The 'JUST5' self-sanitizing jacket is a protective piece of outerwear that works to deliver a way to combat against the elements as well as invisible threats like pathogens to keep the wearer safer. The jacket is covered with the HeiQ V-Block coating developed by the Switzerland-based company, which is capable of neutralizing microbes on the surface thanks to silver and liposomes that are cosmetic-grade. The jacket is further enhanced with a protective hood for blocking out droplets and also features glove-like extensions on the cuffs for eliminating the need to make bare contact with commonly touched surfaces like subway polls.
The 'JUST5' self-sanitizing jacket has been developed by the European Institute of Design and comes in size options for the whole family.
