In addition to introducing Team USA’s parade uniform during the opening ceremonies of the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games and the Summer Paralympics in July, US clothing brand Ralph Lauren unveiled a wearable self-regulating temperature cooling device, which was worn by the team’s flag bearer.
The RL Cooling system is seamlessly integrated into the garment and disperses heat from the wearer’s skin through a device that monitors and optimises temperature.
