LifeLabs, the first textile innovator making meaningful progress in combating the effects of climate change through thermally-efficient textiles, announces the launch of the world’s most cooling T-shirt in a range of styles and colors to offer maximum versatility and comfort for everyday wear. LifeLabs’ innovative take on the spring/summer wardrobe staple brings science and design together, allowing individuals to stay cool without sacrificing style. The classic T-shirt is elevated through CoolLife, the world’s first thermally transparent, Polyethylene fabric that cools your body temperature by nearly 3°F and allows an individual’s body heat to escape rapidly, creating a more effective and efficient cooling effect throughout the day unlike any other apparel on the market.
The world is warming at an alarming rate. People need ways to stay cool without depending on heavy energy drains such as air conditioning, which accounts for 12% of our energy footprint.
We asked ourselves a question: how can our clothes help keep people cooler?
What is CoolLife?
CoolLife is the world’s first infrared-transparent fabric that releases your body heat to cool your temperature 3°F more effectively than comparable fabrics.
How does it work?
CoolLife’s infrared transparency allows your body heat to escape and your body temperature to drop, creating a continuous cooling effect, unlike any other apparel. Polyethylene, a sustainable, recyclable polymer, transfers body heat away from the skin more efficiently than any other performance fabric in the world.
Why is it better?
According to the Materials Sustainability Index, polyethylene (PE) is the most sustainable among natural and synthetic textiles in the world. Engineering PE fibers uses less energy and water than traditional materials, and they can be solution dyed and dry extruded, resulting in additional water savings. CoolLife delivers more effective cooling with less environmental impact for a uniquely cooler, drier, more comfortable experience.
LifeLabs’ Everyday Cooling T-shirt incorporates recycled materials. It stands apart from other cooling garments since CoolLife tech is the only material that delivers more effective cooling with less environmental impact. The essentials are not only functional but also designed for long-term sustainability.
CoolLife items are not only cool to the touch, but by wearing them, individuals experience sustained cooling throughout the day, greater than other brands, allowing them to adjust their thermostat by three degrees Fahrenheit, which is estimated to save 400lbs of carbon per household per year. This can decrease global greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution over time by reducing energy usage personally and globally.
