Have you ever felt like your clothes were sticking to you during a workout? Or maybe you’ve experienced that uncomfortable, sweaty feeling when exercising in hot weather? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with finding the right clothing for hot weather activities.
Let’s explore how to choose the best cooling apparel for hot weather, so you can stay comfortable and focused on your workout.
Understanding Cooling Fabrics Technology
Cooling fabrics are designed to help regulate your body temperature and keep you feeling fresh, even in hot and humid conditions. These fabrics work through various mechanisms to keep you cool and comfortable. Let’s dive into some of the most innovative cooling fabric technologies:
1. Moisture-Wicking Synthetic Fabrics: 8C Microporous Technology
One of the most advanced moisture-wicking technologies is the 8C Microporous structure. This innovative design features:
– A special 8C groove structure in the fiber
– A 3D technology that creates a three-dimensional structure inside and outside the fiber
– A fourfold siphon effect for superior moisture management
How it works:
– The 8C groove structure allows sweat to spread quickly to the fabric’s surface
– Air convection and water evaporation remove heat and moisture from the body
– The 3D structure enhances the fabric’s ability to absorb, conduct, diffuse, and evaporate moisture
Benefits:
– Ultra-light and fluffy texture
– Highly breathable and comfortable
– Efficient microclimate regulation
– Rapid drying capability
The 8C microporous technology is particularly effective for high-intensity activities like cycling and jogging, where significant sweating occurs. It’s also suitable for lighter activities such as yoga, where it helps maintain comfort by quickly spreading minimal sweat.
2. Specially Engineered Cooling Textiles: Nano Cooling Powder in Polyester/Nylon
icSnow® technology is an innovative cooling yarn solution that incorporates nano-cooling powders including Mica, Crystal, and Jade are incorporated into the PET or PA ( Polyester or Nylon) masterbatch, then we can extrude the permanent cooling touch yarns.
How it works:
– Nano cooling powder is perfectly integrated with polyester or nylon fibers
– Provides an instant cooling effect when in contact with the skin
– Continuously absorbs body heat, maintaining a cool and comfortable feeling
Key features:
– Qmax value > 0.2 W/cm², demonstrating excellent cooling performance
– Rapid moisture absorption and wicking for effective moisture management
– Antibacterial and odor-resistant properties to keep fabrics fresh—when we combine antibacterial nanopowders together.
– Excellent wash resistance, maintaining good performance after 50+ washes
Suitable scenarios:
– High-intensity sports and training apparel
– Yoga and fitness wear
– Outdoor sports equipment
– Daily wear, especially in hot and humid climatic conditions
3. Natural permanent cooling touch yarn: Polyethylene
Polyethylene provides a natural cooling sensation without the need for any additional cooling substances.
How it works:
– The molecular structure and high thermal conductivity of Polyethylene naturally absorb and dissipate heat
– Large fiber surface area enhances heat dissipation
– Low moisture absorption helps maintain a dry feel
Key features:
– Qmax value > 0.2 W/cm², exhibiting excellent cooling performance
– Lightweight design, reducing fabric weight by 30-50%
– Excellent strength and durability
–Low carbon. (The fabric produces a “cool” touch when it touches the skin and can conduct heat quickly. If you use it in an air-conditioned room, you will feel colder and colder, so you can turn up the air-conditioning temperature by 2-3 degrees to save energy.)
Suitable scenarios:
– Sports apparel, especially for activities requiring lightweight gear
– Outdoor equipment and sun-protective clothing
– Underwear and sleepwear
– Workwear, particularly for use in high-temperature environments
A Real-World Challenge
Share a real case from our customer located in Malaysia to see how we find an excellent solution for customers.
Ahmad, a fitness instructor in Malaysia, reached out to us with a problem. His clients were complaining about their workout clothes. After exercise, their shirts felt sticky and uncomfortable. The hot, humid climate of Malaysia was making their workouts unpleasant.
Ahmad asked for our help in finding a solution for his clients. He needed a fabric that could handle Malaysia’s tropical weather and keep his clients comfortable during intense workouts.
Our New 4-in-1 Cooling Fabric Solution
We knew we had to create something special for Ahmad and his clients. Finally We’ve developed a unique 4-in-1 cooling nylon fabric for their outdoor sportswear designed specifically for hot and humid conditions. This fabric combines four essential properties:
1. Cooling
2. Anti-UV
3. Antibacterial protection
4. Odor control
How it works:
– The fabric provides an instant cooling sensation upon contact with the skin
– It efficiently wicks moisture away from the body
– Antibacterial properties prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria
– The fabric actively controls odors, keeping you fresh throughout your activities
– Malaysia, being close to the equator, experiences intense sunlight year-round. The UV index is often high, increasing the risk of skin damage from sun exposure. Unlike sunscreen, which needs reapplication, UV-protective fabric offers consistent protection throughout the day.
What makes it cool:
– it has a Qmax value greater than 0.35, indicating superior cooling performance
– The fabric’s structure allows for rapid heat dissipation
– It creates a microclimate between the skin and the fabric, maintaining a comfortable temperature
Suitable scenarios:
– High-intensity workouts in hot and humid environments
– Yoga and pilates sessions where comfort and freshness are crucial
– Everyday wear in tropical climates
– Extended outdoor activities where odor control is important
Comparing Cooling Fabric Technologies
To help you make an informed choice, let’s compare these three cooling fabric technologies:
| Features | 8C Microporous | Nano cooling powders in PET&PA | Polyethylene |
| Main Cooling Mechanism | Natural cooling, Dope Dyed Colors | Instant cooling from nano powder | Natural heat dissipation from material structure |
| Additional Advantages | Ultra-light, breathable | Antibacterial, odor-resistant, wash-resistant | Lightweight, UV-protective, recyclable |
| Best Suited For | High-intensity, sweat-heavy activities | Multifunctional needs, such as sports and daily wear | Scenarios requiring lightweight and UV protection |
| Unique Strength | Rapid drying | Comprehensive comfort solution | Natural cooling,Dope Dyed Colors |
Choosing the Right Cooling Fabric for You
1. 8C Microporous Technology:
– Suitable for: Runners, cyclists, and other high-intensity sports enthusiasts
