minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-210 days agoTo be clear, the headline refers to yank degrees: In outdoor tests in Arizona, the textile stayed […] 16 F (8.9 C) cooler than regular silk, a breathable fabric often used for dresses and shirts. They didn’t really compare it to many materials it seems. I also don’t know why they said 16+ degrees. That was the largest temperature delta they saw, not the least… Besides, this is only part of the tale. Is it affordable? Is it mass manufacturable? Is it comfortable? Is it durable? Is it washable? Is it crease prone? Can it be easily mixed with other materials, e.g. to make it elasticated? Is it recyclable? Is it dyeable? etc Sounds cool (heh) though. I’m often too warm.
