Technology Review

Mizuno has always been a leader in technological improvements to running shoes and gear, and has yet another breakthrough! BREATH THERMO© is a unique type of insulation fabric which generates heat from the absorption of moisture to keep you warm and dry. What the heck does that mean??? It means that, as you sweat in cool weather, your shirt heats up to keep you warm and dry! For those of you who want the more technical explanation... the exothermic properties of BREATH THERMO characteristically change moisture into heat (the colder it is, the higher the heat generating effect of BREATH THERMO). The heat is generated via a molecular reaction between perspiration and the properties of the BREATH THERMO fabric.

For everyone, this is especially useful for protecting the body from cool temperatures, keeping you warm, dry, and comfortable.

Here are a couple of benefits of the BREATH THERMO© technology:

• Will continue to retain heat and wicking properties despite sudden changes in the weather. Not that we have too many "sudden" weather changes here in Santa Cruz, but consider going from a cool, damp morning to the sunny, warmer mid-morning and early afternoon weather on those long runs/walks/rides
• Bottom line: wear less and stay warm and dry in cool or cold running conditions

It performs well and feels just like any of your other technical t-shirts. Come by and talk to us more about this exciting technology!
