Within only one year after launch in January 2008, many leading sports and fashion brands integrated Thermo °Cool into their collections and already show the first commercial ranges. Thermo °Cool is born from the experiences and years of study on human thermoregulation from the privileged platform of profiled cross section products. It consists of a unique blend of fibres inside the yarns that interacts with the user of the garment. This hybrid fibre mix provides a dual functionality: When fathe user is hot and perspiring, the fabric provides evaporative cooling, keeping the user cool and comfortable. When the user is cold and shivering, the fabric reduces the exposure impact with external temperatures, keeping the user warm and thermo regulated.

For customers concerned about the environment, Thermo °Cool is also available in an ECO version that uses a polymer made from renewable resources, such as corn, instead of traditional petrochemical derivates.

“The reaction of the fashion market is fantastic! In the very first year after its launch, many leading brands are already presenting Thermo °Cool in their collections and having commercial garments. The product is of high interest for Ready-to-Wear and Corporate Wear, Fashion and Sports-Lifestyle” said Silvia Toledo, Ready-To-Wear Segment Manager of ADVANSA.
