Using HYDRO_BOT technology developed by researchers in Switzerland, a company has developed a ski jacket that removes sweat from the inner clothing and transports it out of the jacket eliminating the moisture trapped in the inner clothing. This ensures the body spend minimal energy to stay warm. The jacket is easy to switch on and off using the integrated control unit or the iPhone & Android app. HYDRO_BOT technology consists of three layers: a membrane of billions of pores per square meter surrounded by an electrically conductive fabric. By means of a small electrical impulse, the pores turn into micro-pumps that actively conduct moisture away from the body quickly and efficiently…read more.
Hot fun in the cold: During winter sports, the body produces a lot of moisture. Nevertheless, new functional clothing ensures a pleasantly warm and dry microclimate. Credit: KJUS
