Material
DWR treated recycled stretch-woven used throughout. Both soft to the touch and durable, the material provides superior protection without compromising comfort and fit. Working with different construction techniques, the material, along with performance mesh, serves as  great base for heat transfer, seam tape, and nylon filament.
Process
Inspired by different processes and how they can be combined, a large amount exploration was done to find a reliable yet minimal aesthetic. Through prototyping several rounds of 3-D printing with seam taping and different pattering, I was able achieve my desired function and aesthetic without compromising construction.
