Ice Lake Ii Ss Tee men's

Use:

• Perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities where heat and moisture management is crucial, allowing the user to stay comfortable during exploration.
• Ideal for use during summer days or in intense heat conditions, thanks to its advanced active cooling properties that combat high temperatures.
• Designed to keep the user cool, dry, and comfortable during intense physical exercise or any situation that causes sweating, improving performance and well-being.
• Can function as a versatile and lightweight technical first layer, suitable for a wide range of outdoor adventures and sports where thermoregulation is important.

Features:

• Incorporates Omni-Freeze ZERO Ice™ technology, an advanced cooling system that activates with sweat to reduce fabric temperature and provide an immediate cooling sensation.
• Features Omni-Wick™ technology, which effectively manages moisture by wicking sweat away from the body and facilitating its rapid evaporation, keeping the skin dry.
• Made as a technical t-shirt, optimized to offer high performance and comfort in physical activities and demanding conditions.
• Its design is focused on helping the user combat heat and stay cool efficiently, especially under the summer sun or in hot climates.
• Short-sleeve construction that provides excellent freedom of movement and contributes to better body ventilation.

Materials:

• The fabric is designed with Omni-Freeze ZERO Ice™ technology, which uses small blue rings embedded in the fabric that react with perspiration to actively lower the material's temperature, providing a noticeable cooling sensation in direct contact with the skin.
• The fabric integrates Omni-Wick™ technology, a high-performance moisture-wicking system that draws moisture away and disperses it quickly across the fabric's surface for accelerated evaporation, keeping the user consistently dry and comfortable during activity.
• The material is innovative and focused on providing a dual solution of active cooling and superior moisture management for optimized comfort in strenuous situations.
• Although the exact composition of the base fiber is not specified in the provided data, it is a high-performance textile specifically developed for activities in warm climates and to maximize user comfort during physical exertion.
