The upshot of a collaboration among 2A-NYGUARD, COATS, HEIQ, VAGOTEX and SITIP, JUST 5 is an ingenious 'viroblocked' jacket that provides the best garment solution for resuming normal life by protecting the wearer, loved ones and everyone encountered.
JUST5 is a multi-functional and fashionable jacket with every component powered by HeiQ Viroblock to protect them from spoilage by contaminating microorganisms in just five minutes. The treatment does not protect the wearer or others against food-borne (or disease-causing) bacteria. But the jacket sets up a highly effective barrier to shield the wearer from spoiling contaminants in the surrounding.
Designed and Developed for the Unstoppables
JUST5 is an initiative
by 5 leading material manufacturers and features many life-enhancing gadgets.
All the components of JUST5 jacket have been developed by leading companies in
textile innovation. All components are individually available for any apparel
or home textile brands to create their own innovations.
