"Vollebak's Martian Aerogel Jacket in Elysium Blue is literally made from the same materials currently exploring the Red Planet and it's one of the most fascinating pieces of design I've come across in a while. The outer shell is woven from hypersonic parachute fabric, the exact same material NASA uses to land probes on Titan and Mars Rovers on the Martian surface. Inside, you'll find aerogel insulation developed by the same team engineering heat shields for the next Mars Rover mission."
"Vollebak released this Elysium Blue edition exactly 846 days after launching their first Martian Aerogel Jacket, which happens to be the same amount of time it takes to travel from Earth to Mars twice. The attention to detail is absolutely incredible, and it shows how much thought went into not just the technology but the storytelling behind it. The color itself is stunning. While previous editions came in Mercury silver, Stealth Black, and Rover Orange, this Elysium Blue offers something more versatile and wearable."
Vollebak’s Martian Aerogel Jacket uses hypersonic parachute fabric for the outer shell and laser-drilled aerogel insulation developed by the same team engineering Mars heat shields. The materials match those used to land probes on Titan and rovers on Mars, translating aerospace hardware into wearable apparel. The Elysium Blue edition was released 846 days after the first jacket, a period equal to two Earth-to-Mars trips. The outer shell has a soft metallic blue shimmer, black seam taping, and zigzag stitching. Design elements reference Project Mercury spacesuits through aluminized-nylon aesthetics and angled zipper placement. The transparent shell reveals the aerogel technology beneath.
