Problem
Description
For women who travel in
two wheelers, it is a
constant struggle to
protect themselves from
the heat and dust.
The existing coverage
clothes are very difficult
and time consuming to
wear.
DESIGN THINKING
This new single piece sun
and dust protection wear
is easy to wear and also
provides full coverage
from heat and dust.
Target
Audience
• Women who regularly travel to work
or college in two wheelers in humid
climates and in a dusty environment.
DESIGN THINKING
• Women who struggle with wearing
gloves, scarves, shrugs and add on
layers above their clothes to protect
themselves from heat and dust.
Scope of the
project
The garment has high scope
for success because it is a
major issue among women
when it comes to skincare
and air pollutants and sun
tans are something most
women try to avoid and thus
this garment will come as
very useful and less time
DESIGN THINKING consuming to wear.
