Thermaltech introduced its patented solar powered smart fabric, made from stainless steel yarn, is lightweight and gathers energy from the sun or artificial light to keep the body warm even after the sun has set.

According to the company, Thermaltech's technology takes a proactive approach to warmth and so the fabric soaks up energy from indoor and outdoor light to bring warmth to the wearer within minutes.
“The fabric's technology generates up to 10°C or 18°F of heat gathered from the sun or artificial light in just two minutes, even when it's cold outside,” it added.
The first use of this fabric will be a jacket available in three different styles for both men and women for use in a variety of outdoor activities.
The first is street fashion inspired, offered in dark blue and green; while Explorer is designed for casual, every day use and comes in light blue and red and Extreme is intended for outdoor sports in black and gray.
“The Extreme and Explorer styles are perfect for staying warm in any outdoor setting or situation: from snowboarding to commuting to work in the winter,” it informed.
“People hitting the slopes will be able to say goodbye to two to three pounds of weight and bulk without sacrificing warmth,” Thermaltech said.
"We believe that by introducing this solar-absorbing fabric, the next generation of outerwear will provide the consumer with even more of an optimal temperature & fit,” said Carlos Cortes, CEO of Thermaltech.
“This will allow everyone from the snowboarder to the fashionista to be warmer in colder climates," Cortes too added.
The ultra-thin stainless steel mesh fabric threads are strong yet lightweight and breathable, lending to extended lifetime use while reducing the weight typically found in heat-storing materials added to most outerwear.
“We are very excited to bring this technology to market and our goal is to help people stay warm in any environment without having to sacrifice fashion and comfort,” said Fatima Rocha, co-founder, Thermaltech. (AR)
