"They plan to continue using technology to create new garment styles and monitoring functionalities that enable health and well being."

Active women will appreciate the convenience and comfort of the NuMetrex bra, which frees them from the constraints of the heart-monitoring strap. Consumer wear testing was completed this past spring and showed an overwhelming preference for the comfort of the bra verses the incumbent strap, which tends to feel tight and binding and slips down during workouts.

The bra comes in white and blue, and the heart rate transmitter is easily transferable between NuMetrex bras. The bra uses an advanced seamless construction for second skin comfort and is made with quick drying nylon and LYCRA for superior performance.

The NuMetrex bra is available by itself or with a choice of transmitter and watches. The offering ranges in price from $45 for the bra on its own to $155 for a complete system including bra, transmitter and watch with an added calorie counter feature.

Textronics is a developer and producer of electro-textiles or "e-textiles," which are fabric systems that can conduct, warm, illuminate or sense. The company's unique technology portfolio uses the stretch and recovery properties of elastomeric materials to interact with electronic systems.
