In Taiwan, outdoor gear brand COOR is using yarn made from coffee grounds to manufacture an extremely multifunctional jacket. 

Dubbed HELIX Multi-Climate 3-in-1, the jacket material made by Singtex using coffee waste sourced from Starbucks as raw material. A detachable hoodie is included if the wearer finds themselves in the cold or rain, while a “silver-infused” facemask can be employed when in polluted cities or looking to avoid germs. HELIX also boasts a whopping 13 pockets, phone tether, whistle for emergencies, reflective technologies to help rescue teams find you in the event of an emergency, and a detachable hydration pouch with straw. 

An upgrade includes a STORMFLEECE inner garment also made using Singtex fabric.  

COOR is running a Kickstarter campaign for the coat.
