Clothes That Adjust to Body Temperature


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, 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.
