    That looks very similar to the Under Armour cooling gear?!?

    Is it just a different brand of the same gear??
    Or something completely different??

    Seems to me just clever advertising. Fancy-schmanzy words for yet another plastic shirt.

    Another example is Duluth Trading Company's line of "armachillo" clothing. Supposedly it has micro-bits of jade embedded in the fabric that keep you cool. How it works, I have no idea. I have trouble imagining how putting rocks in your shorts is supposed to keep you cool......

    I dunno!! It popped up on my Facebook feed and I thought I'd see if anyone over here has heard of them. Last time I looked at Under Armour (several years ago), it was a bit pricey for me. I just looked again and the two brands are just about the same price.

    I bought under armor heat gear last summer and have been very impressed with how well it keeps me cool on hot days. Worth the price in my opinion. Picked it up at outlet store and was reasonably priced.

    On a really hot day: soak a handkerchief, and wrap it around your neck.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice ... in practice, however, that's just a theory.
