This new line of t-shirt will become availalble from the 27th of August on the company's official website. Further if you ae living in the States, you can drop down at one of those flagship NYC stores or US Open Store in Flushing, New York.

The shirt comes with silver fibers woven into the fabric. This helps it to track heart rate, heart variability, breathing depth and recovery, intensity of movement, energy output, stress levels, steps taken, and calories burned. The wearer must also keep a "black box" device on their person to receive the data collected by the sensors and to capture the activity-related data since that's where the accelerometer sits. Then the data is transmitted to an iOS app called PoloTech running on an Apple Watch, iPhone, or iPod touch. Unfortunately the app is still not supported in Windows and Android Platforms.
