This Graphene Blanket that can Automatically Regulate Temperature is on a Massive Holiday Sale

Posted on by

You might as well call it a wearable thermostat because the HILU Blanket can keep you warm in the cold, and keep you cool in the hot months. Designed to be the kind of blanket you can use all year round, HILU’s unique thermoregulating properties can be attributed to the use of a single innovative material – Graphene. Known for its super-conductivity, the pure graphene fibers within the HILU blanket intuitively work to keep you warm or cool based on your body temperature. The blanket works entirely without electricity, adapts to your needs, and can simultaneously keep one half of the bed warm while keeping the other half cool! Whether you’re looking for a neat Christmas gift, or just looking to cut down your energy bills by not cranking the thermostat up this winter, the HILU is a perfect alternative to that stuffy, sweaty comforter… and it’s currently on a massive discount for the holiday season.

HILU graphene-made blanket adjusts to your body temperature so you can sleep all night comfortably in every season.

Why is it noteworthy?

A blanket that does the job of a Thermostat – the graphene fibers in the HILU blanket work to keep you comfortable all year round. The blanket’s built to be durable, anti-microbial, and odor-resistant, with over 10,000 happy customers!

What we like

  • Will warm or cool you depending on the weather and your body temperature
  • Soft, hypoallergenic, and anti-bacterial
  • 30-day trial period and 10-year limited manufacturing warranty

What we dislike

  • The lack of color options beyond silver
  • No single-bed size for smaller beds

The world’s first pure graphene blanket, HILU possesses some unique qualities. It can regulate temperatures better than any other fabric, switching from hot to cold based on your own body temperature. That means in the summers, it cools your body down, and in winter, it warms you up. More importantly, the temperature regulation is hyper-localized too, which means for two people sharing the same blanket, it can keep one warm and the other cool or vice versa. That aside, the presence of graphene fibers allows the HILU blanket to be naturally sweat and odor-resistant, while also being anti-bacterial. Given the sheer strength of graphene as a material, the HILU blanket is built to be incredibly durable too (the company touts an unmatched warranty).

Made of genuine graphene fibers, HILU blankets are the strongest and most durable in the market.

Crafted from graphene fiber, HILU’s fabric construction begins with the dissolution of graphite into liquid graphene crystals using a specialized wet spinning process. These liquid crystals are then dried to form the fibers, which are skillfully woven together using Patented Adaptex Technology. The result is a remarkable blanket that not only senses and adapts to your body temperature but also excels in other essential aspects of blanket design, such as being soft, comfortable, hypoallergenic, and even OEKO-TEX100 certified. Furthermore, the use of graphene in the construction ensures exceptional durability, making your HILU blanket long-lasting and incredibly durable.

The blanket’s thermoregulating feature gives it the unique distinction of being a blanket you can use all around the year, in any weather. When you’re cold, the fibers dissipate heat to raise your body temperature, and when you’re hot, the graphene fibers absorb heat from your body, cooling you down, reducing stuffiness or humidity, and keeping you dry and sweat-free all night long. Even if you do sweat, the graphene fibers are naturally anti-bacterial, allowing your blanket to remain fresh for weeks (although we do recommend occasional washes!) To wash your blanket, just run it on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble low dry and your HILU is as good as new!

The HILU blanket comes in both Queen and King sizes, backed by its maker’s impressive 10-year limited manufacturing warranty. The blanket itself comes in a gorgeous neutral satin grey color, although HILU does offer color customization by way of stitch colors, available in gray, blue, and green to match your room’s decor. Both the Queen and King blankets are on a hefty discount exclusive to YD readers, and if you want, HILU offers a graphene + memory foam sleeping mask to match your blanket!

This full-body hoodie made from thermoregulating graphene fibers can naturally keep you warm in winters

A wonder material in its own right, Graphene is known for its unique strength and durability properties… however it’s also the world’s fastest known conductor of heat. Using that feature to its benefit, this graphene hoodie-suit can naturally keep you warm in the winter by channeling your body heat and using it to heat you up further. Meet Huggi, an incredibly comfortable piece of loungewear that’s naturally thermoregulating, breathable, quick-drying, and anti-microbial.

The Huggi is built on the same premise as the Comfy hoodie from Shark Tank, except it uses a novel kind of material in its construction. Instead of the boring cotton, wool, or polyester, Huggi uses 90% graphene content fiber in its fabric. The cloth is still as soft as any other fabric found on hoodies… except unlike cotton and wool hoodies that take over ten minutes to properly warm you up, Huggi does so in mere seconds, and it keeps you warm regardless of what the ambient temperature is. It does so by trapping your body heat and relaying it back to you, creating almost like a cozy cocoon of your own personal body heat, even in temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F).

The design of the Huggi envelopes you from head to toe in the graphene-fiber fabric, giving you a sense of warmth and comfort at all times. The long design means you can wear the Huggi as loungewear (yes, without any pants on!), and the extra-large hoodie means you can wear it with any kind of hair, while the cross-neck design keeps your neck shielded from the cold the way a scarf would. My favorite part? The fact that the Huggi actually has pockets! Actual deep pockets that are big enough to fit a phone, remote control, even perhaps a tiny bottle of warm water to casually sip on through the day.

Extra large hood and cross neck design.

The Huggi comes in two sizes and three colors – Charcoal, Beige, and Cherry Blossom. The fabric has natural anti-microbial properties, which means you can wear your Huggi for days without needing to wash it… however when you DO need to, simply chuck the Huggi in the washing machine and it’ll be as good as new again!

Graphene-coated clothing exists and we’re finally in the future

Posted on by

Part jacket, part science experiment, this is perhaps Vollebak’s most ambitious project yet… and that’s after making jackets that can last on Mars, and apparel that absorbs light and glows in the dark. Graphene is one of science’s most wondrous materials. It’s incredibly light yet unbelievably tough, and consists of literally a single layer of carbon atoms bound together in their honeycomb structure. In theory, graphene apparel could one day make humans bulletproof, and the material has the ability to store infinite amounts of thermal energy. It also conducts electricity, repels bacteria, and dissipates your body’s excess humidity. Apart from the fact that it’s incredibly hard to come by in large quantities, it’s perhaps the perfect material for apparel. So in true VolleBak fashion, the adventure-clothing company managed to actually produce a series of these Graphene Jackets.

The Graphene Jacket from VolleBak is two-sided, with one being coated with the wonder-material, and the other being super-stretch super-strength nylon. The reversible jacket can be worn both ways, giving it the ability to absorb and handle heat in unusual ways. According to physicists at the Max Planck Institute, graphene has the ability to store unlimited amounts of heat, making the jacket practically a radiator that you can wear in the cold. When the graphene-coated part of the jacket faces outwards, it absorbs any thermal energy it is exposed to (be it anything from the sun to a nearby fireplace). Reverse the jacket to face the graphene layer inwards (towards your skin), and the jacket’s warmth radiates to your body, keeping you warm for long periods of time. Along with heat, graphene is a brilliant conductor of electricity too, and in most of VolleBak’s prototype tests, they could literally light a bulb by passing current through the jacket, but the final iteration of the jacket comes with an increased resistance to electricity, making it safe for humans to wear.

The Graphene Jacket, much like most of Volleback’s outdoor gear, is both waterproof and breathable. The graphene lining (I really am saying graphene a lot, aren’t I?) lowers humidity on your epidermis, making you perspire less, and the super-material even prevents bacterial-growth, so in theory, the jacket never smells or grows musty, no matter how much you wear it. As well as being bacteriostatic, the graphene membrane is also known to be hypoallergenic, anti-static, and is certified as non-toxic.

Graphene, like I mentioned earlier, is an incredibly tough and expensive material to come by, which is why the jacket exists only as a super-limited edition. In fact, the material is so expensive, all linings and pockets were laser-cut to prevent material wastage caused by cutting, trimming, and stitching seams into the clothing. The jacket, for now, comprises just a single-cell layer of graphene, which isn’t enough to stop bullets, but is more than capable of resisting wear and tear, and has passed all of VolleBak’s rigorous abrasion and puncture tests. Poised to be the future of more than just clothing, graphene holds the potential to transform almost every industry from space travel to electronics. I mean, after all it’s the only material to have its own Nobel Prize.
