Fire and ice: a closer look at the thermo-reactive STONE ISLAND AW17 OVERHEAD ICE JACKET

The thermo-reactive STONE ISLAND AW17 OVERHEAD ICE JACKET brings the heat (literally) for winter.

The Italian maestros at Stone Island continue to push the envelope when it comes to fabric innovation, and this season they’ve gone all-out with a selection of thermo-reactive garments that change colour and pattern when the temperature plummets. The Overhead Ice Jacket is one of the highlights of the new collection, coming in soft grey with contrasting black branding and trims and an unusual asymmetric neck opening. So far so banging, but it’s the secret magic trick that makes this such an exceptional item: when it gets really cold, the thermo-reactive material changes to reveal this season’s Stone Island Check Grid Camo pattern, an intricate new take on classic digi-camo which adds an ever-changing new layer to this standout technical piece. Be warned, all this wizardry comes at a higher price point than your average overhead jacket – but if you want something really unique that combines technical excellence with aesthetic innovation, this will tick all your boxes.
