“We are very excited to be sponsoring Emma and working with PROJECT Clothing and their brand ambassadors,” said Seth Casden, CEO of Hologenix, the maker of Celliant textile technology.

Triathlete ambassadors

Emma Jackson, alongside USA World Champion Gwen Jorgensen and Australia’s highest ranked triathlete Ryan Bailie, are an elite group of triathlete ambassadors at PROJECT Clothing.

Now fully recovered from injury and racing again, Jackson has firmly set her sights on qualifying for next year’s Olympic Games in Rio. Jackson, Jorgensen and Bailie all competed recently in the ITU World Triathlon Series Grand Final in Chicago where Jorgensen was crowned back to back World Champion after winning her 12th straight race which completed a perfect undefeated season.

Positive feedback

“We are very particular who we approach to be ambassadors for our brand,” said PROJECT Founder and Managing Director Graeme Clarke. “Emma was always on our radar as she consistently performs at a high standard and is a great communicator, which is imperative when you are constantly testing new fabrics and technologies.

“Both Emma and Gwen enjoy the benefits of having Celliant technology in our products,” said Clarke. “With both the girls racing and training all over the globe, it is imperative they have access to interactive fabrics to help speed recovery and provide heat benefits in all conditions. Currently our athletes have tights, long sleeve run T’s and puffer vests all with Celliant and the feedback has been excellent.”

Celliant technology

PROJECT Clothing incorporates award-winning Celliant technology that is designed to harness and recycle the body's natural energy in a form of heat.

Celliant utilizes a proprietary mineral matrix that's embedded into the core of the yarn. Celliant's science is based in physics and biochemistry; heat is transferred into infrared light (IR), which is absorbed into the body.

The result is said to be superior muscle performance, faster recovery, improved thermal regulation and a more restorative sleep. Celliant’s technology is ideally suited for the extreme demands of outdoor sport applications in both summer and winter clothing, and an array of hard goods, the company reports.

PROJECT Clothing

PROJECT Clothing produces technical performance apparel for a wide range of sports and athletes. The Founder and Managing Director, Graeme Clarke, with years of producing technical performance wear for triathletes and runners has developed PROJECT Clothing to bring active innovations in apparel to summer and winter sports and the broader outdoor industry.
