To be clear, the headline refers to yank degrees:
They didn't really compare it to many materials it seems.
I also don't know why they said 16+ degrees. That was the largest temperature delta they saw, not the least...
Besides, this is only part of the tale:
Is it affordable?
Is it mass manufacturable?
Is it comfortable?
Is it durable?
Is it washable?
Is it crease prone?
Can it be easily mixed with other materials, e.g. to make it elasticated?
Is it recyclable?
Is it dyeable?
is it fine for sensitive skin?
etc
Sounds cool (heh) though. I'm often too warm.
We prefer the term freedom units, thank you.
I prefer the term Yankee doodlegrees, thank you.
Idk yank units sounds really catchy
I’ll yank your units
More like wank degrees, lol.
... Silk is used as a cold weather baselayer in active wear? Not sure if it performs differently as an outer layer, but it's got solid insulating properties for keeping in heat
