The Electric Jacket that Knows What You Want

We all know Boston is famous for its fresh clam chowder, year-round fun artsy exhibitions, and…crazy snow. You can easily be tricked by the weather if you are new to the city. During the winter season, it can be sunny this minute and immediately change to a terrible blizzard. A warm jacket is a must there, but the heavy and baggy design is never the ideal. Tired of putting on layers and layers, you are probably looking for this lightweight electric jacket.

Ministry of Supply

The company is made up of a team of mixed engineers and product designers, who are expert in apparel designing. They also collaborate with other tech companies, such as Dephy, Boston based human-robotics design and engineering firm, MEC AddHeat, leading company in learning wearable heating devices, etc.

Though the winter of 2018 is almost over (fingers crossed), we can totally give this high-tech electric jacket a try for the 2019 winter. The jacket itself is good for 20-60 degree F, and it works down to 0 F with the heaters on. Sounds like a solid plan?
