This is a hoodie but not the ordinary kind of hoodie. The Erynoole Air 1 Anti-smog Hoodie has a hoodie that you can pull up to serve as an anti-smog mask as opposed to just covering your head. And yes, it has a regular head-covering hoodie too – in case you are wondering. Else it wouldn’t be called a hoodie.
Erynoole Air 1 is an anti-smog hoodie that keeps air pollution, such as dust, bacteria, and even bed smells, out of your lungs, and it does so by filtering the air with a nano-fiber fabric inside the long collar of the hoodie. Furthermore, this outerwear is smart and sustainable too.
Via NFC, you can connect your smartphone to the hoodie, and using the companion app, you’d be able to monitor the air quality around you. Erynoole said it will be able to tell you the level of pollution in the air, including the presence of wildfires nearby, and the allergens in the air.
Now, that’s for your well-being. On the sustainability end, the hoodie is made from GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, and believe it or not, it has a step tracker built into it that rewards you for the number of steps you have taken in a period of time. These rewards include planting trees, discounts on the Erynoole website, freebies, and more.
If your interest is piqued, you may learn more about the Erynoole Air 1 Anti-smog Hoodie on Kickstarter where it is being crowdfunded. This high-tech garment does not come cheap though. It will run you back at €160 or about US$169, according to Kickstarter. Meanwhile, you can learn more in the pitch video below.
