Cooler by Nature
Nature is the ultimate designer.
At Coolcore, we help apparel brands harness the power of biomimicry to create their most advanced cooling products.
Building on 4.5 billion years of evolutionary R&D, our Biomimetic Fiber Geometry™ produces fabrics with exceptional softness, wicking, moisture transport, and evaporative cooling performance.
Biomimetic
Fiber Geometry™
In nature, fibers occur in a myriad of shapes. Silk is trilobal, cotton has a bean-shaped cross section, wool has a hollow core—each creating specific fabric properties. By contrast, almost all synthetic fibers have round cross sections, but only because they’re the simplest to produce. Coolcore harnesses the wisdom of nature’s own design to create synthetic fabrics with Biomimetic Fiber Geometry™ that enhances performance.
Coolcore’s patented technology enables us to form and spin differently shaped fibers to create yarns—and in turn fabrics—that accelerate moisture transport and evaporative cooling. These same techniques also enable us to engineer fabrics with enhanced softness, insulation, luster and strength.
Surface Area Improves Cooling
Shaped fibers have greater surface
area than round fibers, accelerating
evaporative cooling.
Channels Aid Wicking
Blending fiber geometries creates
large channels to transport moisture
away from the skin.
Low Volume is Lighter and Softer
Shaped fibers have less volume than
round fibers, and more fibers per yarn
in a given denier creates stronger,
softer fabrics.
Improved Dye Uptake
Increased surface area improves dye
uptake, creating more vibrant and
longer-lasting colors.
Comfort. Performance. Safety.
Across product categories and user groups, cooling technology is more than just a nice-to-have: it’s a necessity.
An Athletic Advantage
In hot weather, competition is often as simple as survival of the coolest. Coolcore fabrics help keep athletes cool and comfortable when managing the temperature can be the difference between overheating and a personal best.
Triple-Digit Cooling Power
When being outside and in the sun is part of the job description, the cooling performance of our fabrics help keep hard-working crews cool and comfortable in triple-digit heat.
UPF 50+ Sun Protection
Coolcore fabrics offer excellent protection from the sun, with many rated UPF 50+. Coolcore’s sun protection won’t wash out, and works whether the fabric is wet or dry.

It’s not enough to follow nature’s blueprint—you must also measure the results. Coolcore conducts rigorous in-house testing against established ASTM and AATCC standards, and collaborates closely with the Hohenstein Institute—a globally recognized leader in textile research—to evaluate our fabrics’ performance and ensure they meet the highest standards of quality.
The WATson Test
The Hohenstein Institute’s WATson machine simulates real-world conditions to measure the wicking power, cooling power, and drying power of a textile.
