Bamboo-composite scales inspired by pangolins
Overlapping scales that expand over joints during impact detection and retract during normal movement. Trampoline-style energy return materials absorb and redirect force away from your body.
A parkour athlete jumps off a 15-foot building, lands in a roll, and as they hit the ground, you see their jacket visually expand and lock into place like armor plating microseconds before impact, then instantly soften back to flexible fabric as they stand up and run — all while sensors show the impact force was distributed across their entire back instead of concentrating on their spine.
Sustainable, lightweight scales stronger than steel with natural flexibility
Microsecond-scale response time detects impacts before they reach your body
Trampoline-style materials redirect force away and add power to your movement
