How 37.5 is Making Comfort Fashionable

The technology that was initially used as an ingredient in high-performance athletic apparel is no longer limited to activewear. At first, the majority of clothing items made with 37.5 Technology stayed in the athletic apparel realm. But realistically, most people would like to be comfortable in the clothes they wear all day long— not just for periods of high-output activity. Lucky for everyone, the market has caught on, and higher fashion items made with 37.5 Technology are now available across a wide variety of brands and styles.

What Makes 37.5 Technology Special?

In a nutshell, 37.5 Technology uses active particles that capture and release moisture vapor. This means the fabric helps maintain your optimal core temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius, and the body’s optimal relative humidity of 37.5 percent. The particles are constantly working to keep your temperature and relative humidity in this comfort zone.
These activated particles are sustainably derived from coconut shells and volcanic minerals, then permanently embedded into the fabric itself, which means they won’t wash out. The particles attract moisture, then expel it through an electrostatic reaction that vaporizes the humidity almost immediately, keeping the skin cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s colder. The hotter you get, the harder these particles work to maintain your optimal core temperature and relative humidity.

Not Just for Activewear

Since athletes are most concerned with regulating their body temperature—mainly through the body’s natural evaporative cooling technique (i.e.sweating)—it’s no surprise that the first category apparel companies considered when using this thermoregulating technology was activewear. However, brands that make bedding, day-to-day wear, and fashion items soon discovered its benefits as well. Yes, this technology might seem almost too high tech for business clothes, but let’s face it: the items you put on for your day at the office are not coming off your body for at least eight hours. Why shouldn’t you have the same level of comfort and performance as premier athletes?
