VForce Collection created an outerwear solution for those who are looking for extra protection beyond masks, gloves and sanitizers, as its copper jacket taps into an infection-killing agent that's been trusted for millennia. Copper releases reactive ions that puncture a cell's outer membrane, which makes it effective for reducing potential viral infections thanks to its incredible antiviral properties.
With TPU fabric that has up to 5% of copper compounded in, VForce Collection created fashion-forward, unisex jackets that are lightweight, compactable, windproof, water-resistant and useful for providing high-quality protection.
The copper compounded jacket is described as a solution for easing "the daily stress of being outside, ranging from being an essential worker, running errands, and all public transportation."
