Prepare Yourself for Any Type of Weather With a Three-Season Trench Coat
Between late trains, heavy traffic, and unpredictable weather, there are a lot of factors that make the daily commute a struggle. And while TexLab can’t help you with those first two issues, they can provide you with their sleek, three-season Zerod trench coat that’s suited for just about any weather your commute could possibly throw your way. They recently launched a Kickstarter campaign, where you can get your own Zerod for $79.
Both waterproof and wind resistant, the Zerod trench coat set comes with an inner down layer, 10 pockets for ample storage space, and a detachable hood with a hidden zipper. So, even if the skies open up on your walk to work, there’s no need to worry, as this trench coat is built to ward off even the heaviest rain.
The Zerod keeps you dry through its Eco Bionic coating, which is free of any harmful chemicals and highly effective for repelling water on many fabrics and fibers, according to Market Place. And the Zerod has an inner thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane, a fiber known for being water resistant.
Along with keeping you dry, the jacket is built to keep you warm. There's a graphene membrane that helps naturally spread heat from warmer parts of your body to cooler ones, according to the campaign. Graphene is making its way into more jackets on the market, and according to Fast Company, it's a material known for "warming you up over time, conducting electricity, repelling bacteria, and dissipating your body’s excess humidity." Those anti-bacterial properties also help eliminate odors because the bacteria from sweat won’t have a place to colonize.
For colder days, you can add the inner down layer of the Zerod. Both water- and wind-resistant, it's also eco-friendly and stuffed with a fiber made from recycled plastic.
Currently, the Zerod is available in honey and black-navy, and you can get your own by heading here.
