Xiaomi has today announced its 422nd product under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The product is yet another smart down jacket design that would take you through the winter without stress. Just that this time around, the jacket isn’t just designed for winter but has a three-in-one design which makes it equally suitable for use during spring and summer
The down jacket is developed by Cotton Smith just like the heated goose don jacket and uses the same graphene heating technology as its sibling. This version comes with a crowdfunding price of 599 yuan (~$84) but will retail for 649 yuan ($91) after the crowdfunding exercise.

The jacket comes with several innovative features which include multi-zone heating at the front and back. The two heating zones can also be controlled independently as it has independent dual switch control. The jacket uses a graphene-carbon nanotube heating material which is efficient and heats up very fast. The jacket gets heated up in just 1 second after it is switched on.
There is also a safety feature in place which prevents the skin from getting burnt as the jacket automatically powers off after it is left on for 3 hours. You’ll have to turn it on again to continue using. Also included is a colour-coded button which shows the temperature (53 ° C -red, 48 ° C -purple, 43 ° C- green, 38 ° C- white).
Further, the inner jacket is accompanied by an outer liner which can be detached and worn on its own. The goose down jacket which has a honeycomb design can equally be used separately. The material is said to be highly effective against cold weather while the fabric is water repellent. The jacket can be powered using a power bank as it comes with a USB interface. There is a separate compartment for the power bank.
The jacket is available in black and polar blue.
