Product Testing Kinetic Comfort

We put all our products through extensive testing. Recently we went behind the scenes at Technorama, where we study product performance in a weather simulation chamber.

Meeting the team at Toray, Japan.

Toray's Technorama facility in Seta, Japan is a lab purpose built for developing next-generation textile products. The lab can simulate wind speeds up to 67 mph, rainfall up to 200 mm/hr, temperatures from -22 to 140°F, among other conditions. It has equipment to measure factors like heat and humidity as well as sensations like comfort.

Design & Development meeting. Gihan and the Toray team review new innovations and test results.

Toray’s Technorama facility provides detailed technical information that helps improve our designs.

During this visit, we worked on design and development of Kinetic. We found that due to fabric and construction, Kinetic Blazer exerts 3.4X less pressure (14.07 kPa vs. 4.11 kPa) than conventional blazers. Uniform and lower pressure has been found to be a key attribute in the perceived comfort in clothing by (Dongsheng and Qing, 2003). Kinetic Pants and Blazer also offered a 34.5% improvement in water-resistance.
