Ice and Snow Silk Short Sleeve Set
Ice and Snow Silk, often marketed as "cool silk" or "qiling silk," is a relatively new type of fabric, primarily composed of polyester. Despite the name, it does not contain silk or natural fibers like cotton. The "ice" sensation is achieved through a specialized weaving process and fiber modification, creating a fabric with enhanced cooling properties.
Material Composition:
- Polyester: The base material, typically a variation of polyester microfibers.
- Cooling Yarn: Modified polyester fibers designed to absorb moisture and dissipate heat. These often incorporate mineral additives or specialized cross-sections.
- Spandex/Elastane (typically 5-10%): Added for stretch and shape retention.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of ice and snow silk fabric is to provide a cooling and comfortable sensation, particularly in warm weather or during physical activity. It is often used in activewear, loungewear, and summer clothing.
Function:
- Moisture-Wicking: The fabric excels at drawing sweat away from the skin.
- Breathability: The weave structure allows for air circulation, promoting evaporation.
- Cooling Effect: The modified fibers create a perceived cooling sensation upon contact with the skin. This is due to the rapid evaporation of moisture.
- Quick-Drying: The polyester composition ensures fast drying times.
- Softness: Microfibers contribute to a soft and comfortable texture.
Usage Scenarios:
- Activewear: T-shirts, shorts, leggings, sports bras for running, yoga, gym workouts, and other activities.
- Loungewear: Pajamas, nightgowns, comfortable sets for relaxing at home.
- Summer Clothing: T-shirts, dresses, shorts, and other lightweight garments for hot weather.
- Undergarments: Underwear, camisoles, and base layers for enhanced comfort.
Common Types & Variations:
- Modal Ice Silk: Blends polyester ice silk with modal, offering increased softness and drape.
- Bamboo Ice Silk: Combines polyester ice silk with bamboo fibers for enhanced breathability and odor control. (Note: the bamboo content is typically lower than the polyester)
- Qiling Silk: A common marketing term used interchangeably with ice and snow silk, referring to the same fabric technology.
- Different Weaves: The fabric can be produced in various weaves (e.g., jersey, rib knit) to affect texture and drape.
- Short Sleeve Set: Commonly refers to a two-piece outfit consisting of a short-sleeved top and either shorts or pants made from ice and snow silk fabric. These sets are popular for their comfort and cooling properties, often used as sleepwear or loungewear.
