HOW DOES IT WORK – THE SCIENCE – FAQ

Infrared radiation (IR), or infrared light, is a type of radiant energy that’s invisible to human eyes but that we can feel as heat. The electromagnetic waves in the range between visible light and microwaves are called infrared waves. Infrared is further subdivided into the ranges of near infrared, mid infrared and far infrared.
Infrared light is used in industrial, scientific and medical applications.

Far Infrared Rays (FIR) are waves of energy in a particular region on the infrared spectrum, invisible to the human eye and characterized by low energy and low penetration. According to biological research, far Infrared rays are absorbed very easily and bring numerous benefits to biological tissues.

Far infrared waves are thermal. We experience this type of infrared radiation every day in the form of heat.
Unlike ordinary heat, far infrared waves/rays interact with the human body via a strong interaction with water molecules which represent, on average, 70% of human body mass.

Far infrared waves work by creating a thermal effect which reaches deep into the layers of tissues causing blood vessels in capillaries to dilate. This promotes blood circulation, increases tissue oxygen levels, enhances cell vitality and regulates body temperature.

Far infrared waves interact with the human body via their strong interaction with water molecules, which represent, on average, 70% of human body mass. Far infrared waves cause the body’s water molecules to resonate, thereby promoting various bioprocesses. This process gently expanding capillaries stimulating microcirculation.

The microcirculation is the circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels. The main functions of the microcirculation are the delivery of oxygen and nutrients and the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2). Far infrared (FIR) waves/rays improve the body microcirculation, boosting the flow of blood to tissues throughout the body thereby, delivering vital nutrients, removing toxins and increasing oxygen levels.

Far infrared fiber (or FIR fiber/IR fiber) is an innovative fiber that can emit a low dosage of far infrared rays causing a uniquely beneficial interaction with the human body.

Utilizing a proprietary and unique blend of minerals from nature combined with various synthetic or natural carriers, far infrared fiber creates a health and wellness environment by recycling the body’s own energy.

The infrared fiber gives any fabric the ability to absorb the body’s heat, transforming it into full-spectrum infrared energy. Three steps to stimulate the body and its natural healing processes:

1. The heat that our body emits is absorbed by the minerals in the fiber
2. The minerals convert that heat into infrared energy
3. The infrared energy penetrates in to the muscle and tissue to increase circulation, oxygen and blood flow

The increase in local circulation and oxygen means you perform stronger, recover faster and sleep better.

Merino wool is a natural fiber grown by Merino sheep. It’s thinner and softer than regular wool—making it easy to wear next to skin. And when you wear wool next to skin, a lot of benefits come with it.

We choose to make some our products from Merino wool because it’s perfect for every adventure. regardless of season. Each fiber naturally helps regulate body temperature, transports sweat away as a vapor, and cancels out odors.

Merino wool has high levels of warmth, breathability and softness against the skin, particularly when compared with traditional wool products. It has the following advantages:

• An excellent insulator
• Wicks moisture
• Absorbs and dissipates body moisture without feeling wet
• Creates a comfortable even body temperature
• Is anti-microbial, anti-static and wrinkle resistant
• Fire resistant
• Is biodegradable

All our products that use Merino wool are assembled using knitted components which are sourced from a number of approved knitting factories. To the best of our knowledge and belief, these knitted components contain Merino wool sourced from sheep which are not subjected to mulesing or mistreatment of any type.

Tech Fleece fabric is a unique thermal fabrication designed to create warmth without weight. Our fleece fabric contains over 50% infrared fibers (FIR) to offer remarkable health benefits of infrared technology.

The characteristics of fleece make it incredibly useful for keeping warm, particularly whilst being active. The super soft, warm and breathable nature of this magic material makes it perfect for outerwear and all things cozy.

A Responsive (Performance) Textile is a material that have one or more properties that can react to changes in their environment. This means that one of their properties can be changed by an external condition, such as temperature, light, pressure, and more. At contact with the skin, due to the body’s heat/energy the fabric captures, converts and reflects infrared energy with proven benefits for your body.

These terms are often interchanged. Basically most people understand them as delivering the same therapeutic benefits, however, to be accurate, far infrared thermal energy is the science behind the bio-ceramic product that delivers the health benefits to you. Bio-ceramic also known as Biochemistry Ceramics technology is an appropriate term because the health care benefits of these unique products is the result of the superfine bio-ceramic compounds/earth minerals impregnated/incorporated into these therapy garments.
