ADIDAS CLIMALITE

In workouts, there are plenty of things to focus on. Sweat shouldn’t be one of them. adidas Climalite fabric keeps you dry and regulates your body temperature, so you can keep your head in the game. The moisture-wicking technology in adidas Climalite shirts and accesories sweeps sweat away from your body, moving it to the surface of the fabric, where it’s quickly evaporated. Also preventing the growth of odor-causing bacteria, Climalite soccer jerseys and training tights keep things cool from head to toe, on or off the pitch.
