Technology

Cooling Fabrics – Tested, Approved, Working!

PERFORMANCE DAYS, Munich

Presentation Area, Hall 7, 2nd Floor

Thursday 19th April 2018

09:45 - 10:45 CEST

The talk will focus on the science behind thermophysiological cooling and the methods to quantify the evaporative cooling power of performance fabrics including WATson, Hohenstein’s proprietary technology that accurately measures a fabric’s claimed evaporative heat loss, i.e., cooling power. This test system can replicate a wide variety of custom climates and set-ups while measuring the textile’s ability to process moisture (sweat) and support the evaporative heat loss. The result is a comprehensive dataset that reliably measures how products will perform once consumers wear them in real life.
