The following are examples of Vollebak products, include the aforementioned materials: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Egyptian Wrap: \u201c Five thousand years ago, the Egyptians developed a method to turn the nettle into fibers. It was woven into a durable, comfortable fabric that resists heat and humidity. The same fabric was used to wrap mummies. If those threads lasted 5 millennia, there\u2019s no reason Vollebak\u2019s shirt won\u2019t. The fabric, now commonly known as \u2018ramie\u2019 is mostly seen being used to build parachutes\u2026 and it\u2019s the primary fabric used in Vollebak\u2019s Off Grid shirt.\u201d(Sheth 2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mars Jacket: \u201cMade out of five layers of aluminized Mylar, with a surface layer of Teflon, Kevlar and Nomex. It\u2019s the ultimate example of the form following function. The inside is lined with high stretch Cordura, so it\u2019s incredibly soft, snug, highly elastic and windproof.\u201d (Vollebak 2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Up to this point, my research has focused on rehydration methods. However, in an effort to reexamine the problem, a perspective shift towards evaluating methods of dehydration prevention could prove beneficial. For instance, textiles possessing heat resistant characteristics, may slow the influence of temperature on dehydration. If there is an validity to this kind of process, then it\u2019s possible for material choice to inform the physicality of the design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vollebak\u2019s investment into comfortability would also be a valuable attribute to apply to any wearable. Specifically, my investigation would revolve around highly elastic materials and its relation to comfortability. These characteristics could translate to a more personalized, tighter fit which may make all the difference in the high speed pace of soccer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sheth, Sarang. \u201cThis Shirt Was Made from the Same Fabric Used by Egyptians to Wrap Mummies… and It’ll Last Decades – Yanko Design.\u201d Yanko Design – Modern Industrial Design News<\/em>, 31 Aug. 2022, https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/08\/31\/this-shirt-was-made-from-the-same-fabric-used-by-egyptians-to-wrap-mummies-and-itll-last-decades\/.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary “Vollebak, the London-based alternative clothing brand is known for working with kinds of materials that you\u2019d never find at your local GAP or Forever 21.
