At the adidas 2014 range launch they showed me some new tops in their “Training” range. The innovations were aluminium dots on the upper back and a flat fibre weave with titanium threads. Aluminium conducts heat well, so the idea here is that as you move around in the gym, the dots transfer the heat through the material, making you feel cool. The flat fibre weave is touted to give it efficient wicking properties and it lends a lightweight thin feel to the material, whilst the titanium threads do not conduct heat well, so remain near ambient temperature for a while, making the garment feel cool.
