Although there are many outerwear jacket designs that boast reflective strips that flash when light hits them at night, the Volleback Solar Charged Jacket sets itself apart with a design that collects energy from the sun and causes the entire outer shell of the jacket to glow in low light.
The phosphorescent jacket design boasts a three-layer stretch fabric design, plus features that remind of some mushrooms that glow in the dark.
The lightweight outerwear jacket is just 230 grams and can be neatly folded away when not in use. When the jacket has been fully charged by the sun, it is able to emit a green flow that eventually fades back to a light green, and then white. Its glow-in-the-dark design makes it possible for its wearer to be visible for up to 12 hours, which is ideal for hiking, camping and other outdoor excursions.
