GRAPHENE-X Japan

GRAPHENE-X Japan (Operated by United Co., Ltd.; Head office: Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture; Representative Director: Tatsuya Abe), the exclusive Japanese distributor of the Hong Kong apparel brand GRAPHENE-X, will begin selling the long-awaited latest "JackVest" from August 23, 2023 (Wednesday). GRAPHENE-X Japan will begin pre-order sales on its official website on Wednesday, August 23, 2023.

JackVest is a product developed by GRAPHENE-X's representative, inspired by NASA's space suits that boast ultimate adaptability.

With "ultimate versatility" as their North Star (the brand's guiding principle), it is clear that they could not help but notice the adaptability of space suits, as they continue to develop only products that can replace many in their closets and last a lifetime.


The reasons why they created JackVest can be summarized in the following three points



Versatility

Modular 3-in-1 design that transforms to fit the user's needs.

From a normally rugged, unbreakable, waterproof, all-weather adventure jacket, to a stylish semi-vest with detachable elbows, to a full-fledged vest with detachable shoulders, the JackVest is a garment that meets the demands of a wide range of situations.

The modularity of the space suit allows astronauts to customize their equipment to suit the mission and precisely control their movements.

And in our world, where the global environment is changing rapidly and we have seen many disasters in recent years, control and adaptability are just as important.


JackVest


Innovation

Inspired by astronauts' clothing, we have incorporated cutting-edge graphene technology and developed two types of integrated materials.

The graphene integrated shell fabric (surface: GRAPHSHIELD(TM)) provides strength and resilience, while the graphene integrated body insulation fabric (lining: GRAPHINSULATE(TM)) provides exceptional warmth, ensuring optimal comfort in any environment.


Shell material: GRAPHSHIELD(TM)


Tough and completely waterproof

GRAPHSHIELD(TM) offers exceptional lightness and toughness, and its strength to weight is far superior to conventional fabrics. Its feather-light structure allows for ease of movement while withstanding all weather conditions. The integration of graphene into the structure has been strategically thought out to form a shield that keeps wind and rain out, while maintaining unparalleled levels of breathability and abrasion resistance.


Lining Insulation: GRAPHINSULATE(TM)


Insulation properties

GRAPHINSULATE(TM) takes advantage of its lightweight properties and heat retention to provide comfort without the added weight of traditional insulation. The advanced integration of graphene effectively retains body heat, ensuring warmth and dryness in all conditions. JackVest boasts 40 g/m2 of insulation in the torso area alone (concentrated in the vest) and does not compromise the ease of arm movement.



■Practicality

Practical considerations are at the heart of the design.

It is waterproof, breathable and suitable for any weather conditions. With a removable hood, you can choose the level of coverage you want. In addition, there is a pocket for storing removed parts quickly so you don't lose them.

In addition to the detachable sleeves, the torso is equipped with ventilation openings for even more active temperature control.

The RFID pocket on the chest protects your personal information, and the hand warmers keep you warm.

Not only does it look great, but it is also practical and protective.

Stowable pockets


Back ventilation


Cuffs/handwarmer cuffs to keep out wind and rain


Next-generation 3-in-1 gear "JackVest


JackVest" is now available only on the official website. The reason for this?

With the previous release of "LIMITLESS," the first graphene-equipped backpack on earth, GRAPHENE-X has raised a cumulative total of over 1,000,000 yen through crowdfunding in Japan.

This time, however, the product will be sold exclusively on the official website.

The reason is that JackVest, due to its unique structure, is difficult to manufacture and has a long lead time, so we will only be selling a very small quantity this time. We also want to deliver what we have created as soon as possible.


As a supporter-first company, GRAPHENE-X's main business model is to raise funds from supporters through crowdfunding.

Therefore, for this ultra-limited production, we decided not to use an external platform, prioritizing the sale to our fans who will surely support us (nicknamed GRAPHENE-X).

For this reason, announcements and early purchase offers are distributed only to our newsletter and official LINE friends.

The next shipment of this product is undecided at this time, so if you are interested in this product, please consider it as soon as possible.

Pre-orders will be accepted on the official website from Wednesday, August 23, 2023 to the end of October 2023.
