iilation Jacket sets new standards in functional density and level of integration
April 28, 2015

The iilation Jacket sets new standards in terms of functional density and integration level in smart garments and is a perfect example for the power of conformable electronics. The technology inside the jacket is thin, flexible, lightweight, and has extremely high performance standards. The conformable electronics system is fully integrated and distributed within the garment. It is intelligent and highly sophisticated, but allows for easy and intuitive control. The iilation Jacket warms the shoulders, neck, back, kidneys, and hands, functions as hands free calling device, allows users to listen to music without headphones, and even charges cell phones. “The jacket was specifically developed for convertible and classic car drivers and urban commuters,” Teiimo CEO Markus Strecker said. “Neither in the development, nor in the production, did we compromise, we deliberately chose first class materials and always emphasized the highest possible comfort for the user.” Cruising with the top down will be more comfortable and the iilation Jacket will extend the season for convertible enthusiasts. Classic car drivers, whose cars generally don’t have heated seats or hands-free calling, can now enjoy these features in their cars. They can always be reached because the jacket’s integrated Bluetooth allows easy and clear communication while driving. This saves expensive and time consuming retro fitting of this functionality into the car. The handcrafted iilation Jacket is made of the finest German cowhide leather. The jacket warms neck, shoulders, kidneys, and back. The ladies’ jacket features additional heated pockets. With the user interface in the outer pocket, two distinct heating zones can be adjusted independently on five different levels. The very thin, flexible, and light weight rechargeable batteries in the sleeve pockets can heat the jacket for up to six hours and can be charged in as little as two hours. In the car, the iilation Jacket can easily be powered through the cigarette lighter outlet. Cables to connect to the car are located in both the left and right pocket, to prevent wire tangles. The iilation Jacket can connect to cellphones via Bluetooth; a microphone and two small but effective speakers are integrated into the collar. Calls can easily be taken through buttons in the left sleeve. Music can also be played through the jacket. Practical for on the go: a cell phone charger with USB output.
