The product that was chosen to be brought back to the future would be the Nike PreCool Vest. The Nike PreCool Vest is simply a vest that allows athletes to cool their working muscles down so that they can improve their performance to a better degree. This vest is used to cool down core body temperature so that athletes can compete at a better rate; with the core cooling, athletes can often last 21% longer than without it (NikeNews, 2008).
