X-Bionic Energy Accumulator 4.0 Armadillo 3/4 Pants

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.

• Innerlap AirConditioning Zone®

  The inner thighs are less cold-active in terms of muscle performance.
  Efficient cooling no matter what the conditions
  Air permeability is increased in this area through the Innerlap AirConditioning Zone®, the insulation layer is reduced, so air conditioning is strengthened by air exchange.

• 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.

• Air Guides®

  Outerwear can lie heavily on the body and hinder the thermoregulation through functional underwear. In order to maintain the ventilation function, it is necessary to keep a distance between the functional and outer garments.
  Work like spacers and side stops along the Air-Conditioning Channels®.

• AirConditioningSpot

  Since the back of the knees sweat quickly and heavily, a fine, round mesh fabric is incorporated there. With the help of body heat, excess sweat is pressed outwards, where it evaporates without the risk of cooling down.
  Cools the knee without the risk of cooling.
  The AirConditioningSpot cools without chilling.

• 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.

• Expansion Ribs®

  Knees and elbows can bend up to 160 degrees. That hardly makes a wash with, without thinning out and thus losing the heat function.
  Freedom of movement and high insulation combined.
  The flexibility of the Expansion Ribs® and the elasticity of the yarn allow frictionless freedom of movement without the risk of cooling down.

• 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.

• InsulationPads

  The InsulationPads keep the thigh muscles warm. Severely hypothermic muscles can feel numb. But it becomes dangerous when the muscle reaction time slows down due to the cooling. Then not only muscle injuries threaten, but also the risk of accidents increases dangerously.
  Maintain your muscle power - always
  The X-BIONIC® InsulationPads assist in the retention of heat in the thighs and thus reduce the risk of injury.

• ISO pads

  11 channels each form the ISO pads at the hips and even extend over the waistband. Large areas of the organs are thus protected from the cold. In winter, it is possible to protect the body from freezing by specifically insulating individual body parts from ambient cold. Thus the ISO pads over the hip bones and also the finer ISO pads on the buttocks keep the warmth on the body, which is necessary to guarantee the internal organ functions. At regular intervals, the ribs of the ISO pads drape over the shoulders, keeping warmth on the body and protecting against chilling. This is where a lot of heat is lost with conventional jackets, because the weight of the jacket or backpack compresses the insulation material so that it loses its effect.
  More insulation area
  ISO pads enable targeted insulation of individual body parts from a cold environment. By retaining body heat that is necessary to guarantee interior organ functions the temperature-regulating zones prevent the cooling down of the whole body.

• 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.

• Impact Pro Yarn

  
  Full body protection
  Keeps your body specially protected - without restricting freedom of movement and with simultaneous thermoregulation. The knitted material also has remarkable softness and flexibility.
