Air Sync Microclimate Wear

Air Sync

Air Sync is a garment developed in response to increasing heat related risks affecting cities and outdoor work environments. The design organizes airflow within the internal structure of clothing to support localized thermal comfort while maintaining a stable external form. Internal airflow pathways guide cooling air toward thermally sensitive areas of the human body. This structure enables adaptation across a wide range of applications from formal wear to medical uniforms, supporting both everyday use and specialized professional environments.

Air Sync Microclimate Wear by Yuta Ishikawa was highlighted as an innovative illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Air Sync Microclimate Wear received the Platinum A' Design Award in Safety Clothing and Personal Protective Equipment Design in 2026. The A' Safety Clothing and Personal Protective Equipment Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design award that recognizes superior design of helmets, gloves, goggles, respirators, earplugs, safety boots, High-Visibility clothing, face shields and more.
