Helium-10000: The World’s First Inflatable Floating Jacket

Ever thought of a jacket that floats like a balloon in the air? Here is Helium-10000 – the world’s first inflatable jacket that can be puffed up with helium. All you need is a string to hold it to let it float above you as you move.

Designer Andrew Kostman has put great effort into creating this one-of-a-kind jacket that’s super lightweight and protects you from chilly weather during extreme weather conditions.

Details are currently scant, with the HELIUM-10000 simply described as the “first inflatable helium jacket designed in Italy and made in Japan”.

Aside from one particularly iridescent colorway, the jacket looks similar to a multitude of puffy outerwear already available…except “puffier”. But while the HELIUM-10000 is intended to be worn normally like any jacket, it’s also outfitted to be filled with the element of its namesake, inflating and floating like a stringed party balloon when removed (we’d admit a level of disappointment discovering the jacket doesn’t allow its wearer to float like a balloon with the HELIUM-10000 jacket on).

This puffer jacket is sure to win attention from various corners due to its unique features and ultra-modern design that allows complete freedom to the wearer.

Helium-10000 doesn’t need to be packed in your travel bag, so it leaves plenty of space in your bag for keeping other essentials you might need on the go.

Inspiration behind the inflatable floating jacket

Andrew Kostman felt inspired by the helium inflation mechanism and the idea of a child carrying a balloon. The idea appeared to him as the most workable solution to end the struggle people endure while packing winter clothes.

The balloon-like feature offers comfort and ease of access while on a road trip, hike, or trek. Meaning, the first set of buyers are going to be those who love to grapple with adventure on a regular basis. The designer hasn’t yet disclosed the secret material that makes this jacket lightweight.

Before the launch of this outerwear, fashion houses everywhere were seen selling puffer jackets that became an instant hit with the fashion-conscious people. Scaling the benefits you get in a puffer jacket with inflation feature, Andrew Kostman has truly created outerwear that not only keeps you warm but also proves to be of massive help in making your life simpler.

HELIUM-10000 has been developed with a material that’s “top secret” durable and ultra-light, designed to withstand the helium’s pressure. And it is precisely thanks to this material that “the jacket inflates”. And if it collapses? No problem.

Thanks to a cylinder that is included in packing, you can perform various refills over time. An idea as simple as it is innovative, as shown by the concept that accompanies the project’s announcement, seems to unite the timeless look of the puffer jacket with a balloon and traditional.

To demonstrate the usefulness of the jacket, Andrew has launched another product ‘Fury Rocket,’ a Bluetooth music box that represents the idea of Helium-10000. The rocket-shaped speaker has a miniature child holding an inflated jacket suspended above him.
