Rowing in Thermo°Cool™

 
During the Rowing World Cup in Lucerne and the World Rowing Championships in Poznan, New Wave Sportswear in Germany  - official FISA - Partner and manufacturer of functional shirts - will provide to all athletes Thermo°Cool™ garments for enhanced performance and thermoregulation. 

High endurance sports in hot and humid conditions are detrimental to both performance and athletes themselves. This has led in the market to an increasing interest in choosing Thermo°Cool™ garments, specifically designed to provide multifunctionality: evaporative cooling and thermobuffering, reducing the exposure impact with external temperatures, protecting the user from temperature changes.

 
New Wave Sportswear, based in Germany, has seen in Thermo°Cool™ garments the benefits optimizing body’s thermoregulation abilities, adapting to the needs of the athletes as needed in such demanding regattas. They will be providing functional shirts to all athletes at the Rowing World Cup and the World Rowing Championship. Fabric suppliers for the shirts is company Eschler, Germany and Switzerland.

Silvia Toledo of ADVANSA commented, “We are really excited that Thermo°Cool™ will be used in the collection for the events in Lucerne and in Poznan and hope it will contribute to the athlete’s success! We are convinced that the garments will offer them the maximum performance and best comfort.”

Thermo°Cool™ is the result of years of study on human thermoregulation from the privileged platform of profiled cross section products. It consists of a unique blend of fibres with a hollow core along with fibres with a channelled surface providing a dual functionality:  When the athlete is hot and perspiring, the fabric provides evaporative cooling, keeping the user cool and comfortable. When the athlete is cold and shivering, the fabric reduces the exposure impact with external temperatures, keeping the user warm and thermo regulated. For customers concerned about the environment, Thermo°Cool™ is also available in an ECO version that uses a polymer made from renewable resources, such as corn, instead of traditional petrochemical derivates.

Created in 1997, the Rowing World Cup is an international annual team competition, organised by FISA (the International Rowing Federation), comprising three international regattas per year held throughout the summer. At each regatta, the nation with the most points wins the Rowing World Cup Leading Nation Cup. A Rowing World Cup Champion is allocated in each boat class to the nation with the most points won in that boat class at all three regattas.
