WHAT IS 37.5 TECHNOLOGY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Invented by Dr Gregory Haggquist, an American PhD photo-physical chemist, 37.5 Technology embeds active particles made from volcanic sand into the material of a product – whether it be a rain jacket, windproof top or sock– which use the body’s energy to remove moisture.
The sand particles contain billions of micropores that absorb infrared light in the spectrum that the human body emits it, and this light becomes the energy that powers the particle. If no moisture (i.e. sweat) is present – meaning you are cool – the particles retain this energy to help keep you warm. If moisture is present – meaning you are hot – the particles use this energy to remove moisture.
In practical terms, this helps keep the microclimate next to your skin at a constant – and comfortable – relative humidity of 37.5% and at the ideal core temperature of 37.5° Celsius.
