June Bug Jacket

William Ellery JuneBug Jacket

Iridescent prototype jackets for bug evasion. 

Our research, and that of our peers, suggests beetles use iridescence for predator evasion. We included this principle in our June Bug Jackets to evade the bugs themselves. Lightweight protection against UV, wind, and bugs. Built as prototypes for continued research.
