I love materials expos��but nothing matches this week's ISPO in terms of breathing innovation and inspiration. Sharing here my top 10 materials innovations I��m excited about: 1. Karuishi - Microfiber-Migration-Resistant Fleece (Toray Industries, Inc.) A microfiber-migration-resistant fleece with reversible potential��jersey face on one side, teddy-pile on the other��emitting 94% fewer microplastics compared to conventional polar fleece through a unique construction. That's a game changer. 2. Thermal Booster - Smart Dynamic Insulation (Thermore ) Insulation that adapts to temperature changes, featuring a polymer that contracts the non-woven exterior surface in the cold to increase thermal resistance by 20%. We've done a lot of work on climate active materials with the Self-Assembly Lab- and this has a ton of potential at commercial scale. 3. Shorai - Apparel Grade Bio-Based Leather (Rheom Materials) A 0.4mm, 92% bio-based leather alternative��the first I��ve seen that is apparel-grade, thin, stretchy, and made right here in our home state of Massachusetts. 4. Innovation in Heated Modules (Flytec, MEC ADDHEAT CO., LTD., Clim8) Flytec's iWarm 5.0 offers accelerometer-based temperature control with up to 18W (like Ministry of Supply's original Mercury), while MEC AddHeat now includes USB-C, PD compatibility, and haptic feedback. Clim8 leads with the best personalization and app control. 5. GigaDull - Advanced Sun and Heat Protection (Toray Industries, Inc.) A polyester filament coated with titanium dioxide and encased in a polyester sheath, delivering UPF 50+ and reflecting IR heat. 6. Gore-Tex Labs - Technical Product Demos (GORE-TEX Brand) Gore-Tex was my first (material) love - and to see them totally nerd-out on live test standards to exhibit breathability, abrasion resistance, and stretch was awesome. They made lab experiments visual, dynamic, and easy to convey the value proposition. 7. AiryString - Magnetic and Tapeless Low-Profile Zippers (YKK) AiryString tape-less zippers offer a sleek aesthetic but also a totally different sensory experience for the front of jackets - no longer weighted by turnbacks and multiple stitches. The specialized Juki sewing machine that advances the zipper teeth with a gear-cog was super cool. 8. Variloom - 3D TPU Printed Overlays (Moon Creative Lab) 3D-printed TPU overlays enable shaping, reinforcement, and breathability�� through components earning an ISPO Award with Bilio. 9. Solament - Infrared Reflective Fabric (Solament) Incorporates a cesium tungsten oxide additive to reflect near-infrared light (thermal energy) back to the wearer, making the fabric feel 10��C warmer. It gives thermally reflective windows that iconic blue sheen. 10. Siro-Yarn - Hybrid, Durable Cellulosic-Synthetic Yarn Spinning (United Berry) Nylon core wrapped with Tencel, combining nylon��s durability with Tencel��s moisture management and softness. Simple yet incredibly effective! Excited for what we'll all build!
