Start-up 13-One wants to suit you up in material used by NASA

After discovering that no apparel company sold sportswear made with this material, Nambiar decided to design her own. Headquartered in Larchmont, New York, 13-One launched in June of 2016, and has sold more than 800 units so far, primarily through a Kickstarter campaign and on the company’s website.

“I was inspired by this technology when I completed my first half-marathon and was wrapped in a heat sheet,” says Nambiar, who named her company after the half-marathon distance of 13.1 miles.

The company’s apparel is available in two unisex styles and one trench style for women. They retail on 13-One’s website for between $145 and $175.
