Zerod comes in 2 colors –
Zerod is laminated with a soft-shell (outer fabric), TPU/membrane (in between) and fleece (inner fabric) to block out harsh winds and rain while providing essential warmth.
TPU (membrane):WP/MP 20,000/20,000 (JIS)
We are using an Eco Bionic coating (PFC Free coating) which repels water with no added chemicals. (PFCs are frequently used as durable water-repellent (DWR), which actually contain fluorocarbons or PFCs that have been shown to be a hormone disruptor.)
PFC Free Coating + Membrane = keeps you dry for over an hour, even in heavy rain.
We have also made the outer shell extremely soft to make it both look and feel like a trench coat.

Actually, we are the first design team to add another 2.5 layers within the same jacket as a lining, making the Zerod a unique 3+2.5 layer jacket.
We are not the first ones to apply graphene technology to a jacket. However, we are definitely the first one to bring it to the market at the lowest price.
OK, this is not a magic! The light bulb presentation demonstrates the membrane, which is made from graphene.
Although Graphene is highly conductive, the graphene membrane is 100% safe. It’s the perfect solution to protect against electrostatic discharges (Anti-Static), especially in cold and dry weather.
Graphene is one of the natural methods used to regulate skin temperature and increase it [in chilly/cold temperatures] or decrease it [in warm/hot temperatures] by an average of 2°C. It does this by evenly spreading heat from the warmer parts of your body like your chest and back to the other colder parts. It’ll make you “feel warmer” in chilly/cold temperatures while you’ll “feel cooler” in warm/hot temperature.
Sweat contains bacteria that quickly grows and makes the clothes smell. Inherently, graphene is bacteriostatic, which means bacteria can’t grow or reproduce on its surface, giving Zerod anti-bacteria and anti-odor properties.

In total, Zerod has 10 pockets, allowing users to carry extra items and making it very convenient to wear:
The removable hood adds extra protection during bad weather and can be easily taken off to transform Zerod into a trench coat.
We also designed the hood zip to make it “invisible” to give more of a trench coat look when you wear Zerod with the stand-up collar without the hood. (You can’t see the zipper on the collar).
To bring extra warmth, Zerod comes with a detachable inner down jacket which you can easily zip on or off the Zerod, or even wear it separately.
We have elegantly designed the inner jacket, from the inside to the outside, so that it outperforms most of the ultra-light jackets on the market.
“THERMOLITE® T-Down EcoMade insulation provides the Active-Outdoor industry with a compelling new generation of recycled synthetic fiber engineered for down replacement. THERMOLITE® T-Down EcoMade insulation is GRS approved and made from 100% recycled PET fiber.”
This may sound crazy, but we have even integrated the PFC Free Coating, the (20k/20k) Membrane, into the inner jacket to make it water-resistant, waterproof and down-proof.
Moreover, the whole jacket is seam taping.

Indeed! What you see is what you get.
– Produced with a minimum impact on people and the environment;
– Made from approved chemical products and raw material.
– MADE FROM RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES
– Insulation that is made from a minimum of 35% recycled resources such as plastic bottles.
You can choose colors, submit shipping information and purchase more than one jacket in the survey after the campaign.
– Sleeve: Comfortably bend your arm [about 90 degrees] and measure from the shoulder [along the outer side of your arm] to the wrist.
For the rest of measures, there is nothing particular. You can check with any YouTube videos if you have any questions. Make sure your tape measure is straight and snug around the body. DO NOT pull it tight [We are not selling underwear :-) ].
– Chest / Bust
– Waist
– Hips
At Texlab, we partner with the world’s leading textile suppliers and integrate cutting-edge technology into our superbly designed products. The Zerod idea actually originated from the wardrobe of Kevin, who’s an entrepreneur as well as an outdoor enthusiast. He had half filled up his wardrobe with trench coat jackets, which he used for business, and half with performance jackets which were for his hobbies and daily use. The problem was that his trench coats couldn’t handle the extra cold, or heavy rain, when he was out for business, whereas, in the meantime, the performance jackets did not match the suit and tie look and made him look unprofessional. We were also inspired by the detachable liners of the performance jackets and integrated that design into the Zerod, making it a performance jacket with a trench coat look, and which can be worn in Spring, Fall and Winter.
This project is promoted by Jellop, the ad tech power behind the best Kickstarters with 1000+ successful Kickstarter projects with over $430M raised between them.

Our team is made up of senior fashion designers and we’ve spent many hours of designing to make sure that every single Zerod is perfect, which means we are dedicated to delivering the best quality products. We are confident that Zerod will exceed your expectations. However,, there are always unforeseen risks and challenges when creating a new product. We have studied and revised the pain points people have with crowdfunding campaigns, and we found that a delay in delivery is a frequent source of confusion for backers. In our case, the factory we are working with has more than 20 years of manufacturing experience, so we are committed to delivering on-time products. Plus, we are choosing OFF SEASON PRODUCTION to decrease both the manufacturing cost and the risk of delay delivery. All in all, we are dedicated to delivering the best quality products on-time, and we greatly appreciate you for being on this journey with us!
