CW-X EXPANDS COLD WEATHER INSULATOR LINE FOR FALL ‘09

New Tights and Tops Added Across Several Categories

NEW YORK, N.Y. (Dec. 5, 2008) – The Wacoal Sports Science Corporation, makers of CW-X® Conditioning Wear (www.cw-x.com), continue to expand their collection of performance-enhancing Conditioning Wear for the colder months. The new Insulator Zip Vest, 3/4-length tights, long-sleeve crew neck top, and Cold Weather bra will be available starting in August 2009, along with a new Support Top for women and color updates in the Pro, PerformX, VersatX and LiteFit lines.

The CW-X Insulator collection features Auto-Sensor, a quick-dry, breathable fabric with tuned temperature regulation that maintains a constant comfortable surface temperature under a variety of weather conditions. Antibacterial fabric freshness is provided through titanium and silver fiber technology, and U.V. protection is rated at UPF 50+.

The new 3/4-length Insulator Stabilyx Tights have an articulated back to block snow, and a windproof, water repellent DiAPLEX front panel, as well as patented Conditioning Web targeted support for accelerated muscle recovery (sug. ret. $98).

The Insulator Zip Vest, in male and female specific silhouettes, has flat seam construction, four-way stretch for comfort, and a locking zip collar with a wind flap (sug. ret. $75). The tights and vest can be worn as a high performance support base layer or as an outer layer depending upon temperatures and conditions.

New tops for men and women include the long-sleeved Insulator Crew Neck (sug. ret. $82), and two new women-specific tops. The Insulator Cold Weather bra offers the same features and patented Targeted Support technology as the CW-X Sport Support bra, but now with Auto-Sensor to keep out the winter chill (sug. ret. $45). The camisole length Ventilator Support Top features a built-in Soft Support bra with moisture-wicking Coolmax fabric and a Healtha+ mesh back panel for breathability and comfort (sug. ret. $58).

Also new for Fall ’09 are the black/periwinkle women’s PerformX Tights (sug. ret. $65) and black/rose pink VersatX Capri (sug. ret. $70), all-black Stabilyx Tights (sug. ret. $98) and black Pro Tights with blue Conditioning Web (sug. ret. $97). The long-sleeved VersatX Web Top will be offered in white and light grey for men and women (sug. ret. $90), and the long-sleeved LiteFit Zip-T will be available in bluestone (men’s) and aqua (women’s) (sug. ret. $60).
