British brand Vollebak has launched a golden copper jacket priced at $2000, claiming it can kill germs and viruses upon contact. Originally gaining attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, the jacket is largely made of metal with 59.5% copper, and it has received Time's Best Invention Award. With waterproof, windproof, heat, and electrical conductivity features, it weighs 1.4 kg. Co-founder Steve Tidball explains the design reflects the need for disease-resistant clothing as humanity faces rapid changes like new diseases and climate crises. The jacket is described as 'Mars resident' fashion, but has faced criticism, with Gear Junkie calling it a representation of a billionaire's midlife crisis.
