Bionic EnergizerのX-UnderGearのアンダーウエアがインラインスケーターにも適していると雑誌「Skate-in」のサイトで紹介しています。素材は体温を一定に保つ「37° CCR-Technology」なので、オールシーズン使えそうです。X-SOCKSでも実績があるだけに、この高機能ウエアに期待できそうです。 High-quality underwear for active Inline Skater。

37°CCR-Technology™ Cools When You Perspire, Warms When It’s Cold

X-UnderGear™; is the first underwear worldwide to incorporate 37°CCR-Technology™. This technology is based on the observation that the body consists of different climate zones that react differently to physical exertion. Whereas some areas are highly prone to hypothermia (e.g. thighs, knees, calves), others quickly produce excess heat. Accordingly, this means the body has to regulate its heat balance differently in these different zones in order to maintain an optimal core temperature of 37°C. For example, some areas typically perspire heavily and others quickly feel cold, while others do not. Conventional underwear cannot do this fact justice, since all parts of the body are insulated to the same degree. On the other hand, X-UnderGear™ works according to the principle of individual climate regulation, like the body itself. Depending on the typical response of individual areas of the body and on the degree of physical exertion, it not only provides effective protection from excessive cooling: The multifunctional Interface of X-UnderGear™ with 37°CCR-Technology™ simultaneously allows excess heat to be transported to the surrounding air or to those areas where additional heat is needed. Underwear™ features unique functions that provide for effective cooling and drying of the skin. AirTraps™ with climate channels allow moisture to escape and evaporate. The cooling effect of evaporation cools the air in the climate channels and thus the skin's surface, even though the skin is not covered in perspiration. This is particularly important whenever strenuous physical activity leads to heavy perspiration, as in the case of the back, for example. When activity is less strenuous, AirTraps™ make use of the insulating properties of air to protect the same areas from cold and prevent shivering. This unique alternation of warming and cooling functions ensures optimal, precise climate control for the body during physical activity.

X-UnderGear® warmes, cooles and dries exactly where needed! Thermal Images demonstrate the principle

Surface Temperature of ca. 22°C - Heat Insulation The shoulder area is an area of high heat insulation. For this reason, X-UnderGear™ for winter sports incorporates AirTraps™ IsolationPads™ in this area. They conduct heatback to the body and offer effective protection from the cold. Surface Temperature of ca. 25°C/27°C The rapid alternation of yellow and red areas clearly demonstrates the effect of the triangular-shaped Turtleback™. Alternating areas of the back are warmed and cooled, resulting in a sensation of constant temperature over the entire back area. Surface Temperature of ca. 27°C - Maximum Heat Emission The area around the shoulder blades and the ArmPits™ does not contain any crucial organs. For this reason, the area is a heat discharge zone. Surface Temperature of ca. 24°C – Medium Heat Emission The central part of the body requires heat to support the function of the interior organs. Heat discharge is kept at a medium level in this area. Regulation is conducted through the BodyControl AirConditioning Channel™. Surface Temperature of ca. 26°C/24°C Heat is given off in the AirConditioning Zone™ of the inner thigh (low risk of hypothermia/red); on the other hand, heat is retained in the outer thigh area in order to support muscle function (green). Surface Temperature of ca. 26°C Excess heat and moisture is produced in the knee bend. The AirConditioning Spot™ has been integrated here to ensure effective climatization of this area. The thermal image demonstrates the functionality, clearly showing that heat is given off in this zone.

X-Undergear

28 DEGREES CELSIUS ENHANCED PERFORMANCE WITHOUT DOPING. Our bodies produce different amounts of heat in different places. X-BIONIC® UnderGear reacts to this with pinpoint precision and supports the body in maintaining its preferred 37°C temperature. The fi rst proof comes through a regulated release of warmth without the risks of overcooling: you conserve precious energy for your ability to perform. COOLS WHEN YOU`RE SWEATING. The cooling effect of X-BIONIC® UnderGear is only activated once you start sweating. Its clever regulation system works with the most reliable of starters: your sweat. One of a kind, effective and always just in time with its cooling power. Regulated climate control, developed by scientists, tested by endurance athletes. REDUCE SWEAT,DON`T PREVENT IT. Cools when it‘s hot, heats when it‘s cold. Don‘t waste a single drop: sweat is too precious to dispose of completely. Our skin needs moisture to cool itself down. Moisture must fi rst vaporise on the skin before our body temperature can be reduced. Traditional active undergarments don‘t account for this. They absorb moisture in its entirety and keep the skin as dry as possible. A mistake. Dry skin feels good, but it doesn‘t cool. KEEPS YOU WARM WHEN YOU`RE COLD. You know that unpleasant feeling of having just sweated and then getting goose bumps afterward. Your body is sounding the alarm: Caution, overcooling risk. X-BIONIC® UnderGear prevents these chills. If no sweat is present, then a unique process uses air heated by the body as thermal insulation.
