Currently we are working on a project where we have to design a super suit for a certain sport. This company created a jacket that would be suitable for extreme cold conditions.
The Cold Race Jacket can withstand up to -35 C conditions and it was used for the North Pole Marathon. UVU involved Richard Nonovan, world's most experienced polar runner, with the design process. The jacket includes pockets suitable for food, compass, mobile phones and more.
The main fabric they use is Schoeller's c_change. The membrane mimics the effect of a pine cone, during higher body temperatures the pours would open release heat, and during colder temperatures the membrane would close so it can maintain a suitable body climate.
