The Challenge
“Create uniforms that adapt to extreme climate variations across global flight routes.”
The customer’s Airlines needed a complete uniform redevelopment for cockpit, cabin, and ground crews operating between cold European winters(extreme cold) and hot, humid Sub-Saharan destinations(extreme hot). The challenge required sustainable, durable cooling technologies integrated into next-to-skin garments and modular mid-layering systems.

Our Dual-Technology Innovation Approach
1
Understanding Aviation Microclimate Challenges
Aviation professionals face unique thermoregulation challenges: rapid climate transitions, extended wear periods, professional appearance requirements, and frequent laundering demands. Traditional uniforms fail to adapt to these dynamic conditions.
2
Analyzing Thermal Comfort Requirements
Different uniform components require different thermal strategies. Next-to-skin garments need active cooling and moisture management, while outer layers require adaptive temperature regulation and professional aesthetics.
3
Developing Complementary Technologies
We identified two breakthrough technologies: XOY fabric for immediate cooling and moisture management, and PCM fabric for intelligent temperature regulation. Together, they create a comprehensive climate adaptation system.
4
Integration with Uniform Architecture
Our solution integrates seamlessly with corporate uniform requirements, maintaining professional appearance while delivering superior comfort. Both technologies meet aviation industry durability and safety standards.
