These Clothes Could Be a Cool Response to a Warming Climate

A separate line of clothes for winter reverses the direction to keep you warmer.

CoolLife clothing won’t magically cool you down when it’s really hot or when you’re exercising hard.

But it can help take the edge off.

The fabrics, including the sheets and pillowcases, are eerily cool to the touch.

LifeLabs also offers winter clothing that adds a silvery reflective layer to bounce your body’s heat back.

The idea is to keep you warm with less of the bulk and weight of a conventional winter jacket.

It’s similar to mylar space blankets but breathable to avoid the clammy feeling of trapped body moisture.

CoolLife clothing requires polyethylene to manufacture, but the company uses 74% recycled materials.

But the idea has taken on new urgency with climate change problems and today’s heat waves.

When asked why he was wearing a skirt,movie star Brad Pitt answered, “Breeze.

“That was amid a European heat wave in July.

That same month, Spanish Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez asked workers to stop wearing neckties.

Office workers are a prime target for LifeLabs, Cui said.

Indeed, Google has ordered LifeLabs' CoolLife clothing for employees, he said.

“The easiest [is] if people wear uniforms, like in a factory,” Cui said.

“With everybody wearing the same thing, then you could change your thermostat.”
