BOSTON and WOLLERAU, Switzerland, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global sports brand PUMA and Swiss apparel technology group X-BIONIC have designed a collection of thermoregulating running gear, which will keep athletes at an optimal temperature during all phases of a run, notwithstanding the conditions outside.
X-BIONIC's patented 3D Bionic Sphere with ThermoSyphon technology warms you when you are cold and cools you when you are warm. It does so by using sweat as a key element in the thermoregulation process, leaving a thin film of moisture on the skin without the body feeling wet. Excess sweat can easily evaporate, as it is transported away from the body.
Responding to a growing need for innovative running gear that allows athletes to put in their best performance, the PUMA I X-BIONIC collection will consist of short sleeve shirts, running shorts, long and short socks, and jackets.
"PUMA is always looking to bring best-in-class technology to our consumers and partnering with specialists is one way to do that," commented Charles Johnson, PUMA's Global Director of Innovation. "With X-BIONIC our intent was to create an apparel collection that would allow our top-performing athletes and consumers to feel comfortable regardless of climate conditions. This is a great partnership; one that combines X-BIONIC technology with PUMA design."
"By integrating our award winning, patented technology into this one-of-a-kind running capsule, PUMA I X-BIONIC becomes an icon of athletic excellence," said Professor Dr. Bodo Lambertz, Founder of X-BIONIC.
The X-BIONIC patented technology is designed for athletes to keep an optimal temperature zone and partial muscle compression, using sweat as a key element in the thermoregulation process. The 3D BIONIC SPHERE SYSTEM with ThermoSyphon technology leaves a thin film of moisture on the skin without the body feeling wet. Sweat Traps then transport the excess sweat, allowing it to evaporate, then disposing of it via thermal dynamics.
Keep optimally performing with PUMA, the new PUMA I X-BIONIC collaboration will be available starting January 1st, 2020 on PUMA.com, PUMA Stores worldwide, and X-BIONIC.com.
