What’s Instant Cooling Touch?\n\n\n\n

To understand how some fabrics provide an immediate cooling sensation, it helps to think about something you might encounter every day. If you were to walk into a warm room and touch a metal spoon and a wooden spoon, they would feel completely different. The metal spoon feels much cooler, even though both have been sitting at the same room temperature. That\u2019s because the metal has a higher thermal conductivity than the wood. ^{It\u2019s much more efficient at drawing heat away from your hand, which provides an immediate cool feeling.\n\n\n\n}

The same principle applies to textiles. Certain fabrics are engineered to have high thermal conductivity, which allows them to rapidly pull heat away from your skin the moment you touch them. This creates an instantaneous, refreshing sensation. The industry uses a metric called the Qmax value to measure this effect, which represents the maximum rate of heat transfer from your skin to the fabric in one second. Fabrics with a higher Qmax value have a better instantaneous cooling performance. While a typical cotton fabric might have a Qmax value around 0.1, a high-performance cooling fabric, such as IcSnow\u00ae cooling fabric, can achieve a Qmax of 0.36 or higher. \n\n\n\n

What’s Durable Cooling Fabric?\n\n\n\n

The durable cooling fabric utilizes advanced contact continuous cool feeling technology that fundamentally differs from traditional instant contact cooling materials. While conventional contact cooling fabrics only provide momentary thermal relief upon initial skin contact\u2014typically lasting just seconds before the fabric temperature equalizes with body heat\u2014this durable cooling technology maintains sustained temperature reduction throughout extended wear periods.\n\n\n\n

The long-lasting cooling fabric’s specialized surface structure and fiber composition work synergistically to create a continuous thermal management system. Unlike basic contact cooling that relies solely on initial heat absorption, the durable cooling mechanism operates through enhanced thermal conductivity and heat dissipation properties that actively draw heat away from the body and release it to the environment. This creates a persistent cooling effect where the fabric surface temperature consistently remains 2-4\u00b0C below body temperature, as demonstrated by the 26\u00b0C maximum temperature readings during 60-minute testing periods.\n\n\n\n

The key advantage lies in the fabric’s ability to maintain cooling performance even during prolonged contact and physical activity. Traditional contact cooling materials lose their effectiveness once they reach thermal equilibrium with skin temperature, typically within 30-60 seconds. In contrast, this durable cooling technology continues to provide thermal relief throughout the entire wear cycle, supported by rapid 1.6-second moisture diffusion capabilities that prevent heat buildup and ensure continuous cooling circulation.\n\n\n\n

This sustained cooling mechanism makes the fabric particularly valuable for extended wear applications where momentary cooling relief is insufficient, providing consistent thermal comfort that adapts to changing activity levels and environmental conditions while maintaining optimal temperature regulation performance.\n\n\n\n

Microporous cross-sections that speed sweat across a larger surface. Moisture diffuses in just 1.6 seconds, preventing that swampy buildup that kills most cooling tech. Imagine the fabric as a highway system: heat is the traffic, conductive fibers are multi-lane expressways, and the moisture channels are exit ramps that keep cars (heat) from clogging downtown (your skin). The result is a steady, measurable temperature drop rather than a single cooling spike.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
