Nike’s winged vents autonomously adapt to wearer
Nike has unveiled a range of performance clothing with a venting system that autonomously adapts to the wearer, creating on-demand ventilation.
Aerogami features tiny winged vents that open as sweat builds against the skin, allowing better airflow and for sweat to escape.
When the body cools down and sweat dries, the vents close.
This capability comes from a moisture-reactive film applied to the vents that autonomously contracts and expands upon sensing sweat against the body.
The new Nike Run Division Aerogami Jacket features the venting system across the chest and back of the garment, allowing airflow to travel through the jacket as runners move.
Jahan Behbahany, senior apparel innovation product manager, said: “We know feeling too warm, uncomfortable and distracted while wearing a running jacket is a common challenge many runners face, so we’ve obsessed developing an innovative solution that gives them increased breathability without compromising style and protection. What’s great about this technology is not only can the athlete feel the benefit, but they can also see it.”
The jacket also features Storm-FIT ADV to help protect runners from wind and rain.
