Zephyr is tackling a problem that we all know too well: the heat in our cities is getting crazy! Over 50% of their survey participants suffer from extreme heat and worry about high UV levels every other day in summer, and we are sure you all can relate. That’s especially true if you’re a Young professional! They are living dynamic, hypersocial lives that often happen outside. These people drive our cities heartbeats, and they are willing to spend money in order to be comfortable and safe while doing so.
This is exactly, where the Zephyr Project is positioned. In the core of our brand, we want to protect the urban heartbeat by providing personal cooling styles, that help navigate hot urbans day in cooler confidence. This is achieved by their first product, the Active Cooling Jacket Type Zero.
In their jacket, they combine the most recent discoveries from high-tech industry cooling with their urban lifestyle look. This means, that you will be actively cooled by an inner vest, and passively protected by the suns UV-radiation and heat through the outer graphene jacket. The air vents and lightweight material makes it feel like you’re wearing nothing.
