The future in fashion is here; these techno-savvy textiles ensure that our future athletes, civilians and soldiers are kept safe.
From color-changing molecular fabric that reflects all light to fireproof UnderArmor, the military has contributed a number of innovative protective clothing. Scientific researchers have harnessed nanotechnology principles to create water-repelling fabrics and self-cleaning textiles.
We don't know when these breakthrough futuristic fabrics will hit the market, but when they do, they're poised to revolutionize clothing and fabric as we know it.
