'Graphene-X,' the company known for weaving graphene into everyday clothing, launched a crowdfunding campaign for the 'All Rounder Pants.' The All Rounder Pants are marketed as pants that combine the benefits of work pants, lounge pants, and casual wear all in one wearable. These pants boast graphene integrated into the fabric, which allows for increased durability over traditional clothes at a lighter weight than durable alternatives.
The All Rounder Pants weigh only 320 grams, which is 47% less than the average pair of work pants, resulting in more stamina and more comfort for trades workers. The All Rounder Pants boast 10 unique features unseen to the eye. The pants are durable and lightweight, they are easy to wash and they dry within minutes, they automatically repel stains and water, they offer UV ray protection, and they can pack down incredibly small into a cargo case.
The pants can be picked up via Graphene-X's Kickstarter page for $99 USD.
