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, 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.
An Israeli clothing manufacturer has designed a
line of clothing using a fabric that
automatically adjusts to a wearer's personal body
heat.
