Designer\u00a0Pauline van Dongen, one of\u00a0E52\u2019s High Tech Piek Awards<\/a>\u00a0winners, has presented a jumpsuit for athletes that is made out of condom material. It is a project in cooperation with\u00a0Skyn Condoms<\/a>. Skynfeel, the patented material of this brand, is an alternative for latex. The video that was made for this project (see below) is part of a campaign for Skyn.

The garment features dragonfly wing-inspired flaps located on the edge of the\u00a0body, constructed from a thin layer of Skynfeel, and reinforced by a geometric laser cut grid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe approach of this project was very conceptual and experimental”, Pauline van Dongen says in the video. “It was really a material research. The Skynfeel material is great to work with. It is soft, thin, and lets you feel everything. We created this specific pattern because with the stretch of the body and the movement of the athlete, the flaps would open up and create these kinds of air pockets that would create lift during his jump.”<\/p>\n
