CLIMACHILL™ keeps you cool with a meshlike fabric of aluminum-silver dots that conduct heat away from the body
Adidas claims that Climachill fabric is able to deliver an instant cooling effect with its mix of titanium-blended yarn and 3D aluminum cooling spheres. The 3D spheres are mapped to correspond with the body’s hot zones, keeping those areas cooler. Meanwhile, the use of the titanium “SubZero” flat yarn delivers a claimed 36 percent increase in cooling capacity over Adidas’ older Climacool fabric.
In order to find the “ultimate Climachill fabric,” Adidas tested fabric blends in its “Clima” chamber, cranking the heat up to 122ºF (50ºC). It then zeroed in on what was most effective.
呼!蘇格蘭未能獨立,人民大嘆一句”God save the Queen”,不禁讓人想起七十年代英國搖滾樂隊Sex Pistols的同名歌曲,正是他們令米字旗不僅是英倫傳統的標記,更成為前衞的象徵。並植根在一群設計尖子的血液裏,讓英國國旗飄洋過海數百年。今日, 就從時裝、歷史及文化等範疇娓娓道來,探討米字旗的前世今生!
解構米字旗
1707年,大不列顛王國是由英格蘭及蘇格蘭組成,直至1801年,始與愛爾蘭合併,英國國旗(The Union Jack)自那時起飄揚至今213年。英國國旗之所以被稱為Jack,源於昔日戰船船首會掛上米字旗作艦首旗(Jack)之用,因而得名。愛爾蘭雖於 1922年獨立成國,但由於St. Patrick’s Cross同樣包含北愛爾蘭,故此仍然保留在英國國旗。
其實米字旗沒有正式被法律確認為英國國旗,只是於1933年,英國內政大臣宣佈「米字旗就是英國國旗」。
