Cold weather will never be a good excuse anymore

 

You asked for it

Over the past few months we've had lots of happy users ask us to add sleeves, a collar, and why not, make the shirt warmer.

(drum roll, please)

We're pleased to announce that we were able to do all 3, giving birth to World's first cold weather smart shirt: the Hexoskin Arctic! And, since we're never afraid of taking on life-threatening challenges, we've even thrown in a couple of thumb holes for your comfort.

 

So, what's new in this shirt?

Apart from the obvious sleeves and collar, we've used a new textile, once again from Italy, that offers comfort similar to Merino wool. The fabric itself is based on research on polar bears' fur and how they trap heat between their skin and their fur. The textile we use does the same, while allowing natural evaporation of perspiration: absorbing very little water, the fabric dries rapidly, while keeping the body temperature constant. This reduces energy consumption to a minimum and improves athletic performance. As said above we've also added thumb holes and a zipper to the pocket, and of course the shirt is still machine-washable and very resistant to pilling and abrasion. You'll love it!

 

Limited edition, order now!

We're only going to produce a few hundred pieces of this limited edition cold weather smart shirt, so don't waste any time, order yours today! We're including a complimentary Hexoskin running hat in the first 20 orders.

Emotions, to Data, to Art

Art and technology meet to capture the experience behind the wheel.

Last August, The Atlantic's creative marketing group Atlantic Re:think organized a venue with Porsche and a few very special guests. The idea was to present the new Porsche Macan to these VIPs, record their emotions during the thrill drive and then turn that data into art. Hexoskin's smart shirt was used to collect biometric data from the guests, the folks from TRAQs did their magic with the data and Sosolimited, a digital design studio, turned all this into beautiful art. Teamwork!

Hexoskin Wins "Most Innovative Consumer Health" Product Award at INTERFACE - Future of Health

This September's INTERFACE summit's theme was "The Future of Health", and Hexoskin was lucky enough to be invited to the event. It was a great opportunity for us to share ideas with our friends from Pebble and Ayogo on a panel about health and technology. The event lasted two days of intense discussions about how to improve public health, preventive health, personalized health, changing behaviours, big data for healthcare, sports medicine, genetic testing and more.

The hundreds of attendees liked our vision for the Future of Health, and Hexoskin won the "Most Innovative Consumer Health" product award!

 

 

Finally, we love when Vancouver greets us with great weather and probably one of the nicest landscapes in North America. This is the view we had from the Vancouver Conference Center. We'll be back for sure!
