adidas Unveils Climawarm System for Sub-Zero Race Conditions
adidas have unveiled CLIMAWARM SYSTEM, warm-up apparel to help elite athletes prepare for the pinnacle of the winter sports this month. CLIMAWARM SYSTEM is the next generation of pre-warming performance technology, engineered for the most demanding cold-weather competitions.
Including a pre-warming jacket and trousers to be worn by some of winter sport’s leading athletes, the CLIMAWARM SYSTEM is designed and built for use in critical moments before competition helping to solve one of winter sport’s critical challenges: keeping muscles primed and maintaining peak power in extreme cold.
How does it work? adidas have built in ultra-thin Clim8® heating pads that are integrated directly into the garments and strategically placed on major power muscle groups, helping to reduce heat loss during warm-up and waiting periods. The adaptive system features Eco and Boost modes and it responds to the wearer’s movement and ambient conditions. Via targeted temperature assistance the system provides warmth to the most important areas of the body, when needed most, while a built-in safety mechanism helps prevent overheating.
The jacket and trousers are constructed with a low bulk, performance tuned fabric made to move with the athlete, supporting sprinting, gliding, pushing and launching during warm-ups and pre-start routines. Designed to be worn only before competition and removed at the start line, the system integrates seamlessly into elite race-day routines. The pre-warming technology has been developed alongside world-class winter sport programs and informed by extensive athlete feedback and observations across disciplines including cross-country skiing, bobsleigh and skeleton.
