When the winter chill sets in, layering up becomes a cumbersome necessity, particularly for outdoor enthusiasts. Sailwind, a brand that’s redefining heated apparel, aims to change that narrative. Born out of a desire to make winter activities more enjoyable, Sailwind combines cutting-edge technology with high-quality materials to offer a solution that’s both functional and stylish. Sailwind has launched its latest line of Winter Defender Jackets and vests on Kickstarter. Be sure to check it.
Imagine a jacket that heats up in just three seconds. That’s what Sailwind offers, thanks to its advanced carbon nanotube heating elements. These elements are strategically placed in four panels across the back, waist, and abdomen, ensuring that warmth is evenly distributed. The jacket comes with three adjustable temperature settings and can keep you warm for up to nine hours.
But what about the elements? Sailwind has that covered too. The outer shell of the jacket is made from professional-grade storm jacket material, boasting 10,000mm water resistance and 5,000 breathability. Add to that YKK waterproofing zippers, and you’ve got a jacket that can withstand even the harshest weather conditions. It’s waterproof, windproof and abrasion-resistant, making it an ideal choice for any outdoor activity.
Sustainability is another cornerstone of Sailwind’s design philosophy. The jackets feature 3M Thinsulate Insulation, 78% of which is made from recycled fiber. This material is not only warm but also lightweight, moisture-proof, and breathable. The lining is infused with graphene, a material known for its exceptional heat retention and antibacterial properties. This ensures that the jacket locks in 15% more warmth than conventional materials.
Practicality is also a key focus. The jackets come with a multi-pocket system, allowing you to carry all your essentials without the need for an additional bag. And for those who are always on the go, the jacket is designed to be TSA-friendly and can withstand over 50 machine washes.
The journey of Sailwind began in 2018 when a group of outdoor enthusiasts, particularly fond of fishing, decided to create gear that would allow them to enjoy their favorite activities without the burden of heavy clothing. The initial product, a heated vest, quickly gained popularity among various outdoor communities. Over the years, the team has continued to innovate, recently incorporating new materials like graphene and improving the design based on customer feedback. For instance, the battery pocket has been moved to the front for better comfort, and a new inner pocket has been added to keep the USB line out of the way.
Sailwind has launched its latest line of Winter Defender Jackets and vests, complete with a 10,000mAh fast-charging battery bank. The brand is committed to offering top-quality materials and technology without the premium price tag. They’re inviting pledges to help them continue to revolutionize the world of heated apparel. Inside the jacket’s right-hand pocket, you’ll find a waterproof USB-A connector to easily power up your jacket, making it a seamless part of your winter routine.
