October 18, 2024 - Hong Kong

Graphene-X, a tech-driven clothing and gear brand that focuses on the use of advanced materials to manufacture high-performance, sustainable and multi-purpose products, has unveiled its latest innovation, the performance tech shirt, on Kickstarter. With the integration of HeiQ's skin care technology, this shirt redefines the functionality of clothing by actively nourishing the skin with probiotics, creating a seamless blend of fashion, performance, and wellness.

The performance tech shirt is designed to enhance both comfort and well-being, offering advanced heat dissipation through boron nitride-integrated polyester fibres (boron nitride is also known as ‘white graphene’). Beyond exceptional breathability and smoothness, the true revolution lies in the HeiQ technology embedded within the fabric, which enriches the wearer’s skin with beneficial probiotics, the company said in a press release.

At the forefront of wearable tech, the Performance Tech Shirt showcases Graphene-X’s ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries. "This shirt represents our vision of the future of clothing," said Jorge Barros, founder & CEO of Graphene-X. "It's not just about superior performance anymore. We believe your clothes should do more, like enhancing your well-being while ensuring comfort and durability."

HeiQ skin care technology infuses the fabric with probiotics that promote healthier skin, an innovation that seamlessly integrates wellness into everyday apparel. Infused into polyester fibres, the boron nitride enhances the shirt’s thermal regulation, keeping the wearer cool even in warm conditions.
