Future Shell: The Ultimate Modular Jacket for Kids

Innovative Airbreath System Revolutionizes Children's Outerwear

As outdoor activities gain traction post-pandemic, Yiou Wu's Future Shell Modular Jacket emerges as a versatile solution for children's apparel. This award-winning design, with its unique Airbreath linkage ventilation system, promises comfort and adaptability in various weather conditions.

The Future Shell Modular Jacket is a testament to the evolving needs of children's outdoor wear. In an era where versatility and comfort are paramount, Yiou Wu has crafted a garment that stands out for its modular design and the innovative Airbreath linkage ventilation system. This system, a blend of strategically placed knitted fabrics and breathable structures, offers unparalleled comfort by ensuring stable ventilation across the jacket's layers.

What sets the Future Shell apart is its adaptability. The jacket comprises three distinct layers – a protective layer, a thermal layer, and a sports layer – each designed to function independently or in unison, catering to temperatures ranging from -10 to 25 degrees Celsius. This flexibility empowers parents to tailor the jacket to the day's weather, ensuring their children are always appropriately dressed for the occasion.

Yiou Wu's commitment to sustainability is evident in the choice of materials. The jacket utilizes 100 percent recycled polyester fabrics, treated with a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR), and is insulated with PrimaLoft, which incorporates Ocean Bound plastic. This eco-conscious approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also simplifies the recycling process due to the use of single component materials.

Technical specifications reveal the jacket's lightweight nature, with the total weight of all three layers amounting to a mere 0.78kg. This lightness, combined with design features like a large-size height adjuster for the hat and an inclined cuff adjuster, ensures ease of wear and operation, enhancing the overall user experience for active children.

The Future Shell Modular Jacket's design journey, set to conclude in Shanghai by September 2024, is grounded in extensive research aimed at creating a functional all-weather garment. The result is a jacket that not only withstands diverse climatic conditions but also offers constant heat dissipation and air ventilation, a significant advancement in children's outdoor apparel.

Yiou Wu's Future Shell Modular Jacket has been recognized with the prestigious Iron A' Design Award, a nod to its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature. The jacket's ability to meet professional and industrial standards while providing comfort and positive experiences for its young wearers is a remarkable achievement in design, contributing to a better and more sustainable world for future generations.
