X-Bionic Effektor 4.0 Cycling Zip Shirt Short Sleeve Women

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• Air-Conditioning Channel®

  Traditional thermal underwear does one thing systematically: Keeps the self-produced heat longer on the body. This can be very pleasant, but from a certain activity level this can quickly lead to overheating of the body.
  Fresh air circulation for more performance.
  The permanent air movement along the Air-Conditioning Channel® effectively draws out and removes moisture from the sweat zones.

• Neural Response Effect

  Sports success needs the best contacts. Especially between brain and muscle. If this is not the case, there is a risk of poor movement and slow reaction speed.
  Ignites the power high in your neurons
  X-BIONIC® Partial Compression® puts peripheral nerve cells in a constant state of "fight or flight" via a steady stimulus. They then react quickly to stimulation, causing muscle contractions and reactions to increase.

• Partial compression®

  Compression sportswear improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, reduces muscle vibrations and helps to speed up recovery. Large-area, mechanical pressure can negatively influence the blood circulation in the tissue. If no sweat remains on the skin, the blood cannot be cooled. This leads to a reduction in the functioning of the body's own cooling system.
  A new benchmark in compression technology.
  Partial Compression® 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 the veins and capillaries remains unimpended.

• Sweat Traps®

  Of the up to three million sweat glands on our skin, up to 300 per square centimetre are located within the armpit. Everyone knows what happens here during a run. Already when warming up the muscles, the sweat begins to trickle.
  Catches wetness before it becomes palpable.
  Large dimensioned sweat traps, ergonomically positioned based on laboratory tests, prevent the moisture from dripping and provide active cooling.

• ISO-Shoulder

  The ISO pads on the shoulder keep insulating air in this area at risk of cooling. Often clothing hangs heavily on the shoulders. Add wind and the weight of snow, and outerwear presses down on the shoulder. A free pass for cold. The ISO-Shoulder forms an insulating layer that repels penetrating cold. In slight waves, the material does not cover the entire surface, but forms channels in which body-warm air is stored. An excellent protection against chilled through outerwear.

  ISO-Shoulder forms an insulating layer to keep penetrating cold at bay. Outstanding protection against chilling upper body garments.

• Bike Pocket

  Pockets can be irritating and difficult to access while doing sports.
  
  Rear pockets are positioned to provide maximum accessibility without restricting the cyclist's freedom of movement. Also constructed with elastisized tops so gear isn‘t jolted out over rough terrain.

• Dolphin Rider Neck

  When cycling, the demands on functional clothing are particularly high. Intelligent temperature management and maximum ergonomic adaptability are among the features that ensure smooth and performance-enhancing interaction with all sports equipment.
  
  Ergonomically optimized and streamlined collar, based on typical position during cycling, to avoid helmet-collar-collisions.

• 3D Bionic Sphere® System with ThermoSyphon® Technology

  Depending on the ambient temperature, functional clothing must ensure reliable thermoregulation even when performance is sustained. Only an enlarged evaporation area and efficient sweat management guarantee an optimal skin climate even under load. The idea is to reduce sweat, not to prevent it.
  Unique and extremely effective temperature management.
  The patented ThermoSyphon® structure adds an extra dimension to the special properties of the 3D Bionic Sphere® system: Y-shaped elements support natural thermodynamics and thus improve sweat management.

• Flexor Arm Cuff

  Functional clothing with a poor fit that slips with every movement disturbs well-being and reduces performance. For maximum comfort, the material and cut must adapt to the physiological motion sequence.
  The optimal fit supports the motion sequence
  Assymetrical arm cuff to avoid unpleasant sleeve movement.

• Front Zip

  Perfect fit, easy handling, quick dressing and undressing, no passage for wind and weather: high-quality functional clothing is cut to the smallest detail to meet all these requirements.
  
  Practical front zipper, concealed to protect against penetrating cold and moisture.

• IDEO-Waistband

  During continuous movement, slipping functional underwear can lead to annoying friction. Only outstanding material and an optimal fit guarantee a performance-enhancing sense of well-being.
  Ideally designed, ergonomically optimized.
  The ideally designed, ergonomically optimised waistband, with higher cut in the back, keeps the garment in place even during constant movements.

• ISO front

  
  
  

• 3D Bionic Sphere® System

  The body sweats during activities. The natural cooling system keeps the body at an ideal 37°C by means of sweat. Traditional thermal underwear draws the cooling sweat away from the skin. This tempts the body to produce even more sweat. Valuable fluids, minerals and salts are lost without efficient cooling. This reduces performance.
  Cools when you sweat. Warms when you're cold.
  The award-winning 3D Bionic Sphere® System stops unpleasant moisture, the feeling of overheating during rigorous activity and prevents cooling during rest and recovery phases.

• Heat Transfer Zone

  The basic precondition for effective thermoregulation is optimum heat dissipation.
  Optimum Heat Dissipation
  The extremely fine mesh between the compression ridges allows heat to be optimally dissipated.

• Active-Bund®

  No clothing is more disturbing than the one that constantly slips, cuts in and hinders freedom of movement. This has to be prevented.
  Highly adaptable for perfect fit
  The highly elastic Aktiv-Bund provides a secure fit and support without constricting or impeding movement.
