X Bionic Clothing
Summary
The makers of X-Bionic clothes believe there’s a better way to design athletic apparel. They have formulated a way to turn human sweat into energy.
While the temperature that people feel on the outside of their body is important, it is their core body temperature, around the heart and organs that is critical. If the body core temperature goes above 40 degrees Celsius, the individual will no longer be able to control their muscles, and they may even suffer a heart attack or heat stroke.
Regular sports clothing allows people to sweat as they normally would. The clothing wicks away the sweat from the body, and it evaporates from the shirt, rather than from the body – so it doesn’t cool the body. X-Bionic clothing, on the other hand, keeps the sweat lying on the body, and prevents individuals from becoming dehydrated. Wicking moisture away from the skin is actually a bad thing.
