Exercising has become more and more popular among people of all ages lately, in order to prevent the numerous conditions that affect our organisms and to stay in shape, of course. However, there are only a few who have the guarantee that they perform their exercise routine properly, those who can afford a personal trainer to join them and guide them in the right direction.



The rest have as an only option sticking electrodes on their bodies, to check their heart rate and pulse. Or, at least, that's what they used to have to do, until now, that smart fabrics take the place of all these devices.



While shirts and tops with integrated textile sensors are available from Numetrex and Adidas, biker shorts using a textile sensor is a new and a great idea. Not only does it take away the very annoying chest-straps that rub the skin, Nalini placed the Polar transmitter on the back where it does not interfere with your action. The attachment of the Polar transmitter is done via simple snaps.



The Rododendro bib shorts' upper part is made of breathable mesh, reflecting materials on the back and rubberized bottom leg bands being some of the best features of the Rododendro bib shorts.



Nalini Rododendro bib shorts are part of the top line in the Nalini product range, developed based of the experiences of professional bikers. The use of innovative materials, a unique style and high tech heart-rate sensing technology makes these shorts an excellent example of ‘made in Italy’ sports fashion.



Nalini's innovation for 2008 - the Rododendro bib shorts with integrated electrodes and socket for Polar WearLink transmitters and high-quality UCN seat pad for maximum comfort are guaranteed to make your life easier. You can have them for approximately 190 US dollars ( without the Polar WearLink transmitter included, for which you'll have to fork out another sum).
