A research team from the School of Fashion and Textiles at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed the “iActive” sportswear range which features a root-like liquid transport system and a skin-like active perspiration dissipater and utilises nature-inspired, anti-heat textile fabrics to expedite sweat removal, effectively reducing the weight and stickiness of activewear caused by sweat accumulation during exercise.
