Clothing Features
Using Body Mapping designers are able to integrate the benefits of ClimaLite, ClimaCool, ClimaWarm and ClimaProof into a single product by placing each technology exactly where it is needed, according to sport specific requirements. With Clima365 athlete's stay dry, comfortable and performing at their peak in any given temperature or weather conditions.
ClimaLite fabric pulls sweat away from the skin to the outer fabric face for quick evaporation, enhancing the body's natural temperature regulation. It's wicking performance can be achieved through various options. These can be either cross sectional fibres and/or fabric finishing such as hydrophilic finish and/or the usage of micro fibres.
An athlete can actually stay cooler in ClimaCool apparel than they can in bare skin. ClimaCool activity conducts heat and sweat away from the body through a combination of heat and moisture dissipating materials, ventilation channels and three-dimensional fabrics that allow air to circulate close to the skin.
ClimaWARM is lightweight, breathable insulation that keeps you dry and comfortable in cold weather conditions by using denselywoven synthetic fibres to trap warm air close to the skin. While these fibres are dense enough to trap air, they are spaced far enough apart to easily allow heat sapping sweat to escape through evaporation.
ClimaProof Wind Breathable, lightweight protection. Keeps you warm by blocking wind, while allowing the sweat to evaporate away from the skin. ClimaProof Rain Wind & Waterproof protection for an extra level of weather and temperature protection in cold, rainy conditions. ClimaProof Storm Highly wind & Waterproof, built for extreme conditions where maximum protection over a long period.
ForMotion apparel is 3D engineered to follow every curve of an athlete's body and mimic the natural movement for a better fit and greater comfort while in motion. It's sport specific cuts also feature extreme stretch zones that allow the garment to move naturally with the body even during the most strenuous activities. It is tailored for the needs of different sports.
Adidas TECHFIT is high performance technology designed for mobility and maximum blood flow. Strategically placed zones maximize blood flow, control muscle vibration and support mobility while focusing on muscle recovery. Performance apparel with strategically placed ventilation in critical sweat zones keep the athlete cool, while the seamless body construction results in reduced friction points. Overall Adidas TechFit improves joint alignment, muscle balance and body posture to maximise power generation while exercising.
High performance training wear which improves body stability and posture, whil ereducing muscle vibration through high compression. Strategically placed Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Powerbands work with the body to store energy which would normally be lost, and returns this to smplify explosive movements.
