“Color your Limit” is a project that combines smart textile that changes its color during the process of evaporation of perspiration from
key points in the body (OR index points).This project was done in collaboration with ADIDAS.
The shirt “communicates” with the runner and reflects her/his strain by changing the color on the back and on the sides of the body,
by this showing the runner a colorful expression instead of a sweaty shirt by the end of the practice.
The shirt combines two main textile technologies:
1.String-like fibers are able to evaporate sweat by transferring the perspiration from key points at the back and the sides of the body to the front of the shirt.
2. A fabric with an indicator able to change its color when the PH level of the body changes between base and acid during running.
When a person runs, the PH level in our body changes and so is the color of the shirt. Afterwards, while washing the shirt, the color of the shirt goes back to its original color.
