Yet although it looks much more practical that is does fashionable, it's features outweigh anything missing in the aesthetics department, which is not much to begin with. Designed by Stormtech, the B2 Solar 3-in-1 System Jacket combines a [highly waterproof material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-outdoor-collection) with equal amount of breathability. Yet this doesn't mean the outerwear is lacking in [warmth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helium-diamond-fuse-jacket). It has a full length inner storm flap to prevent cold air from coming in as well as brushed tricot hand warmer pockets and a mesh-bonded heat reflective liner for unrivaled insulation. Yet people will most likely appreciate the internal side zip pocket that boasts a media port for electronics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Highly Waterproof Outerwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced waterproof materials and technologies to create outerwear that offers superior protection against extreme weather conditions. - **Breathable Winter Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent breathable fabrics and design techniques that allow for comfortable wear in cold climates without sacrificing warmth. - **Multifunctional Winter Jackets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create versatile winter jackets that combine functionality, style, and convenience for consumers who prioritize both practicality and fashion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Apparel Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative materials and designs to revolutionize the outdoor apparel market, providing consumers with enhanced performance and comfort. - **Textile Manufacturing Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new manufacturing techniques and sustainable materials for the textile industry, catering to the demand for high-performance and eco-friendly fabrics. - **Technology and Fashion Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge technology and fashion by incorporating media ports and other electronic-friendly features into garments, offering seamless integration of devices and convenience for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactical Inclement Weather Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storm-jacket.md) - [Performance-Driven Down Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/down-hood.md) - [Winter Performance Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-performance-jacket.md) - [Body-Mapped All-Weather Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherproof-parka.md) - [Technical Weatherproof Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-the-one-shell.md) - [Aerogel-Insulated Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacepeak-jacket.md) - [High-Performance Mountain Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-brighton-insulated-snow-jacket.md) - [High-Performance Waterproof Outdoor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-outdoor-collection.md) - [Adaptable Stretching Down Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woolrich-bering-down-jacket.md)
