In the competitive world of sportswear, staying ahead means offering products that keep athletes comfortable and performing at their best. As temperatures rise and consumers demand more from their activewear, cooling fabrics have become a game-changer. But what exactly makes a fabric “cool”, and how can we measure it?

Cooling fabrics work by managing body heat and sweat effectively. They achieve this through a combination of innovative fiber structures and advanced technologies. One such technology is the use of cooling yarns, which form the foundation of these performance fabrics.

When it comes to measuring the cooling performance of fabrics, one crucial standard stands out: Qmax. This quantitative measure indicates the instant cooling sensation a fabric provides when it comes into contact with the skin. The higher the Qmax value, the cooler the fabric feels to the touch.

Our IcSnow\u00ae cooling yarns boast an impressive Qmax value of 0.36, surpassing many other yarns in the market. This high Qmax value translates to an immediate and noticeable cooling effect that athletes can feel as soon as they put on the garment.

Cool touch yarns, like our IcSnow\u00ae range, provide this instant cooling sensation when they come into contact with the skin. This immediate relief from heat can be a significant selling point for sportswear, especially for activities in hot environments.
