[Vollebak's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollbak-firefly-jacket) Solar Charged Puffer is designed to offer great warmth and instantly glow in the dark thanks to the fact that it's constructed out of a highly responsive material. While it usually takes some time for items to be charged by the sun, Vollebak promises that its jacket can be made to instantly glow in the dark after shining an [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganance-heir) flashlight or a lightbulb at the material or wearing it in the sun.

The all-white design emits a bright green glow and it shares "the kind of tech that would normally only work in a lab." Since the [puffer jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zzzn-puffer-jacket) was created to offer a great amount of warmth for exploring some of the world's coldest and darkest places, it's equipped with ultra-durable three-layer waterproof fabric for comfort and technical performance.
