High-Strength Utility Jackets

Vollebak's Durable Jacket is Made of 100% Dyneema Black

— April 15, 2020 — Fashion
Vollebak created an ultra-durable jacket using a material that's 15 times stronger than steel and was originally used for body armor, anti-ballistic vehicles and mooring systems for container ships. The Indestructible Jacket features a high-strength fiber—100% Dyneema Black—so that it is extremely resistant to tears and abrasions. According to Vollebak, the jacket's fabric even "increases in strength the colder it gets."

The durable jacket by Vollebak is paired with shatterproof, heat-resistant buttons made from corozo nuts and the design includes pockets on the chest that are hidden and open, plus reinforced stitching. Although denim or leather are commonly used for lightweight utility jackets, Vollebak is introducing a next-generation jacket design featuring the strongest material that is known today.
