Xiaomi also released products under its crowdfunding platform despite the avalanche of products released during the press conference yesterday. The company announced its 407th crowdfunding product – a double-sided smart temperature control goose down jacket 3.0. The jacket is on offer for 499 yuan ($70) during the crowdfunding period. The price will likely get a slight increase after the exercise.

The smart temperature-controlled goose down jacket 3.0 uses 90% high-quality white goose down, layered to resist cold wind intrusion. The fluffy white goose down is said to be warmer than duck down. The jacket is stuffed automatically to ensure it is evenly distributed in order to keep everywhere warm.

The smart temperature control jacket features a smart three-speed temperature control design. The temperature control can be adjusted to suit the ambient temperature or as desired by the user. It can be powered using a power bank and Xiaomi claims a 10,000mAh power bank can deliver continuous heating of the jacket for up to 7 hours, enough to see you through a cold day outdoors.

The jacket also comes with a waterproof fabric texture which makes it suitable for use in the dark or when it rains. The front and back of the fabric are said to have been subjected to level 3 anti-splash treatment. The jacket has reflective strips at the front and back which reflects when the light beam strikes it at night, thus making the wearer visible at night.

This is yet another important product from Xiaomi that would come in useful during winter and other cold seasons. We expect the tech giant to make plans to start shipping these interesting products outside China. For now, it will likely be available only in China. Xiaomi has got a couple of other jackets that are already available overseas via thrid-party retailers like the Uleemark multi-storage jacket.

Xiaomi has teased the launch of what appears to be a jacket through the Weibo account of its sub-brand, Mijia.

The first teaser is of a graph which might be hinting at the jacket’s design.

The second teaser is of a feather which can be translated to mean the jacket will be lightweight.

The third image is a thermal imaging map of the human body with the torso and arms appearing warmer than other parts of the body, which are the parts a jacket will normally cover. We don’t know if it will be a regular jacket that has been designed to keep the heat in for long or if it will have smart features, but we hope to find out when it launches.

All three posters mention the date of launch is tomorrow, 6th of September, at 10 am.
