Israeli Co. Produces Clothes That Adjust to Body Temperature

(arutzsheva)
An Israeli clothing manufacturer has designed a line of clothing using a fabric that automatically adjusts to a wearer’s personal body heat.

The Israel company Bagir is using a high technology wool blend designed to maintain a wearer’s comfort level regardless of the temperature of his surroundings.

The special fabric was created by Bagir's sister company, Polgat Textiles, Globes reports. A specialist in developing unique fabrics for apparel manufacturers, Polgat combined wool with a technology developed for NASA called “Smart Fabric Technology.” The special technology contains patented micro-encapsulated phase-change materials, called Thermocules, that absorb, store and release heat - maintaining a balance in temperature.

Outlast Technologies, the developer of the Smart Fabric Technology, issued Polgat the exclusive global license on all wool blend fabrication.

Polgat CEO Ofer Gilboa told Globes that the high-tech capability has been introduced into a collection of classically tailored suits being marketed by men's haberdashery chain Jos. A. Bank, located throughout the United States.

The suits are being marketed under the "Stays Cool" label, and Jos. A. Bank staff report excellent sales on the line so far.
