Temperature-Controlling Reversible Jackets

The Polychrome Jacket Controls Body Temperature

— March 5, 2014 — Fashion
The polychrome jacket is going to be one of the biggest new innovations for sports. The jacket is reversible and both sides do boast different temperature-controlling features.The polychrome jacket was developed by polychromeLAB and will help with maintaining an even body temperature.

When playing a sport, athletes often have warm up jackets or sweaters and also need to take cool-down periods between quarters, at practice or after games. This polychrome jacket does all of that by just switching sides.

The body heating side works by using UV rays, while body temperature is reflected back to the body. When worn for cooling down, the opposite is present and the material is reflective to such rays, keeping the body cool. Athletes will now have complete control over their body temperatures while playing their sports.
Trend Themes
1. Temperature-controlled Clothing - Opportunity for garment manufacturers to create new lines of reversible clothing for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts with temperature-controlling features.
2. Sport-specific Clothing - Opportunity for companies to develop customizable temperature-controlling clothing and accessories for different sports such as football, basketball, and soccer.
3. Uv-reflective Clothing - Opportunity for companies to develop clothing that reflects UV rays and promotes safe sun exposure while also helping to regulate body temperature.
Industry Implications
1. Sporting Goods - Opportunity for sporting goods manufacturers to add temperature-controlling apparel to their product lines in order to enhance performance and comfort for athletes.
2. Fashion - Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate temperature-controlling fabric technology into their clothing and outerwear lines to create fashionable yet practical pieces for consumers.
3. Health and Wellness - Opportunity for companies in the health and wellness industry to partner with garment manufacturers to create clothing that not only regulates body temperature but also promotes overall wellbeing through features such as UV protection.
