«Endurance athletes consume up to 97% of their energy for controlling their body temperature.» That is the result of scientific investigations conducted by Professor Wilfried Joch at Münster University and his colleague Dr. Sandra Ückert at Dortmund University. Therefore, only 3% of the energy goes towards the actual sport. This shows that cooling is of utmost importance.

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 adept 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 from overheating. The X-BIONIC® Team of researchers have used the same principles in X-BIONIC® products and developed the new material xitanit™.

The 3D-BionicSphere® System, at the chest, is the entry point for the circulating air inside. Extensive studies of the human physiology have shown that the chest area is the optimal location for the undisturbed supply of climate regulating air. Climate regulation is most effective there. The air cushions in the storage niches function as warmth, coldness and moisture regulators.

Spacers guarantee air circulation inside the jacket and achieve an optimum body climate. The design, with the specially arranged SpaceFrame™ elements from X-BIONIC®, ensures a defined airflow in selected zones inside the clothing system. In this way, warm, moist air is ducted out of the system, optimizing climate control and the evaporation process. Evaporation involves dispersing moisture to the surrounding air. read
