. Undock it, and the liner operates as a fully independent jacket.
