Far-infrared recovery sleepwear
Pajamas woven with a bioceramic print that reflects body heat back as far-infrared
Sleepwear, best known from the Athlete Recovery line Brady helped a sportswear brand launch in 2017, printed on the inside with a bioceramic pattern that absorbs body heat and reflects it back as far-infrared energy. The pitch is faster muscle recovery and better sleep. The supporting research is thin, mostly small or animal studies, and the garments cost several times what ordinary pajamas do. In practice it is a comfortable set of pajamas with an unproven extra.
