AG Coat is a jacket designed with sustainable materials from algae. The torso is made of seaweed leather manufactured with Kelp and agar agar. This material creates a hydrophobic transparent layer over the clothes, which simultaneously helps protect the user from the cold. In addition, the sleeves are made of Knotted Wrack seaweed-based wool. This material has ayurvedic properties, which provide small amounts of vitamin E and Calcium, as well as anti-inflammatory properties when in contact with the skin. Finally, the entire jacket uses sustainable, eco-friendly, and biodegradable materials.
