This concept from Adidas AG integrates a sensor harness into a garment. The sensors can be used to track the wearer's heart rate, body temperature, respiration rate, hydration status, or other biometrics. The sensor data can be collected and displayed directly on a user's device or alternately a radio transmitter can send the data to a remote location for viewing and/or analysis. The sensor garment concept can be adapted to be used with a variety of garments such as vests, jerseys, tank tops, shorts, pants, socks, swimsuits, wetsuits and other suitable garments or apparel.
