General guidance for the garment
The sensorized garments are realised using natural and synthetic yarns and must be treated as
underwear. Garments have been tested for their endurance regarding number of washings and
time of use. The garment starts to show some malfunctioning after about 50 delicate washing
cycles, probably due to the attack of detergents to metallic fibres; at the same time the fabric
start to wear away.
