How it works

How the capes work

Our Air Hero capes come with a powerful insert called theBreath®. This is an innovative, patented fabric that’s designed to absorb and disaggregate harmful particles in the air. The air passes through the fabric mesh which traps the pollution molecules and prevents them from being released. They are then absorbed and broken up leaving the cleaner, more breathable air to continue its natural cycle. Built into the cape design, theBreath® material gives each cape the power to remove two petrol or four diesel cars’ worth of pollution over a year.

The benefits of walking over driving

There are great benefits to walking to school, both to children's and parents' health, as well as being a more sustainable choice for the planet.

Children who walk to school are fitter and do better in class because they arrive refreshed and ready to learn.

The daily school run is responsible for creating half a million tonnes of CO2 per year. That’s more than some small countries.

During peak morning traffic, one in five cars are taking children to school. This contributes to congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions.
