Dynamic Thermal Cycling Tights
Engineered for athletes who demand year-round performance, these high-intensity training leggings combine moisture management with thermal retention. Ideal for mountain biking in variable weather or trail running during cooler seasons, the advanced HeatMaxx textile actively regulates body temperature while shielding skin from harmful UV rays.
Key Performance Layers
– ThermalCore Fabric: Dual-sided construction with interior microfiber loops that draw sweat away 3x faster than standard synthetics (lab-tested moisture-wicking performance)
– FlexGrid Spandex Blend: 14% premium spandex ensures 360° stretch without distortion during sprints or complex movements
– Seamless Comfort System: Flatlock seams hidden beneath flatlocking tape eliminate 92% of chafing points compared to standard seams (dermatologist-tested irritation reduction)
Safety & Grip Technology
– Reflective chevron patterns visible up to 300ft at night (ASTM F1891 compliant visibility)
– Silicone compression bands at mid-thigh provide secure positioning without restricting blood flow
– Military-grade DWR treatment repels light rain while maintaining breathability
