HOPE WEAR

Freeing people from heat

This project sheds light on new possibilities in fashion by cutting near-infrared light, which is known to cause heat fatigue,
and further lowering the temperature inside clothing.
Focusing on the enjoyment and lifestyles that are gradually being lost due to global boiling, we have collaborated with the speculative fashion laboratory Synflux to create
an apparel prototype that protects and restores
the daily life and culture surrounding us.

Thermographic temperature comparison between standard workwear and HOPE WEAR, showing cooler, blue areas when wearing HOPE WEAR.

The large volume of air drawn into the clothing by the fans of KUCHOFUKU creates a substantial space between the skin and fabric, maximizing SOLAMENT™'s heat-blocking effectiveness. By significantly blocking near-infrared light and allowing airflow to promote sweat evaporation, it achieves a temperature reduction of up to 19.3°C* compared to standard workwear.

*Based on a comparative temperature test conducted under direct sunlight (company's own measurement).

With a two-layer fabric structure, it delivers a remarkable heat-blocking effect. The outer layer features SOLAMENT™, which significantly cuts near-infrared light. The inner layer uses pleated mesh fabric to create space between the skin and the surface, enhancing the performance of SOLAMENT™ and achieving a temperature reduction of up to 3.6°C* compared to standard products.
