The Ice Jacket is a chic ECCO leather offering that features "micro-encapsulated pigment molecules." This property allows for the piece to be thermo-sensitive as it darkens its outer shell in colder temperatures. In addition to this hyper-cool and aesthetically pleasing attribute, the innovative outerwear is also equipped with some performance enhancement features through Stone Island's Dyneema Project. To optimize the Ice Jacket for extra-cold temperatures, the brand adds a "super freeze-proof [detachable down lining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eiderdown-puffer-jacket)." Without a doubt, the thermo-responsive innovative outerwear is an entertaining development in [contemporary winter fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-and-jw-anderson).
