X-Bionic Energy Accumulator 4.0 Melange Shirt Long Sleeve Men

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• AirComPlex zone

  At the solar plexus, directly below the twelfth thoracic vertebra, important nerve cords of the organs meet. Information that influences the entire well-being flows past here. The Energy Accumulator® EVO protects this sensitive zone with special channels. Enclosed warm air provides optimal insulation against cold. During physical exertion, the structure processes excess sweat and ensures a good, cool feeling in the stomach
  AirComPlex zone on the upper abdomen
  The AirComPlex-Zone protects the sensitive area on the solar plexus with special channels. Warm air enclosed there insulates perfectly in the cold. The system's structure processes excess sweat from physical activity and ensures appropriate coolness in the core.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
