And yes, you can toss the connected shirts in the washing machine-minus the delicate electronics, of course. Its sports bra and fitness T-shirt contain textile electrodes to monitor your vitals.
The t-shirt can monitor data such as the wearer’s heart rate, heart rate variability, activities performed and calories burned, and share information over the cloud via a mobile phone, tablet or PC. Instead of having a heart-rate monitor’s wire strapped to your chest, you can pull on the spandex shirt. Some companies are hoping you’ll want to play it closer to the chest.

The shirt can charge smartphones, MP3 players, cameras, GPS systems and other USB-compatible handheld or portable devices.
Indoors, the shirt generates enough power to keep a battery charged – so your phone or other device is always ready when you need it. In bright sunlight, it produces around 1 W of electricity – enough to charge a typical phone in a few hours. The Solar Shirt generates power from 120 thin-film solar cells integrated into the fabric itself.
