NuMetrex, a Textronics Inc brand, and lululemon athletica have teamed up to create a technically advanced running tank top that monitors heart rate.
Made of quick drying nylon/Lycra fabric, the Heartbeat Tank contains patented fabric sensors in the inner shelf bra giving the wearer direct feedback that includes the time spent exercising, calories burned, and heart rate performance.
A small pocket for a compatible snap-in transmitter is also in the shelf bra relaying the information to a compatible watch or cardio machine.
“This seamless garment is constructed for the athlete who is looking to monitor their heart rate without the traditional strap,” says Deanne Schweitzer, lululemon athletica Product Manager, “The tank top offers moderate bust support, wicking knit construction for moisture management and a smooth next-to-skin-fit that helps to prevent chafing making a more comfortable exercise experience.”
A high performance garment, the Heartbeat Tank maintains a feminine shape thanks to a mesh pattern designed from the lululemon athletica logo. Available in 3 colors (peacock blue, anise and black).
