The joy of subscribing to the retailers' e-newletters is that they'll sent you not only the current offers and style, also the info regarding their so-called fashion technology. Uniqlo today sent me the science behind their popular warm-weather tees based on their patented technology called HeatTech.
UNIQLO HeatTech innerwear is woven out of a specially designed hollow fibre thread that captures little pillows of toasty warm air, insulating your body in the same way a heavier wool would and creating a secret weapon against the winter chill.
Sheer yet snug and providing added winter warmth when layered comfortably underneath a shirt and sweater or cardigan, the uniquely developed HeatTech fabric includes a rayon mix that actually absorbs the moisture generated by the body and converts it into heat. Milk protein, containing natural amino acids, has been mixed with the fibres to ensure the fabric is smooth and soft to the touch; making it not only a heat retaining item, but also the perfect layering garment.
