# Helium-Powered Floating Jackets The Inflatable HELIUM-10000 Jacket Allows the Wearer to Fly By Josh Thompson-Persaud | Published 2021-05-20 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helium10000-jacket References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/helium-10000-jacket/) & [andrewkostman](https://www.andrewkostman.com/) Andrew Kostman's HELIUM-10000 jacket takes [puffy jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-rex-down-jacket) to the next level with a design that enables the wearer to functionally fly. The jacket, which was engineered in Italy and made in Japan, has helium-powered pockets woven into it that facilitate the air-floating action. Because the jacket is inflatable, it can also presumably be worn in its deflated form as a regular puffy jacket. The "top secret" material used as the jacket's exterior is both resistant and [lightweight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electromagnetic-shielding-jacket). The HELIUM-10000 jacket comes in a collection of [vibrant colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solament) ranging from flashy gold and silver to zany rose and rainbow. Purchase of the HELIUM-10000 jacket comes with a branded helium cylinder used to power it. Andrew Kostman, the jacket's inventor, is offering limited bookings for jacket flights on his website. Alongside the HELIUM-10000 jackets, Kostman released a set of accompanying NFTs of each unique color of the jacket collection, which will be available on the OpenSea NFT platform.
