At the sports goods trade fair Ispo Munich from January 28-31, 2018 in Munich/Germany, the textile manufacturer Schoeller Textil AG, Sevelen/Switzerland, and the provider of solutions for electro osmosis for moisture management Osmotex AG, Thawil/Switzerland, showcased a jacket with embedded electronic moisture management.

The Hydro_Bot technology allows the wearer to sweat without feeling wet, and should be commercially available in sportswear in the course of 2018.

At the Ispo, Osmotex confirmed a new strategic partner for electronics. The developer and producer of electronics for clothing, Applycon s.r.o., Dobřany/Czech Republic, will be their preferred supplier for all integrated electronics.

The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Empa, Dübendorf/Switzerland, has played a key role in conducting cutting-edge materials and technology research as well as clothing physiology analysis of the Hydro_Bot system incorporated in jackets, which confirmed the efficacy of the technology.

In all tests the jackets performed better than existing state-of-the-art jackets, and when the electronics were switched on the difference was remarkable.
