London Olympics: Athletes Will Wear High Tech Robes And War Boots.

For high-tech swimsuits with great fame. Shark clothing We still remember the magical effect of this. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Phelps and other swimming famous swimmers wore this "magic bathing suit" and broke the world record. Although the "shark suit" was stopped in sports, the highest technology that mimics the skin of sharks is burning on the market. As the SPEEDO brand's preheating and tribute to the 2012 London Olympic Games, it was the first time in November last year that it was the only public sale in the Chinese market. It quickly ignited the passion of collecting enthusiasts from the vast number of swimming fans, and put on the "shark suit" which was formerly exclusively for professional swimmers, and became the aspiration of many swimmers.

Then, what high-tech robes and war boots will emerge on the 2012 London Olympic Games? Will these new weapons extend technology to the market, like consumers of the "shark suit"?

Science and technology fabrics should be "moist" in London

Heng Yuan Xiang is tailored for the Chinese Olympic delegation. Full dress And the fashion circle can sacrifice the wearing comfort for the design concept. The Olympic dress production team is faced with a big challenge: the dress occasions require beautiful appearance, but the wearers - athletes prefer a relaxed and comfortable "sports wind". How can we achieve the balance between these two demands on cutting?

"To solve this problem, we need to use scientific and technological means, which is mainly reflected in the wisdom of design." Ge Ming, deputy general manager of the Chinese Olympic Committee's partner and Shanghai Heng Yuan Xiang Fashion Co., Ltd., said Heng Yuan Xiang was bold and innovative, and knitted fabrics were used as an important occasion. In 2008, the Olympic ceremonial dress used the woven fabrics mostly used in traditional Western-style clothes. The coat made was very stiff, but the elasticity was small and the ductility was relatively low. On the contrary, knitted fabrics are not flexible enough, but they are very elastic. On the other hand, with the progress of science and technology, knitted fabrics made of suits are more comfortable, and have gradually become a fashion trend of upper garment.

Taking account of the drier characteristics of Beijing in summer, the summer in London is more humid. The fabric used by the careful Olympic dress designer achieves a perfect balance in permeability, light weight and smoothness. At the same time, it has more than 10 times of water absorption and diffusivity than woven fabrics. Good draping makes it difficult to crease the seam of the garment. The shoulder, collar and waist of the garment are also made of spanparent adhesive tape for reinforcement, which not only loses natural elasticity, but also ensures the beauty of the costumes.

Using engineering fabrics to absorb sweat and sweat

Lining's "red scale" Olympic Games Match suit On the back of the garment, creative design of the scaly air hole "red scale window". Designers said that "red scale window" will automatically open according to the state of human muscle groups, and accelerate the natural circulation of air between the body and clothing. When the basic competition moves, the "red scale window" automatically closes, so that the athletes can reduce the heat loss, which is conducive to athletes' better physical fitness. Lining's match suit for badminton, table tennis and shooting team uses functional fabrics with lightweight, breathable and flexible LYCRA SPORT fabric as well as moisture and sweat functions of COOLMAX fabric. Nike has also launched a special engineering fabric Nike Aerographics for the Olympic Games. It has no seams on the shirt, and has a passive cooling function. It can effectively increase air flow while providing visual enjoyment. The Dry-Fit fabric of 3D structure helps to sweat quickly, avoid clothing sticking to the body, and the cotton velvet mesh inside the collar can further absorb sweat.

Dimple robe reduces aerodynamic drag.

Nike, the sports giant, recently released a new robe for the London Olympic Games - " Turbine speed "(The Pro TurboSpeed). The new robe is full of holes like turbines or dimples to further reduce aerodynamic drag. After thousands of hours of wind tunnel test, from a purely technical level, it can be increased by 0.023 seconds more than Nike's current sports robes 100 meters. The suit is comfortable, full of plastic, with external interface, and the skin does not feel the slightest friction. It is more conducive to athletes to create good results. It is also the most lightweight robe of Nike company.

Nike has designed a shirt for the Olympic Games with a sleeveless V collar trimmed contour, with a side vent and an improved sleeve hole, while tight design avoids bulky feeling and interference during action. The total weight of this jersey is only 400 grams, which is 58% lighter than that worn by basketball players in Beijing Olympic Games.

In addition, all the volunteer suits and Olympic torch relay packages provided by Adidas, 96% Olympic Village suits and training suits will use 165 new green and sustainable fabrics for the Olympic Games.

Sports brands focus on functional fabrics

From these Olympic robes, we can see that in the environment of the global sports power's increasing emphasis on the development of sports fabrics, the high-performance sportswear is becoming more and more functional, and tends to be more lightweight, durable, sweating, moisture absorption, sweating, easy to wash, fast drying and environmental protection. Sportswear plays a more and more important role in the process of maximally playing the potential of athletes, such as improving the comfort of clothing, reducing the risk of accidental injury or muscle damage, and reducing friction and resistance.

Fabric is very important for sportswear. Fabric is known as "the second layer skin of human body". Functional fabrics can protect the skin from external objects, and the texture of the fabric affects the comfort of the skin. All kinds of sportswear brands are more and more concerned about functional fabrics, and gradually used in clothing.

Perhaps soon after the London Olympic Games, we will be able to buy these products full of technological content in the mall, or they will become the darling of the market.
