AIRCOmpLEX-zONE – mORE INSuLAtION

vital nerve endings come together on the solar plexus. it took 10 years of experience to teach us that this is where thermo-regulation can be directly affected. it took 23 horizontal crimps over 144 cm2 to help you better regulate your temperature fluctuations. How thick? in the non-expanded state, 5 mm per crimp.

ISO-SHOuLDER™ – mORE DIStANCE

The distance between the ridges has been doubled, and the area up to the middle of the tricep enlarged. The result: 50 % larger storage capacity for warmth and better insulation.

ENLARgED 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm it takes 58 cm3 of volume to buffer the cold or the heat 15 minutes longer at temperatures of 5 degrees Celsius. The secon-dary evaporation surface can enlarge up to 124 % in its expan-ded state.

DAYS Of RESEARCH AND DEvELOpmENt

evolution takes time: X-BiOniC® invested 3,552 days of research and development in the energy accumulator®. The newest model - the energy accumulator® evO - was 98% newly constructed to achieve decisive improvements in dimensions of performance.

fuNCtIONAL DEtAILS: E.g. tHE EXpANSIONRIbS™

The expansionribs™ of the elbow pads reveal their insulation air cushio-ning only in the flexed state. your elbows won't be affected by the winter chill once the knit unfolds with its accordion principle. The flexibility of the expansionribs™ and the elasticity of the yarns makes it possible to have complete freedom of movement. your muscles won't show signs of fatigue, and they'll be better insulated.

1 AIRCONDItIONINg CHANNEL® The airConditioning Channel® in the chest area is part of the climate channel system. Physiological studies have shown that the chest area is an optimal zone for quick and effective venting and cooling. exchanging fresh air over a system of channels cools the chest area without spreading a “cold” sensation throughout the body. The constant air movement along the airConditioning Channel® also effectively draws moisture away from the sweat zones.

2 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm IN tHE CHESt AREA The 3D-BionicSphere® System on the chest provides cooling without the risk of overcooling.

3 AIRguIDES™ airguides™ work like spacers and borders along the airConditioning Channel®. The airConditioning Channel® must be combined with the airguides™ for winter use. The airguides™ maintain space between heavy winter upper body garments and a pack, whilst ensuring a highly effective quantity and flow of fresh air through the airConditioning Channel®.

4 AIRCOmpLEX-zONE At tHE uppER AbDOmEN at the solar plexus, directly under the 12th thoracic vertebrae, important nerve fibres receive signals that influence one’s entire well-being. The energy accumulator® evo protects this sensitive area with special channels. Warm air enclosed there insulates optimally in the cold. The system’s structure processes excess sweat from physical activity and ensures appropriate cooling of the core.

5 ISO-pAD™ in winter, targeted insulation of individual body parts guards against ambient coldness can prevent the body from freezing. This is why iSO Pads™ over the hipbones and the more subtle iSO-Pads™ on the buttocks retain body heat that is necessary to guarantee interior organ functionality.

6 INSuLAtIONpADS™ ON tHE uppER tHIgH assist in the retention of heat in the thighs. under-cooled muscles are susceptible to injury, and highly under-cooled muscles can feel numb. even more dangerous is when the cooling slows the muscle reaction time, leading to the increased threat of muscle injuries and risk of accidents. This increase can be as much as 60% in the case of skiing, for example. insulationPads™ reduce such risks. Shaped like waves, their protection lies over a large surface of the most superficial thigh muscle, thereby retaining the necessary heat next to the body to maintain muscle performance.

7 INNERLAp AIRCONDItIONINgzONE™ in terms of muscle performance, the inner thigh is less reactive to cold. We all instinctively know this: when our hands are cold, we put them between our thighs to warm them up, helping us re-establish our overall sense of warmth more quickly. The innerlap airConditioningZone™ has been placed in this area. it is a finely knit fabric mesh with zero insulation. Cooling therefore occurs initially through the exchange of air. as soon as sweat has started to evaporate, the cooling process steps it up a notch since the activation system lies directly next to the skin.

8 EXpANSIONkNEE™ Protects from the cold, even when the knee is bent.

9 ISO-SHOuLDER™ The wavelike structure of the iSO-Pads™ lies over the shoulders, keeping the body warm and guarding against chills. Conventional baselayers let a lot of warmth escape in this area because the weight of the jacket and a backpack compresses any insulation material, thus losing any of their value.

10 SWEAttRApS® Designed for large underarm areas to prevent dripping and to cool more effectively.

11 EXpANSIONRIbS™ The expansionribs™ that form the elbow cushion work similarly to the knee area, but are finer. The knitted fabric folds apart based on the accordion principle, insuring that winter cold doesn‘t cool down the elbows. even when sharply bent, the insulating effect is maintained through warm air stored in the interior. The flexibility of the expansionribs™ and the elasticity of the yarn allow a frictionless freedom of movement. even sports with continuous arm movement, such as nordic Walking, produce no symptoms of musculature exhaustion from the movement of the expansion-ribs™.

12 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm ON tHE bACk The 3D-BionicSphere® System on the back provides cooling without the risk of overcooling.

13 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm At tHE tAILbONE The sweat of the lower back area is conducted through the 3D-BionicSphere® System to the tailbone for evaporation. The SweatTraps® on the lower back are targeted specifically at catching sweat flowing toward the buttocks. This first phase, which often leads to friction sores, is interrupted before it can even begin.

14 AIRCONDItIONINgSpOt™ Cools the knee withouth chilling.

15 ISO-CALfpAD™ Calf muscles can cool down quickly, particularly after short breaks and even if the body is still warm. This can lead to a risk of injury. The iSO-CalfPad™ retains the body‘s warmth. To that end, the knitted fabric's wavelike structure lies over the skin, forming channels for storing air in a manner similar to the iSO-Shoulder™. The warmer air retained in these channels definitively delays the cool-down of the calf musculature and adjusts to the body‘s overall perception of warmth.

During sport activities body warmth is created. in extreme situations up to 1,200 watts worth. up to 90 % of this is released by the athlete from the skin to maintain a body temperate of 37 °C. X-BiOniC® Partial Kompression applies targeted pressure on 1 mm-wide ridges. Left and right of the ridge is a compression-free area where compression could have a negative effect on blood circulation to the skin. in this way the blood flow through veins and capillaries remain unimpeded.

The results are revolutionary:

• Reduced muscle oscillations

• Improved muscle uptake of oxygen and nutrients

• Faster recovery

mINuS 50 °C pROvES tHE DIffERENCE.in high-tech labs, scientists simulate the lowest temperatures. X-BiOniC® utilises such laboratories for its production that is uncompromising in its scientific demands. We aren't satisfied until the body heat camera shows perfect funtionality of our products in the transition from normal to super low temperatures. That proves that even minus 50 degrees Celsius doesn't have to be so scary - if you are protected by X-BiOniC®.

The infraTec body heat camera varioCaM® high resolution doesn't lie. it proves whether the athlete interface functions or not in extreme temperature variations and extreme cold. The thermographic image, left, shows the athlete before the cold test. X-BiOniC® masters the task presented to effectively keep the body cool. in the yellow areas of the image you can see excess warmth being released to the ambiant air. in the image, right, the conditions have totally changed. The cold chamber simulates freezing temperatures. Here, X-BiOniC® releases only a small amount of very targeted warmth. The body, which holds onto its warmth, remains protected from the cold.

X-BiOniC® protects the body through a fully integrated system of effec-tive components. The 3D-BionicSphere® System insulates with tunnels and channels. The airComPlex-Zone protects the solar plexus from freezing. iSO-Pads™ warm the hips and gluteals, the iSO-Shoulder™ protects the shoulders, and the expansionribs™, the knees and elbows. With its construction based on the accordion principle it doesn't stretch out and thin when the joint is flexed. Cold chambers and thermographic cameras reveal every weakness of athletic apparel at minus 50 degrees Celsius. But X-BiOniC® interfaces don't have any weaknesses. That of course is asserted by other manufacturers about their products. But we can actually prove it.

400 DEgREES IS AWfuLLY HOt. WItH X-bIONIC® fIRESHIELD, DRIvERS CAN StILL kEEp tHEIR COOL.

as a former successful race car driver Manuel reuter knows exactly what conditions dominate during an automobile race. in spite of extreme heat in the car, drivers must have full control of their concentration every second. With fires in accidents, the temperatures you're exposed to can climb to more than 400 degrees Celsius. X-BiOniC® FireShield keeps the body temperature of drivers by high temperatures on the interior of the car at the optimal 37 degrees. and by extreme temperatures in accidents it protects drivers from injury. Keeping your cool isn't hard with X-BiOniC® FireShield.

During the course of a race, a driver loses several litres of sweat. Driver interfaces have to protect against correspondingly large losses of water, minerals and salts. The X-BiOniC® FireShield fulfills these demanding tasks with bravado.

During his active race driver days, Manuel reuter drove more than 200 german Touring Car Master (DTM) races and knows well the extreme conditions in the cars like only few others do. He isn't quickly convinced of products that promise drivers advantages during races. X-BiOniC® could convince with the X-BiOniC® FireShield. That's why he also pre-sented the X-BiOniC® FireShield System at the start of the 2010 ger-man Touring Car Championship (DTM) at the Hockenheim race track in the upper rhine valley to numerous Tv stations and their audience. no way he does that for every product.

X-BiOniC® FireShield uses the race car driver's sweat to cool the body without building up an uncomfortable dampness. at the same time it puts a stop to further production of the sweat the body would keep pumping out. airConditioning Channels™ and the airConditioning Zone™ provide for a constant supply of fresh air through which the excess moisture is transported away. The body has to use very little energy to maintain its temperature and to avoid overheating. Because of its high fire-resistance and the integrated protection, X-BiOniC® FireShield System is certified for use even in Formula 1 events by the Fia (Fédéra-tion internationale de l'automobile), which is the international governing body of motor sports. Top products are at home in all leagues.

mANuEL REutER

During the course of his racing career, Manuel reuter took part in more than 200 german Touring Car (DTM) Masters races. He drove his first DTM race car in 1985. Following that came two victories in the 24-hour race at LeMans, a victory at the 24-hour race at the nürburgring motor sports track and at the international Touring Car Championship in 1996. He is to this day a part of racing through his business, Driving Performance.

Cold ambient air represents no overcooling risk factor because the warm air inside the innerairChannels™ form an insulating cushion. During recovery, the cool-down process is interrupted by the lack of sweat. The air in both channels serves to warm and protect, using the body‘s own warmth to create a body aura: a protective shell that wards off the influence of cold.

INtERNAtIONALLY AWARDED:

3,552 DAYS Of RESEARCH& DEvELOpmENt.For more than 10 years we have been working on the X-BiOniC® energy accumulator®. each year it has performed even better. each year the trophies we won for it piled up - today we have 15 internationally renowned design prizes, not to mention innumerable top test results. This makes us very proud, but it doesn't put an end to our ambition to make it even better. With the energy accumulator® evO it's now come down to precision work. We aren't changing the entire concept, but we just hammer away on each small detail. if you optimise the single features, you end up improving the entire system. it's not about an entire revolution anymore. When it comes to functional apparel, that was already accomplished by the energy accumlator®. This is now all about evolution.

in performance sports, victory and defeat are often decided by the hundredth of a second. every seam has to be perfect and has to support the athlete optimally in every situation. That was the premise for the development and the set goal for our team.

Better performance via regulated compression, which reduces muscles oscillations, supports muscles and joints, as well as optimises the transport of nutrients.

Reduced muscle vibrationMuscle activity creates initially unnoticeable high-frequency vibrations. if the muscles tire, however, the

frequency of the oscillations becomes slower, and the muscle vibrations become perceptible. The muscles have no power. Compression stabilizes muscles from the outset. you save energy resources. ideal situation for high performance.

Improved muscle uptake of oxygen and nutrients

Compression has a stabilizing effect on the blood vessels. Support of the blood vessels reduces the load on the cardiovascular

system and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. Muscles and organs are supplied more rapidly with performance-enhancing oxygen and nutrients thanks to the more rapid recirculation of blood back through the heart.

1 tWO-StEp fRONt 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm The high-tech mesh knitting technology ensures optimal support and climate

comfort in the shorts. The different ribs and varying surface construction are able to solve the conflict between providing support whilst transporting moisture and heat.

2 ISO-CALfpAD™ – ANAtOmICALLY ADAptED Calf muscles can cool down quickly, particularly after short breaks and even if the

body is still warm. This can lead to a risk of injury. The iSO-CalfPad™ retains the body‘s warmth. To that end, the knitted fabric's wavelike structure lies over the skin, forming channels for storing air in a manner similar to the iSO-Shoulder™. The warmer air retained in these channels definitively delays the cool-down of the calf musculature and adjusts to the body‘s overall perception of warmth.

3 INNERLAp AIRCONDItIONINgzONE™

The inner thighs are less reactive to the cold in terms of muscle performance. This is where the innerlap airConditioningZone™ is placed. it is a fine network of knitted fabric with the Zero insulation Function.

4 EXpANSIONkNEE™ – 6 ADDItIONAL CHAmbERS a knee can be bent up to 160 °; however, most undergarments can’t withstand this

stress without being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of functional insulation. in contrast, the accordion-like construction of the expansionribs™ retains its insulating properties rather than losing them. a highly flexible system of chambers and channels spreads open with each movement, releasing the warm air stored inside.

5 AIRCONDItIONINg CHANNEL® – 30% mORE fRESH AIR The airConditioning Channel® is a ventilation system of channels that wrap around

the body, continuously carrying away moisture and warmth. it allows air to flow to body regions not normally accessible by fresh air circulation.

6 ImpROvED INSuLAtIONpADS™ ON tHE uppER tHIgH assist in the retention of heat in the thighs. under-cooled muscles are susceptible to

injury, and highly under-cooled muscles can feel numb. even more dangerous is when the cooling slows the muscle reaction time, leading to the increased threat of muscle injuries and risk of accidents. This increase can be as much as 60% in the case of skiing, for example. insulationPads™ reduce such risks. Shaped like waves, their protection lies over a large surface of the most superficial thigh muscle, thereby retaining the necessary heat next to the body to maintain muscle performance.

7 AIRCONDItIONINgSpOt™

The back of the knee perspires quickly and heavily. a fine, circular knitted fabric has been incorporated there. Perspiration dissipates and is pushed outward with the aid of body warmth so there is no risk of over-chilling.

8 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm At tHE tAILbONE Perspiration from the lower back is transported for evaporation via the

3D-BionicSphere® System on the tailbone.

A pOWERHOuSE Of HIgHER pERfORmANCEHardly perceptible on the skin, xitanit™ guarantees unlimited freedom of movement. For performance athletes every gram counts. nevertheless, muscles and organs have to maintain their optimal temperature. This is where the X-BiOniC® radiactor™ scores. it creates a unique relationship between thermal output and material strength.

1 ISO-SHOuLDER™

garments often drape heavily on the shoulders. add wind and the weight of rain, and garments for the upper body frequently sit snugly – an open door for cold. iSO-Shoulder™ forms an insulating layer to keep penetrating cold at bay. The gentle wavelike structure of the material allows channels to remain open so they continue to provide space to store warmed air. Outstanding protection against chilling upper body garments.

2 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm IN tHE CHESt AREA

The 3D-BionicSphere® System on the back provides cooling without the risk of overcoo-ling.

3 AIRCONDItIONINg CHANNEL® WItH zERO-INSuLAtION

Traditional thermal underwear does one thing systematically: it keeps the body enveloped in its own heat. But what can be a pleasant feeling at one point can lead quickly to overheating. Physiological studies have shown that the chest area is one of the optimal zones for swift and effective ventilation. The Zero-insulation zones function like valves as a part of the airConditioning Channels®.

4 AIRCOmpLEX-zONE in the solar plexus, directly under the twelfth

vertebrae of the thoracic region, important nerves receive signals that influence one’s entire well-being. The energy accumulator® evo protects this sensitive area with special channels. Locked-in warm air insulates optimally in the cold. The system’s structure processes excess sweat from physical activity and ensures appropriate coolness in the core.

8 AIRguIDES™

airguides™ work like spacers and borders along the airConditioning Channel®. The airConditioning Channel® must be combined with the airguides™ for winter use. The airguides™ maintain space between heavy winter upper body garments and a pack, whilst ensuring a highly effective quantity and flow of fresh air through the airConditioning Channel®.

9 AIRCONDItIONINg CHANNEL® WItH zERO-INSuLAtION

The latest knitting technology has enabled the combination of extremely thin materials, comparable to fine stockings, with thicker and highly insulating thermal elements. With that, Zero-insulation zones are created through which excess warmth can quickly escape. They are placed in areas which are key to temperature regulation and are so thin they do not affect the athlete’s sense of warm well-being. Zero-insulation zones are the perfect valve for dissipating excess warmth.

EXpANSIONRIbS™

The expansionribs™ that form the elbow cushion work similarly to the knee area, but are finer. The knitted fabric folds apart based on the accordion principle, ensuring that winter cold doesn‘t cool down the elbows. even when sharply bent, the insulating effect is maintai-ned through warm air stored in the interior. The flexibility of the expansionribs™ and the elasticity of the yarn allow a frictionless freedom of movement. even sports with continuous arm movement, such as nordic Walking, produce no symptoms of musculature exhaustion from the movement of the expansion-ribs™.

7 EXpANSIONRIbS™

The expansionribs™ that form the elbow cushion work similarly to the knee area, but are finer. The knitted fabric folds apart based on the accordion principle, ensuring that winter cold doesn‘t cool down the elbows. even when sharply bent, the insulating effect is maintained through warm air stored in the interior. The flexibility of the expansionribs™ and the elasticity of the yarn allow a frictionless freedom of movement. even sports with continuous arm movement, such as nordic Walking, produce no symptoms of musculature exhaustion from the movement of the expansion ribs™.

3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm ON tHE bACk

Leaves residual moisture on the skin that the body does not interpret as dampness. We have no sensors for sweat. We can only perceive sweat mechanically once drops form and begin to trickle down. Only at that point do we register «wet». SweatTraps® absorb this moisture before it is felt, drawing it away to be evaporated and disposing of it through thermal dynamics. Only a thin film of moisture remains on the skin. Cooling is of course not possible without moisture.

2 AIRCONDItIONINgSpOt™

The back of the knee perspires quickly and heavily. a fine, circular knitted fabric has been incorporated there. Perspiration dissipates and is pushed outward with the aid of body warmth so there is no risk of over-chilling.

3 ISO-pAD™

The insulated fill maintains warmth.

4 INNERLAp AIRCONDItIONINgzONE™

The inner thighs are less reactive to the cold in terms of muscle performance. This is where the innerlap airConditioningZone™ is placed. it is a fine network of knitted fabric with the Zero insulation Function.

5 3D-bIONICSpHERE® SYStEm At tHE tAILbONE

Perspiration from the lower back is transported for evaporation via the 3D-BionicSphere® System on the tailbone.

6 EXpANSIONkNEE™

a knee can bend up to 160 °: however, most undergarments can’t withstand this stress without being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of functional insulation. in contrast, the accordion-like construction of the expansionribs™ retains its insulating properties rather than losing them when the knee bends. a highly flexible system of chambers and channels spreads open with each movement, releasing the warm air stored inside.

7 INSuLAtIONpADS™ ON tHE uppER tHIgH assist in the retention of heat in the thighs. under-cooled muscles are

susceptible to injury, and highly under-cooled muscles can feel numb. even more dangerous is when the cooling slows the muscle reaction time, leading to the increased threat of muscle injuries and risk of accidents. This increase can be as much as 60% in the case of skiing, for example. insulationPads™ reduce such risks. Shaped like waves, their protection lies over a large surface of the most superficial thigh muscle, thereby retaining the necessary heat next to the body to maintain muscle performance.

8 AIRCONDItIONINg CHANNEL®

a targeted ventilation system of channels wraps around the body, allowing excess moisture to escape without the body perceiving a cold sensation.

9 ISO-CALfpAD™

Calf muscles can cool down quickly, particularly after short pauses and even if the overall body is still heated. This can lead to the risk of injury. The iSO-CalfPad™ retains the body‘s warmth. Here too the knitted fabric settles itself in a wavy shape over the skin, forming channels for storing air in a manner similar to the iSO-Shoulder™. The body-temperature air retained in these channels decisively delays the cool-down of the calf musculature and adjusts to the body‘s overall perception of warmth.

10 AIRguIDES™

airguides™ work like spacers and borders along the airConditioning Channel®. The airConditioning Channel® must be combined with the airguides™ for winter use. The airguides™ maintain space between heavy winter upper body garments and a pack, whilst ensuring a highly effective quantity and flow of fresh air through the airConditioning Channel®.

The 3D-BionicSphere® sweat deposit system operates very effectively in the underarm area. The human body has up to 3 million sweat glands, with the armpits packed with 300 of them per square centimetre. We all know what happens to cyclists’ armpits when they are exerting themselves. No sooner has a cyclist begun to warm up than the sweat begins to flow. But even before the beads of sweat form, excess sweat is sucked into the Outer AirTraps™, ready for transfer to the Evaporation Surface Expander™ surface.

for the coMpLete Man. Don’t waste a single drop: Sweat is too precious to throw it all away. Our skin needs moisture to cool itself down. Moisture must first evaporate from the skin before our body temperature can be pushed downward. Traditional technical base layers don’t account for this. They absorb moisture in its entirety and keep the skin as dry as possible. A mistake. Dry skin feels good, but it doesn’t cool.

11 airconDitioning channeL®

The AirConditioning Channel® is a ventilation system of channels that wrap around the body, continuously carrying away moisture and warmth. It allows air to flow to body regions not normally accessible by fresh air circulation.

12 innerLap airconDitioningZone™

In terms of muscle performance, the inner thigh is less reactive to cold. We all instinctively know this: When our hands are cold, we put them between our thighs to warm them up, helping us re-establish our overall sense of warmth more quickly. The Innerlap AirConditioningZone™ has been placed in this area. It is a finely knit fabric mesh with zero insulation. Cooling therefore occurs initially through the exchange of air. As soon as sweat has started to evaporate, the cooling process steps it up a notch since the activation system lies directly next to the skin.

13 airguiDes™

AirGuides™ work like spacers and borders along the AirConditioning Channel®. The AirConditioning Channel® must be combined with the AirGuides™ for winter use.

1 iso-paD™

The insulated fill maintains warmth.

2 innerLap airconDitioningZone™

In terms of muscle performance, the inner thigh is less reactive to cold. We all instinctively know this: When our hands are cold, we put them between our thighs to warm them up, helping us re-establish our overall sense of warmth more quickly. The Innerlap AirConditioningZone™ has been placed in this area. It is a finely knit fabric mesh with zero insulation. Cooling therefore occurs initially through the exchange of air. As soon as sweat has started to evaporate, the cooling process steps it up a notch since the activation system lies directly next to the skin.

3 insuLationpaDs™ on the upper thigh Assist in the retention of heat in the thighs. Under-cooled muscles

are susceptible to injury, and highly under-cooled muscles can feel numb. Even more dangerous is when the cooling slows the muscle reaction time, leading to the increased threat of muscle injuries and risk of accidents. This increase can be as much as 60 % in the case of skiing, for example. InsulationPads™ reduce such risks. Shaped like waves, their protection lies over a large surface of the most superficial thigh muscle, thereby retaining the necessary heat next to the body to maintain muscle performance.

4 eXpansionknee™

A knee can bend up to 160 °: however, most undergarments can’t withstand this stress without being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of functional insulation. In contrast, the accordion-like construction of the ExpansionRibs™ retains its insulating properties rather than losing them when the knee bends. A highly flexible system of chambers and channels spreads open with each movement, releasing the warm air stored inside.

5 3D-Bionicsphere® systeM at the taiLBone

The skin is equipped with a varying density of sweat glands, depending on the location on the body. This also applies to the placement of the SweatTraps® that are placed directly on the skin. These storage niches draw off excess moisture, preventing the formation of droplets and the unpleasant sensation when they begin to trickle.

6 airconDitioning channeL®

The AirConditioning Channel® is a ventilation system of channels that wrap around the body, continuously carrying away moisture and warmth. It allows air to flow to body regions not normally accessible by fresh air circulation.

7 airguiDes™

Work like spacers and borders along the AirConditioning Channel®.

8 airconDitioningspot™

The back of the knee perspires quickly and heavily. A fine, circular knitted fabric has been incorporated there.

9 iso-caLfpaD™

Calf muscles can cool down quickly, particularly after short pauses and even if the overall body is still heated. This can lead to the risk of injury. The ISO CalfPad™ retains the body’s warmth. Here too the knitted fabric settles itself in a wavy shape over the skin, forming channels for storing air in a manner similar to the ISO-Shoulder™. The body-temperature air retained in these channels decisively delays the cool-down of the calf musculature and adjusts to the body’s overall perception of warmth.

“ siMpLy perfect: X-Bionic® keeps us aBsoLuteLy perforMance-reaDy the entire year. Only in this way can we share the fun of skiing with our course participants.”

3D-Bionicsphere® systeM

Leaves residual moisture on the skin that the body does not interpret as dampness. We have no sensors for sweat. We can only perceive sweat mechanically once drops form and begin to trickle down. Only at that point do we register «wet». SweatTraps® absorb this moisture before it is felt, drawing it away to be evaporated and disposing of it through thermal dynamics. Only a thin film of moisture remains on the skin. cooling is of course not possible without moisture.

sweat heLps save energyTraditional functional undergarments siphon off all sweat, leading the body to continue to increase its sweat production. The result is loss of water, minerals and salt. The patented and unique 3D-BionicSphere® System retains important resources to keep you performing better. Less energy is expended in regulating body heat, leaving you more energy reserves for your training.

Skin NODOR®

reDuce sweat, Don’t prevent itFor automobile owners, the „MK“ marking system may just mean a simple model number. For the team of developers, though, these two letters alone represent months or even years of painstaking work and innumerable tests. The strategic focus is not just the design, but rather is more perfor-mance enhancements of the product: More horsepower, larger capacity, better chassis. In the end, of course, it’s all about higher speeds and better safety.

That’s exactly the philosophy of X-BIONIC®. Superior products, like the BIONIC Energizer™, aren’t just replaced, rather they are constantly improved. Our Swiss textile engineers needed months and months in the research laboratory together with our performance athletes. They focused mostly on the athlete, not on the product. How can we better suppport athletes in their endeavours? In the end, you could hardly recognize the BIONIC Energizer™ anymore: a much larger 3D-BionicSphere® System, newly defined ventilation chambers, better joint protection.

1 50% Larger evaporative surface – 3D-Bionicsphere®- systeM in the chest area

With the increase in size and anatomical fit, the 3D-BionicSphere® System works even more effectively. In the same period of time as before, it can process more sweat, and it can store 8 cm3 more air for insulation during recovery phases.

2 airconDitioning channeL®

The AirConditioning Channel® was made to conform to the newest medical research and frames the 3D-BionicSphere® System. That guarantees a quicker moisture transport even in the recovery phase when insulation is desired.

3 40 cM2 surface area for sweat transport Since a lot of sweat is produced in the chest area, SweatTraps® are placed strategically all around the 3D-BionicSphere® System here in order to speed the transport of moisture.

4 increaseD insuLation – siZe: 72 cM² – aircoMpLeX-Zone at the upper aBDoMen At the solar plexus, directly under the 12th thoracic vertebra, important nerve fibres come together and receive signals that influence one’s entire well-being. The Energizer™ MK2 Evo protects this sensitive area with special channels. Warm air enclosed there optimally insulates in the cold. The system’s structure processes excess sweat from physical activity and provides a nice, cool feeling all over.

turn sweat into energy. Sweat is too precious to throw it all away. Our skin needs moisture to cool itself down. When moisture evaporates from the skin an evaporative cooling process takes place that we use to maintain the optimal body temperature of 37 °C. Traditional technical base layers absorb moisture in its entirety so then the body steps up its sweat production. The result: Water, minerals and salts are lost. The globally unique and patented 3D-BionicSphere® System leaves a light film of sweat on the skin. The body is effectively and naturally cooled as long as it’s sweating. If sweating stops, the insulation function kicks in...and less energy is demanded for temperature regulation, which leaves more energy for your activity.

1 3D-Bionicsphere® systeM on the chest

Physiological studies have shown that the chest area is the best place to regulate body temperature quickly and effectively. Without giving the body the impression that it is getting cold, fresh air from the 3D-BionicSphere® System in the chest area cools down the body temperature. The air is tempered inside the ducts, working like a sluice. Hot, moist air is disposed of using the dynamics of body warmth and then replaced with new fresh air. No draughts, but perfect ventilation.

1 eXpansionknee™

A knee can bend up to 160 °: however, most undergarments can’t withstand this stress without being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of functional insulation. In contrast, the accordion-like construction of the ExpansionRibs™ retains its insulating properties rather than losing them when the knee bends. A highly flexible system of chambers and channels spreads open with each movement, releasing the warm air stored inside.

2 3D-Bionicsphere® systeM at the taiLBone Here, with the large built-in SweatTraps® of the 3D-BionicSphere® System,

the flow of sweat is stopped as it starts so the first phase that can lead to friction sores is interrupted. Due to the above human anatomy, sweat in this area is forced to converge and be absorbed in the carefully placed niches where it can be utilized for cooling. Excess sweat then evaporates.

3 airconDitioningspot™

The back of the knee perspires quickly and heavily. A fine, circular knitted fabric has been incorporated there.

two-step front 3D-Bionicsphere® systeM

The high-tech mesh knitting technology ensures optimal support and climate comfort in the shorts. The different ribs and varying surface construction are able to solve the conflict between providing support whilst transporting moisture and heat.

An optimally balanced personal climate is hard to maintain in the winter. It can get very cold on the ski lift then way too warm on the descent. X-BIONIC® INVENT precisely supports your body's temperature regulation. The three-dimensional knit structure can hold an insulating layer of air on the body (blue in the illustration). In the activity phase, excess warmth can be dissipated quickly via the AirConditioning Channel® and the AirConditioningSpots™(red in the illustration).

Do yoUr own coMparison test !

X-Bionic® high-transport yarn

A fast dispersal of excess sweat over a large surface area is essential for performance-enhancing apparel. Due to a special workmanship of the yarn, the surface area has been expanded and, thus, the efficiency of the sweat transport has been improved. Moisture is drawn into the material in a split second and, once there, can be utilised optimally for cooling.

X-Bionic® invent sweat is processed optimally.

traditional "Functional" Underwearafter 1 Minute, sweat is still not processed.

silicone-encapsulated yarn

Many manufacturers of "functional" underwear attempt to make their garments soft with a smooth hand by using a layer of silicone. Unfortunately, the material loses some of its functionality with this process. At the same time it gains a new undesirable function – it becomes water-repellent. After more than a minute moisture is still not absorbed (see a comparison illustration, above). The material feels silky and comfortable at first, but it doesn't function.

2019, 2010 anD 2011 X-Bionic® Most innovative BranD oF the year«The Plus X Award is world’s biggest technology, sport and lifestyle contest. Renowned trade journalists and industry personalities form the expert panel who decide, which is the most innovative brand with the most innovative products.

protects yoUr criticaL areas When joints are chilled while also put under stresses, your metabolism demands an especially large quantity of immunity protecting substances, particularly Vitamin C. Without this protection, the affected joint loses its mobility. As a result, the joint starts to swell and the articular cartilage weakens, causing an inflammation and pain due to articular surfaces pushing and rubbing against each other. To prevent this, these critical areas must kept warm. Special 3D structures help to insulate these spots.

3 Macrosphere™ systeM on the chest The amply sized MacroSphere System on the chest provides for cooling without the risk of chilling. Cools when you sweat, and warms when you're cold.

4 airconDitioning channeL® with zero-insULation   Traditional thermal underwear does one thing systematically: It keeps the

body enveloped in its own heat. But what can be a pleasant feeling at one point can lead quickly to overheating. Physiological studies have shown that the chest area is one of the optimal zones for swift and effective ventilation. The Zero-Insulation zones function like valves as a part of the AirConditioning Channel®.

5 sweattraps® Generously proportioned sweat traps under the arms prevent perspiration from running and cool effectively.

6 Fitting rips finely detailed ribbing provide for optimal fit of the underwear. With the

ribbed structure and its material, the shirt fits closely against the body without constricting. This optimises the functionality of the climate zones and guarantees a perfect fit.

7 airconDitioning spot™

8 MicroDiFFUser at the waist Precise ducts on the cuff create a highly comfortable band on the sleeve

and let the moist, hot air escape.

9 waLLaBy strUctUre Guarantees effective cooling. Highly effective evaporative cooling at the

wrist occurs via a surface area that is four times larger. Venous blood flowing past is cooled and returned to the body.

proprio-paDDing

Proprioreceptors are sensory receptors found in joints and muscles. They control your position and the movement of your body in space. Neuromuscular reaction time of the stabilising musculature is improved with the lightest touch of the ribbed structures on these spots. This actively ensures the balance and stability of your entire body.

iso-paDs™

The ribs of the ISO-Pads™ lie across the shoulders at regular intervals, holding warmth next to the body and protecting against chilling. This is where conventional jackets can lose a lot of warmth because the weight of the jacket or backpack compresses the insulative material and, thus, the effect is lost.

The ExpansionRibs™ that form the elbow cushion work similarly to the knee area, but are finer. The knitted fabric folds apart based on the accordion principle, insuring that winter cold doesn‘t cool down the elbows. Even when sharply bent, the insulating effect is maintained through warm air stored in the interior. The flexibility of the ExpansionRibs™ and the elasticity of the yarn allow a frictionless freedom of movement. Even sports with continuous arm movement, such as Nordic Walking, produce no symptoms of musculature exhaustion from the movement of the Expansion-Ribs™.
