Arctic Cyberpunk Naturalist

madrats

Outerwear for the long Canadian dark. Made from recycled and bio-based materials, heated by graphene, and lit by your own movement. Every light means something — clothing that lights up with function.

The Lit Line

Ten pieces. One light language across all of them.

How it works — honestly

Power from you, heat from a battery

We don't promise to charge your phone from a walk — physics says no. A phone needs watts; clothing harvests microwatts to milliwatts. That's exactly enough to make your garment talk in light.

Kinetic / triboelectric

When two different materials touch and separate — sleeve on torso, heel on ground — charge transfers (the triboelectric effect). Graphene-coated textile layers collect it. Output: microwatts to low milliwatts while moving.

µW–mW

Thermoelectric

Warm skin vs. −25°C air is a big temperature gap. Thermoelectric patches turn that gap into a small, steady trickle — the colder it is, the more you make. Enough for sensors, not heaters.

µW–low mW

Graphene heating

Thin graphene-ink heating film spreads warmth evenly and flexes with fabric. Heating takes watts, so it runs from a small removable USB-C battery you charge at home — and pull out before washing.

~5–10 W

The light language

Harvested energy fills a tiny buffer cell that drives efficient LEDs at low duty cycle plus temperature, light and motion sensors. Each colour has one meaning across the whole line.

Built from nature, made for tomorrow

Eco by design

Recycled first

Shells, fleece and fill from recycled nylon, polyester and down. No virgin petro-fabrics where a recycled one exists.

Bio-based where it counts

Mycelium leather, kapok and cattail insulation, merino, natural lichen dyes, PFAS-free water repellency.

Removable electronics

Batteries and light modules unclip for washing, repair and end-of-life recycling — the fabric and the tech are separated by design.

Modular = fewer garments

One shell, swappable layers. Buy less, layer more, repair forever. Take-back program planned at launch.
