Olympic Wearable Tech! — Amy E. Goodman

I have been glued to the 2022 Winter Games in Bejing, and inspired by the feats of TEAM USA. Want to see what tech they’ve been using to prepare in training and in recovery to perform their very best? Check out these Wearable Tech items as shared with NBC ‘s TODAY show, host of the Winter Games!

Polo Ralph Lauren designed this Team USA 2022 Opening Ceremony Anorak with Skyscrape Intelligent Insulation—an innovative patented fabric that responds to changes in temperature. When it senses the temperature dropping, the insulation gently expands enabling more insulation and warmth within, without the use batteries or wires. While this anorak is sold out, you can find the same Intelligent Insulation in this blue jacket version ($598; ralphlauren.com).

The Smith Squad XL Google ($150; smithoptics.com) as worn by silver medalist skier in the Super G, Ryan Cochran Siegel, features Chromapop for heightened contrast and color—like viewing snow and ice in high def—a semi-rimless frame and a pliable frame that helps contour the face for a near-perfect fit. Available in 12 colorways, one of the ones we are featuring is a colorway only available to the Olympic athletes, and not for sale.

Oura Ring Gen3 (from $299, ouraring.com) is a favorite of snowboarder Jamie Anderson and is an advanced 24/7 health-tracking smart ring that can do daytime heart rate monitoring, sleep rate monitoring, temperature gauging…and new coming in 2022: workout heart rate monitoring. Available in four colors of silver, black, stealth and gold, it’s best worn on your index finger for optimal performance and accuracy.

From Norway, Odlo activewear baselayers ($100 each; aktivstyle.com) is a blend of Merino wool and other high-technical fabrics that work to keep you the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. It sports innovative ventilation zones for wicking and moisture managment, and is available in several attractive colors for both men and women. TEAM USA Nordic skier Rosie Brennan is a huge fan of these.

TEAM USA Bobsledder, Aja Evans, loves Jazz Band Vibe ($249; dnavibe.com) for its Intelligent Light Therapy that treats sore muscles and joint pain. It has four modalities including red light, near-infrared, magnetic signals and microvibrations that work to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow and oxygenation. Can be used before or after workout for about 20 minutes per session. A small strap helps for use around small joints like elbows, wrists and ankles, while a larger strap assists in use around shoulders and knees.

OOFOS Recovery Footwear (from $59.95; oofos.com) is a favorite of athletes for its OOfoam technology that absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear, which in turn reduces stress on joints, feet and and ankles. It comes in a wide variety of styles and colors . OOFOS recently partnered with the US Ski and Snowboard team, and is also beloved by TEAM USA skier Ashley Caldwell (pictured), who won gold in Mixed Team Ariels.
