Radiactor 4.0 Shirt & Pants 2018

Designers: X-Technology Swiss R&D AG., Wollerau, Switzerland
Manufacturer: X-Technology Swiss R&D AG., Wollerau, Switzerland


Outline
• We have developed the Radiactor decision layer for very cold weather conditions. It supports to achieve the highest performance, optimizes thermoregulation and stands out through excellent design.
• High cooling and heat capacity, reduced volume and many high-tech functions make the Radiactor 4.0 the perfect companion in extreme cold. The revolutionary X-BIONIC® Partial Compression® and the special heat-reflecting XITANIT® 2.0 fiber keep you warm and ensure excellent blood circulation.
• With patented 3D Bionic Sphere with ThermoSyphon® Technology: It cools when you sweat and warms when you’re cold. It makes possible to improve natural thermodynamics. The twisted and complex system of tunnels and channels increases the evaporation area.
• Thanks to Retina® technology, X-BIONIC® places functional zones more accurately than ever on the body. For example, moisture-storing areas and compression zones can be separated even more precisely from each other. They work not only where they can, but exactly where they should.

The most remarkable points
• Thinner material provides the same thermal performance.
• In cold weather, body heat is reflected inwards to keep you warm.
• Through patents and technologies, we offer a product with high functionality.

The reason/background the design was invented
We have developed the Radiactor decision layer for very cold weather conditions. It supports to achieve the highest performance, optimizes thermoregulation and stands out through excellent design. Both shirt and pants consist of XITANIT 2.0 on the inside and the Symbionic membrane on the outside. These excellent innovative materials, which X-BIONIC developed and which have won numerous international awards, maximize heat retention, optimize moisture transport and provide perfect protection against inclement weather. Technically sophisticated, highly detailed solutions at the joints guarantee insulation and unrestricted freedom of movement.

Background and achievement of design realization
The engineers at X-BIONIC have combined the best X-BIONIC technologies with a special fiber: Xitanit 2.0. Its unique feature is a triangular cross-section with flat outer sides. These intensively reflect heat inwards and outwards. In cold weather, body heat is reflected inwards to keep you warm. When the sun shines intensely, heat is reflected to the outside so you stay cool.
