Temps Tailored for Trail
Rossignol's new Sapa Collection, designed
for trail running, takes advantage of HeiQ
Smart Temp, a thermoregulating fabric
technology with the ability to dynamically
respond to body heat.
"Runners are typically in the mountains
where weather can change drastically from
start to finish. Since the thermoregulation
properties of Smart Temp react to a
person's body heat, it helps cool them
down when it's hot and conversely slows
down heat loss when temperatures drop,"
shares Chazz Ogden, category manager
for softgoods, Group Rossignol North
America. "is is a great application for
any stop-and-go sport, but because trail
running is particularly high intensity, it
makes perfect sense for that application,
which is why we decided to use it in
the Sapa collection." Ogden adds that
recycled polyester, the material of choice
in the Sapa collection, maintains the
same performance as virgin polyester.
"And then we go a step further by adding
HEIQ technologies to supercharge the
fabric performance." n
