X-Bionic Twyce 4.0 Running Shorts 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.

• 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.

• Neural Response Bandage

  The neuro-response bandage exerts targeted pressure at the muscle insertion, puts the receptors into action and improves muscle work.
  Apply targeted pressure to your muscles.
  The Neural-Response-Bandage exerts targeted pressure on the muscle attachment, prepares the receptors for action and improves the work of the muscles

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Smart Phone Pocket

  As an important everyday companion, the smartphone needs a safe place close to the body during sports without disturbing or hindering movement.
  
  Secure protection for the smartphone even during intensive sporting activity.

• Twyce® Cool Zone

  "If we could double the sweat evaporation zone, we would also have more cooling." Dr. René Rossi, EMPA scientist
  Double Cooling. Better Performance. TWYCE® Cool Zone with Y-Structure
  The X-BIONIC® TWYCE® innovation: the Y-Structure created from hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres generates a "push-pull effect", which helps to transport sweat more quickly from the ThermoSyphon® Technology, and to distribute it where it can evaporate with maximum cooling effect.

• 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.

• Comfort4000FX Bike Pad

  The Comfort4000 FX bike pad is anatomically shaped and perfectly adapts to the female anatomy. In this way, pressure-sensitive blood vessels and nerves are relieved. The pad is not simply sewn on, as is the case with conventional cycling shorts. X-BIONIC® cuts out the seat pad during the production of the shorts and then sews it in by hand, so that the fit and elasticity of the pad is not affected by the fabric of the shorts. This guarantees fit and comfort never experienced before.
  Leave the suffering to your opponents.
  The Comfort4000 FX Bike Pad is anatomically formed and fits the female anatomy perfectly. With it, pressure is removed from sensitive capillaries and nerves.

• Intercooler

  The thigh muscles are an important cooling zone of the human body. However, the large muscle is prone to cooling down easily, especially under harsh conditions.
  Large-scale welding management.
  This 3D construction collects perspiration on the upper thigh and maintains it directly upon the skin so it can evaporate optimally while directly on this muscle group. Between periods of exertion, the Intercooler's rib technology lies in a wavelike structure on the muscle to provide insulation. The locked-in air protects the muscles from overcooling.

• Smart Compression

  For the body to maintain its performance level during sustained exercise, the cardiovascular system needs support. This task is performed by functional underwear with compression technology, which promotes venous blood return to the heart. Here, a perfect fit is just as important as intelligently positioned compression zones.
  
  Smart Compression improves blood circulation, reduces muscle vibration, optimises performance.
