Clima Cool ® Apparel
ClimaCool® isn't just another moisture wicking fabric. It is an integrated system of technologies that work together to regulate the athlete's body temperature far better than any single fabric technology can.
Clima Cool® apparel activity conducts heat and sweat away frm 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.
By mapping the body's critical heat and sweat zones using infrared cameras, it was possible to place these technologies exactly where they are needed to optimize the athlete's the athlete's body temperature. An athlete can actually stay cooler in ClimaCool ® apparel than they can in bare skin.
Clima Cool ® Footwear
Like the racecars that inspire them, ClimaCool ® footwear scavenges the slow moving air surrounding a shoe during exercise, and conducts it through aerodynamically optimized air channels to cool the foot.
adidas tested the movement of air around a runner's shoe and positioned ventilation ducts in locations scientifically proven to mayimize air velocity to the foot.
Along with ducts positioned on the sides and outsole of the shoe, evry ClimaCool® shoe is built with a fully ventilated mesh upper and breathable sock liner to ensure maximum airflow penetrating the shoe and cooling the foot from every side. The 360 degree ventilation system transports heat and sweat away from the foot and out of the shoe as you exercise, providinga 40% increase in cooling over a conventional runnung shoe which, in testing, comes surprisingly close to wearing no shoes at all. |
