Smart Textiles Warm Your Feet
Later this year Australian Wool Innovation plans to start marketing “hot socks” based on a “smart textile” developed by New Zealand company Canesis Network. Conductive fibers will be woven into the socks in the areas where the feet are most likely to get cold. There will be no noticeable difference to the wearer. Powering the sock will only require a 7-volt battery, which will give about three to four hours’ warmth in the first iteration of the socks.
