Breath Thermo technology and Merino wool for superior performance
Breath Thermo, developed 30 years ago as a synthetic fabric that wicks moisture and generates warmth, is now enhanced by the integration of natural Merino fibers, offering a superior level of comfort and performance.
Chosen by Ski Team Sweden Alpine for Milan Cortina 2026
Mizuno’s new thermals have been selected by the Ski Team Sweden Alpine, which will wear them during competitions and training ahead of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Designed for extreme conditions, the garments offer warmth, freedom of movement, and optimal moisture management, ensuring consistent comfort even under pressure.
Natural benefits of Merino wool
Merino wool contributes with key characteristics:
- natural thermal regulation
- odor resistance
- lightness and breathability
- comfort even during prolonged efforts
These qualities make the garments ideal for both training and racing in cold environments.
