Smart Balaclava Keeps Winter Athletes Healthy

Smart Balaclava Keeps Winter Athletes Healthy
Nov-25-16
A smart balaclava knitted with conductive yarn could help protect winter athletes from chest infections.

Developed by a team from Nottingham Trent University and Stoll GmBH, the 3D-knitted balaclava has been knitted with electric-conductive yarn around the mouth and nose, which gently warms the air the wearer breathes in. The balaclava is powered by a small, rechargeable cell battery, and the full-automated 3D-printing manufacturing process keeps the manufacturing waste at below one percent.

Major loss of body heat from lungs (air Expelled) can be retreived in part by the seperated heating of incommining air , A suitable Balaclava with this inbuilt feature would prove invaluable in icy conditions.I have used the expelled air previously to warm up my sleeping bag. Yes we would all like a heated balaclava for those blustering cold days.
