Soon, you could have a soft, breathable raincoat: Here's how

American recreation product company The North Face has created, what it claims to be, the most breathable jacket ever produced.

The garment, dubbed Futurelight, has been designed with a unique 'nanospinning' technology that lets more air to pass through the fabric, offering more venting than any other modern-day raincoat or waterproof jacket.

So, it will be far more comfortable than you could imagine.

Futurelight jackets look just like the normal ones but are fairly lighter.

According to the folks at Engadget, who tried on these products, the jackets are soft and as light as a windcheater.

They tried the 'Flight' series of the jacket, which has been designed for hiking or running, but if you need something slightly heavier, there's also the Steep and Summit series.

Along with comfort and ventilation, The North Face's Futurelight jackets also promise environment friendliness.

Essentially, the company has said that all of its products will be manufactured from recycled materials at a solar-powered plant.

In addition to this, they will follow a process that will cut the consumption of chemicals that are harmful for the environment.

Futurelight jackets are comfortable and tempting but they won't come cheap, at least not by Indian market standards.

Specifically, the 'Flight' series of the collection starts at $280, which is about Rs. 20,000 in India. The price increases according to the design and collection you will choose.

Also, in the future, the company will use the same fabric in products like gloves, tents, too.
