MoMA Exclusive: Here’s a smart way to stay warm this fall and winter. The Mercury Intelligent Heated Jacket 3.0 is the new and improved version of the original 2018 design, which was the world’s first intelligent heated jacket. Unlike the original which required an app and mobile device to operate, the Mercury Jacket 3.0 has all of its technology built right into the jacket.
The 3.0 heats up faster, reaches a warmer temperature and has a longer battery life. This water-resistant design is also made from sustainable materials: 96 post-consumer plastic bottles are recycled for the polyester material of the jacket, while recycled coffee grinds from 112 coffee beans are used to create the fabric for the insulated lining.
Features of the Mercury Intelligent Heated Jacket 3.0 include:
- Made from 100% recycled polyester produced from post-consumer plastic bottles.
- Using battery-powered heating panels, the Mercury adjusts the amount of heat it outputs intelligently based on your activity level.
- An accelerometer and small microcontroller learn your heating preferences over time.
- Lightweight design made for inter-season wear, so you can stay warm no matter where you are.
- Developed by Ministry of Supply, founded at MIT in 2012 and Climate Neutral Certified, and engineered with the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab.
- 3.5x more heat than the original version thanks to 36-watt carbon-fiber heating panels.
- 2x faster heating using the new USB-C power delivery system.
- Charges via USB-C cable (included) to 80% in 90 minutes (100% in 3 hours) with 2.5 hours of usage time when used at 50% power.
- Stylish circle-quilted design.
- The insulated lining is made from recycled coffee grinds.
- Sizes Small through X-Large.
