The Scoop: Who (or What) is Herman Venske?

Price point:

$210 Why it’s exclusive: Uses a phase-change material (PCM) that was originally developed for firefighting gear. The Terra Cooling feels cold to the touch even in 95°F heat. However, the manufacturing process for the PCM microcapsules is so expensive and failure-prone that Herman Venske only releases 300 units per batch. Each sleeve includes a QR code woven into the hem that authenticates the batch number and allows you to track the garment’s production journey.
