Technology
The material does the work.
MIG3 is a bioceramic mineral — oxides of magnesium, silicon, alumina and other ceramic elements. The name stands for Mineral Inorgânico Goen3. It emits far infrared efficiently, in the 3 to 14.8 micron range.
The emission range
Why 3 to 14.8 microns matters.
The human body radiates heat almost entirely in the 8 to 14 micron band. MIG3 emits across 3 to 14.8 microns — so the range the material returns overlaps the range your body already produces. Hover the chart to read the values.

Inside the fiber
Not a coating. A material choice.
Invel patented a method of incorporating the minerals inside the fiber during manufacturing — not as a surface finish. The distinction is the whole point: a finish washes out, a mineral built into the fiber does not.
That is also why this is a material story, not a fashion one. Everything else follows from the fiber.
The proposed mechanism
Here's how Invel describes it — as a proposed mechanism, not a settled fact.
Body heat activates it
The composite is passive. Your own warmth is what switches it on.
Far infrared returns
The material re-emits energy as far infrared, back toward the area it covers.
The hypothesis
Invel's view is that this supports the body's own local microcirculation. We treat it as a hypothesis under study.
Honest limits
What the technology is not.
Specificity builds trust. So here is what MIG3 is not.
Durability & care
Because it's in the fiber, it stays.
A surface finish fades with washing. The mineral in an Invel garment is part of the fiber, so normal care keeps it where it belongs.
