X-bionic® running wear utilises the energy from sweating and helps to maintain the ideal body temperature of 37°c when doing sport. The effect is 30% more energy for your sport.
«endurance athletes use up to 97% of their energy just regulating their body temperature», scientists have discovered. This means: keeping cool improves performance. it is inspired by the fennec, a desert fox whose silver-glistening fur reflects the heat radiated by the sun and surroundings, and ensures its survival in the desert, X-bionic® puts the revolutionary material XiTaniT™ into its fennec™ shirt, which is also capable of reflecting heat. The XiTaniT™ works like a heat shield. The shirt becomes hot on the outside while remaining cool inside. heat emission, sweat distribution and evaporation, as well as the heat-pipe construction, are further elements of cooling technology found in the fennec™ running shirt. Skinnodor® wiTh nano-TechnologY is a clima-active nano-filament which contains an inorganic bacteriostatic agent. The ions inside the fiber inhibit the reproduction of micro-organisms.
fennec™-Technologie reflects the heat: the fennec is the role model – its silvery, glossy fur reflects the heat rays and ensures its survival in the desert.
HeatPipe Cooling the heatpipe Micro-System uses the sweat for additional cooling.

3D-BionicSphere®-System works from its position on the chest and the back. without the sensation of wetness or heat. no risk of overcooling during recovery. The cooling is activated only when the body‘s temperature rises and sweating begins. if no sweat is present, then the system serves as insulation. The 3d-bionicSphere®System only begins to cool once you are sweating. 3D-BionicSphere-System® on the coccyx the sweat of the lower back area is conducted through the 3d-bionicSphere®System coccyx for evaporation. Intercooler this 3d construction collects perspiration on the upper thigh and maintains it directly upon the skin so as to evaporate it to maximum effect directly on this important muscle group. in between periods of exertion, the intercooler’s rib technology lies in waves upon the muscle to provide insulation. The locked-in air protects these vulnerable muscles from over-cooling.
Bionic research nature has developed ways of surviving in some of the most hostile climates on the planet. The desert fox or fennec (vulpes zerda) is perfectly adapted to life in the desert. its bright silver colour and the special structure of its coat allow it to reflect the heat of the desert sun. radiated heat is reflected by the fox‘s thick coat, preventing its body

3D-BionicSphere®-System in the chest area physiological studies have shown that the chest is one of the key areas to benefit from quick and efficient temperature conditioning. The fresh-air ventilation action of the 3d-bionicSphere®-System cools the core temperature of the chest while preventing the body from feeling cold. using a system similar to that of a canal lock, air within the special channels is kept temperate. hot water vapour is drawn away by the dynamics of body temperature and fresh air takes its place. no draught is created; instead, the body is perfectly air-conditioned.
Underarm SweatTraps the 3d-bionicSphere® sweat deposit system operates very effectively in the armpit area. The human body has up to 3 million sweat glands, with the armpits crowding in 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 drops form, the excess sweat is sucked into the outer airTraps™, ready for transfer to the evaporation Surface expander™ surface.
Compression the Mid-impact Technology™ minimises muscle vibrations and provides support for muscles and joints. it stimulates cardiovascular circulation, improving the supply of blood to the muscles and resulting in higher performance.
Compression without restricting freedom of movement or influencing the fit , this pressure stimulates one’s sense of the body. The entire movement process becomes more precise and efficient – your muscle performance improves.
3D-BionicSphere®-System for the back the high metabolic rate of the cyclist and the resultant heat creates a circulation of air within the X-bionic® Shirt itself, air which is conducted to the back section of the garment, where the 3d-bionicSphere® ventilation channels go about their task of keeping the cyclist cool and dry. Temperature and humidity regulation takes place at various levels within the system, keeping the cyclist cool.

Heat Reflector the unique XiTaniT™ fibre allows the outer surface of the jersey to reflect external radiant heat. boiling hot sunshine, gleaming black asphalt and heated building facades are all environmental factors that raise a cyclist‘s temperature. This radiation is prevented from penetrating to the skin of the athlete and reflected outwards. The effect is palpable; the jersey heats up on the outside but stays cool on the interior. external sources of heat are neutralised. for wearers of the jersey, the sensation is of riding a bike in the shade.
