The next time you bring the heat, your clothes might recycle it back to you.
British sports apparel company KYMIRA was at South by Southwest in Austin last weekend demoing its NASA-inspired technology to an American audience. KYMIRA’s fabric is designed to absorb heat and infrared radiation from an athlete’s body, then emit that back to the athlete at a different infrared wavelength. The idea behind that is that infrared light can stimulate processes within the body that increase circulation and decrease pain—it’s the same concept behind New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s athlete recovery sleepwear line with Under Armour.
