No More Adizero - All-New Adidas 2018 Kit Technologies - Climalite vs Climachill

Update #2: We have added pictures of the authentic and replica Adidas Manchester United 19-20 away kit versions, perfectly showing off what are the differences between the Climachill (authentic) and Climalite (replica) versions. Thanks to Nontawat.

Update: Unlike four years ago, when Adidas revealed all tech details of their new Adizero kit technology, the German brand did not announce very much details of their new Climachill kit technology. We have added the Climachill jersey features list as well as some new pictures to better show off the differences between the crests of the Adidas 2018 World Cup replica (Climalite) and authentic (Climachill) jerseys.

We take a detailed look at the new Adidas 2018 kit materials.

Climalite vs Climachill 2018 jersey technology.

The new Adidas Climalite replica 2018 Adidas jerseys are very similar, almost identical (classic Adidas kit material, stitched badges), while the authentic Adidas Climachill jerseys are totally different to the previous high-end Adidas Adizero kits.

The new authentic Adidas Climachill jerseys have a totally different, more plastic material, which is similar to the one of Nike's authentic kits. The Adidas logos and other brandings such as the Three Stripes are glued on the jerseys.

The authentic Adidas Climachill football kits not only have a completely different shirt material, they also have a completely different cut than the replica Climalite jerseys. The cut of the authentic Adidas Climachill jersey is elongated and tighter for a better fit.

The authentic Adidas 2018 World Cup kits featuring Adidas' Climachill kit technology retail at a price of 130 Euro, while the replica kit with Adidas' Climalite jersey technology has a retail price of 90 Euro.
