While the Indestructible Hooded Jacket is just 1 millimetre thick, it can withstand a 75kmph fall and drag on concrete – we know this as we took it into the lab and beat the crap out of it by recreating real-world conditions which would quickly destroy most gear, from blunt force trauma to sudden impact from high speed falls.
 
It also comes with concealed side pockets that can’t be torn off. Every critical seam on the jacket has been stitched with double lines of heavy-duty thread which are reinforced with woven tape on the underside. And as no one’s ever attempted to make a jacket like this before, we built it with the help of a team who make body suits for pro motorbike riders, fire-proof clothes for the military, and chainsaw-proof boots.
 
The material itself is unlike anything you’ve worn before. We’ve taken the world’s strongest fibre™ that you normally find in bulletproof vests and the sides of tanks –  Dyneema® – and blended it with elastane, to create a jacket that combines extreme four-way stretch with extreme strength.
