Pauline van Dongen, a Dutch fashion designer who focuses on wearable technology, has launched a new work.
She collaborated with Waddenvereniging, the Dutch marine association, to design a fashionable windbreaker for outdoor guides working in the Wadden Sea Island Nature Reserve. The energy stored in it can last for two hours to charge a mobile phone and can also be connected to a GPS device. To solve the electricity needs of guides walking outside for a long time.
These tourist guides, called Wad Walkers, often work on the seaside. When the tide goes out, the Wadden Sea will reveal vast mudflats. The guides will help hikers explore these unknown areas – so they often need to If it cannot be charged, it can be hiked for more than 10 hours.
“Wad Walkers need to face different weather conditions, including high winds and rain, and we have designed them with these in mind,” van Dongen explains. So while the solar windbreaker will be useful when the sun is shining, it is also waterproof, Can be applied to different seasons.
The windbreaker is made of recycled denim twill denim yarn provided by BlueLOOPoriginals. The collar of the windbreaker has a hidden zipper, and when opened, a hood can be taken out. Three soft solar panels are attached to the front of the windbreaker, so the guides can carry a backpack on the back. If you forget to bring the connection data cable, the inductive charging system that comes with the windbreaker also supports wireless charging.
Although this windbreaker is specially designed for guides, the solar shirt with a similar principle recently launched by vanDongen is designed for the public, although it is not yet on sale.
This solar shirt can store more energy and take hours to charge. Supported charging devices include smartphones, MP3 players, cameras, GPS devices and other USB rechargeable devices. If there is no need to charge it temporarily, the power in the shirt will be retained for future use.
vanDongen first came up with the idea of designing solar-powered clothing in 2013, after launching a line of solar-powered parkas, jackets and skirts.
To be honest, the charging needs of those who rely heavily on electronic devices really need to be met.
