ISPO AWARDS

With the ISPO Award, the internationally leading sports business network ISPO honors the outstanding products of the sports industry every year. Independent expert juries evaluate several hundred submissions according to precisely defined criteria, even from non-exhibitors at ISPO trade fairs. This top-class selection is a welcome orientation aid for both sports business professionals and consumers. This selection thus serves the specialist trade as a basis for decision-making when putting together the next range and the consumer increasingly as a purchasing argument. Both trust the neutral judgment of the jury.

I-THERMIC BASE LAYER

DUALDRY WATERPROOF JACKET

 

SEGMENT: Outdoor

CATEGORY: Base layer

JURY STATEMENT:

"The ODLO I-Thermic is a wearable that you can slip into. The seamless circular knitted lightweight baselayer not only lies comfortably on the skin and quickly wicks away moisture - it is also designed to actively heat when needed. The Clim8 app, ISPO Award Winner 2019, permanently measures skin and outdoor temperature. The heating elements - wafer-thin woven-in copper wires - quickly provide warmth and comfort. Excellent technology; for this, the ODLO I-Thermic Base layer is ISPO Award Winner in the Outdoor Apparel segment in the Baselayer category."

JURY STATEMENT:

"The ODLO DUAL DRY ZEROWEIGHT WATERPROOF JACKET provides an innovative, flexible but water resistant layer and can be stored as a very small package.
