Xiaomi now sells an Anti-viral T-Shirt in India! Yes, we aren’t kidding. The Mi Performance T-Shirt claims to have anti-viral and anti-bacterial coating on it to keep certain pathogens away, or at least keep from build-up. The t-shirt also comes with UV rays protection. Xiaomi is selling the Mi Performance T-shirt at a price of Rs. 699 via its own website as of now. The t-shirt is only available in single black colour variant.

This is not the first time Xiaomi is selling its clothing in India. Previously, the company had launched a couple of T-shirts across various price points. The company had even launched the Mi Eco Active T-Shirt S that was made entirely out of recycled plastic bottles.
