Our journey has already witnessed remarkable innovations: hoodies that regulate temperature, t-shirts that can be worn day after day without retaining any odors, pants designed to withstand and perform under the most extreme conditions humans can encounter, and jackets boasting unparalleled weight-to-warmth ratios, among others.
