Sleepwear that absorbs heat and improves sleep quality
Sounds impossible but, it’s true. Under Armour’s Athlete Recovery sleepwear absorbs heat from the wearer’s body and in turn releases infrared light to improve sleep quality and muscle recovery of an individual. This fabric is best for athletes as it also enhances relaxation and helps the body reboot.
Swimsuit with sensors that alerts you when UV rays are high
Neviano’s swimsuits, made and designed in France, are not only stylish but, they are also integrated with UV sensors that alert the wearer about the high UV rays and remind them to apply more sunscreen to avoid skin damage and diseases. How does it work, you ask? The waterproof UV sensors are attached to the swimwear, and it can be connected to your iOS or Android device.
Socks that are designed to protect your feet from diabetes-related foot problems
Officially known as Siren’s Diabetic Socks and Foot Monitoring System, these smart socks use small sensors placed throughout the socks’ fabric to measure the foot’s temperature at six different point. It’s helpful for patients with diabetes and neuropathy to find potential foot problems at an early stage that can often lead to amputations if not detected on time. These socks are comfortable to wear, and they are machine-washable too.
Denim jacket that connects to your smartphone
The Commuter x Jacquard jacket is part of a collaboration between Levi’s and Google. This stylish, non-stretch jacket can easily connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and can screen phone calls, control music volume, and even notify you when your ride/cab is nearby.
Smart yoga pants that help users with exercises
These yoga pants by Nadi X can sense when your yoga pose needs refining. How does it function? The smart yoga pants use haptic feedback to create small vibrations on the body parts that you need to adjust. It also comes with an iOS app that offers instructions on how you can optimize each yoga pose. These pants are available for both, men, and women in a variety of sizes and they can be washed in the machine. But, before throwing it in for a wash, don’t forget to remove the battery pack which attaches to the rear of your left knee.
