What is HCW (HotCool Wear
™)?
HCW is a high performance fabric that has
passed our stringent wicking and drying tests. HCW fabrics have the
unique ability to move sweat away from the body to the outer layer
of the fabric where it dries faster than cotton, nylon, silk,
polypropylene. Only fabrics that meet the HotCool Wear™ standards are
used in our products.
What makes HCW ideal for sleepwear?
HCW performance fabrics helps regulate the
body's temperature by cooling the body core temperature and drawing
heat generating moisture away from the skin. The special
breathability of the fabric means that women who wear HotMama®
sleepwear will not be bothered by the energy sapping hot flashes and
night sweats.
Is it just for menopausal women?
No, although that's who we had in mind when we
invented it. Many other people who suffer from body temperature
fluctuations or those who are "hormonally challenged" as
we like to say, wear our product and have found great relief and
comfort from their symptoms. Some of our customers include insulin
dependent diabetics, people taking medication that causes excessive
sweating, chemo patients, MS sufferers and pregnant women.
How do I care for my HotCool Wear™ garments?
Garments are washable, dryable and stay soft
and non chafing; they are also colourfast and resistant to
shrinking, odor and mildew.
