Wintersports

Outdoor

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.

AirConditioning Channel

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

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.

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.

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™.

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

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®.

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.

ISO-Pad™

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

X-BIONIC® Partial Kompression Decision Layer

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

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®.

Wintersports Decision Layer 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 effective 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.

Philosophy

sPonsoring

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.

Outdoor

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.

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. • Born 1961, German • Active racing participation until 2005

Decision Layer

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 (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), which is the international governing body of motor sports. Top products are at home in all leagues.

Wintersports

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 presented the X-BIONIC® FireShield System at the start of the 2010 German 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.

2009 GOOD DESIGN AWARD X-BIONIC® Radiactor™ Underwear Internationally acclaimed by the Chicago Athenaeum with the world's oldest and most highly sought-after award, for the most innovative and best-designed product:

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.

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.

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.

The 3D-BionicSphere® System at the chest with its larger dimensions is designed for high-intensity physical exertion and provides for cooling.

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.

In contrast, the accordion-like construction of the ExpansionRibs™ retains its insulating properties rather than losing them when the knee bends.

“Exactly the right thing for bitterly cold days on the trails.”

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.

3D-BionicSphere® System in the chest area

Biking

The 3D-BionicSphere® System at the chest with its larger dimensions is designed for high-intensity physical exertion and provides for cooling.

ISO-Pad™ The insulated fill maintains warmth.

Insulation Pads™

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.

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.

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.

The back of the knee perspires quickly and heavily. To process this sweat, a finely knit mesh allows moisture to pass through but does not impair knee motion. Sweat evaporates and is pushed outward with the help of body warmth. The risk of over-cooling does not exist in this small area.

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.

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™.

Traditional 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.

For 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 performance enhancements of the product: More horsepower, larger capacity, better chassis. In the end, of course, it’s all about higher speeds and better safety.

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

Philosophy Biking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

MacroSphere System

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

Running

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.

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.

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.
