KNOW YOUR TECH breaks down the scientific technology used in your favorite sneakers and activewear. Let’s demystify your next purchase: today’s technology is Mizuno Breath Thermo. This technology was designed by the brand to provide runners and other athletes with a way to keep going strong when temperatures drop. Constructed with lightweight breathability in mind, Mizuno Breath Thermo is currently used in running and baseball apparel.

What is it? Mizuno Breath Thermo is a fiber that is directly knitted into apparel. Because it's actually part of the material and not a coating or treatment, Breath Thermo won't wear off or degrade over time.

How does it work? As you run and build sweat, Breath Thermo tech pulls the moisture from the body to keep you dry. From there, special fibers are activated to send heat back towards the body. 

Notable products: Mizuno Baseball Thermo Long Sleeve, Mizuno Breath Thermo Wool Crew Neck, Mizuno Breath Thermo Wind Top

Bottom line: Unless you're fortunate enough to live in an area with year-round warm weather, the colder temperatures are on their way sooner than you think. Suit up in apparel like Mizuno's Breath Thermo line to stay warm and comfortable during your activities.
