Self-Cleaning Clothing? Sign Us Up for Silic!
Guys, it is going to be epic! In fact, it's going to be so monumental that in a few generations people will look back upon our time and marvel at how life - as we know it - was even possible. We are talking about the dawn of new era, one that's characterized by engineered fabrics and self-cleaning clothing. While we're still a few years away from being able to buy such items at a local mall at a fair price, a rather innovative guy has just set the potential for this future in motion.http://youtu.be/IPKIcz3fVrUHis name is Aamir Patel and he is the brain behind Silic, the first generation of shirts that can clean themselves. Yes, we have sports apparel that does a pretty good job at keeping moisture locked away from the body thanks to wicking technology, but they still get dirty and are prone to damage. Wouldn't it be nice if your clothes simply didn't get wet, ruined or dirty?This is where Silic comes through. The hydrophobic nanotechnology incorporated into the fabric works to keep your clothes clean, dry and beautiful, just like you probably intended. In other words if wine or food gets all over your attire, you no longer have to run to the bathroom and weep for several hours while a devoted family member scurries to bring you replacements. Friends, those days are almost over.
Sound like a wonderful idea? Probably. But actualizing it is not that simple. Patel is currently raising money for Silic on Kickstarter. Assuming, of course, that this campaign gets funded, Silic products will be offered in an array of colors rather than the black and white options currently available.
Forking over money for a less-than solid business venture is never really favorable but here are a two big reasons as to why it may be worth it: The team behind Silic has previously worked with Nike and Levis, and is currently partnered with a former Vera Wang Collection designer in an effort to bring you the items at an affordable price. Furthermore, the microtechnology behind Silic does NOT cause cancer, although products incorporating similar technology can and often do.When it comes to quality and safety, the team behind Silic thought of everything.
