ABOUT
Why should we use Nova?
Nova is a game-changing jacket for runners, cyclists and other outdoor enthusiasts. It’s a pain to carry a flashlight or to attach the appropriate reflective gear when heading for a night run. Nova allows people to run freely in any weather condition – which means no excuses. Not only does Nova have excellent safety features, it’s comfortable and stylish.
Who created it?
Having closely worked with community of runners and athletes for over 2 years, NOVA was developed by Twinery, the innovation arm of MAS Holdings, one of the largest sports apparel manufacturers globally
Why are you crowdfunding?
We want to take this product to the next level by bringing it to early adopters who would like to experience the product first hand and co-create with us further. And of course, crowdfunding will help us validate and fund our production.

TECH SPECS
What makes Nova unique?
This is the first time ever that LEDs have been seamlessly integrated into your jacket to make them washable and wearable. Powered by a tiny half ounce battery, the LED LightGuide strips illuminate on demand with a click of a button.
