SmartWeave Fabric
-
Oliver Van Emden and Bradley Rose, British inventors, created a cotton treatment that prevents embarrassing sweat stains under the arms of shirts. It took them nine years to create this type of fabric, called SmartWeave, and incorporate it into a product launched as FreshMax Shirts. The shirts are designed to feel like regular cotton garments and can be treated as such.
How SmartWeave Fabric Works
-
SmartWeave fabric draws the sweat away from the skin and then redirects in the shirt through channels that have been built into the fabric. The sweat is spread out throughout the course of the garment, allowing it to evaporate away faster. The sweat is also kept away from the outside of the shirt. As a result, sweat patches can't be seen on the outside and the area under the arms stays drier.

Smart Weave Comb

Smart Weave can also refer to a type of comb used to make the hair highlighting process quicker. The comb includes a long tail for separating a section of the hair and then several hierarchies of teeth that creates a section of weaved hair. The product helps hairdressers create even sections of hair for highlighting and allows them to accomplish it much more quickly.
