Fox News reports that BMW's Designworks division has designed a concept for a travel trailer using a new fabric developed by The North Face called Futurelight. Futurelight is said to be the “most advanced, breathable, waterproof material.” BMW says the design of the concept vehicle was inspired by a fabric-covered concept car it once made called Gina, and equipped the trailer with a couch, table and enough room for two to sleep in.
Fox News writer Gary Gastelu relayed in his article: "[Futurelight] is made through a process known as nanospinning, which creates nano-sized holes the fabric that keep water out, but allow air to permeate. According to The North Face, it’s lighter and more packable than traditional breathable waterproof materials. BMW says there are no plans to put it into production yet, but the first clothing made from Futurelight will be available later this year.
