Review for Louis Garneau Vorttice Aero Helmet

The Vorttice helmet is a true revolution in aerodynamic helmets designed to be faster than the competition. Unlike any other aero helmet, proven dimpled technology at the front of the helmets causes air to flow closely to the helmet. When hitting the “Vortex Generator” the air is accelerated again. Our unique “air intake” situated at the highest pressure point on the helmet directs the air along the 3 “evacuation channels”. When the cyclist is riding straight forward, the air must change direction to skirt around the helmet. Heat produced by the cyclist’s head is wicked out through the back. Designed to improve aerodynamic performance, the Vorttice lens is ventilated and included with the helmet. These unique features allow the athletes to go faster while spending less energy.DETAILS: Certifications: CPSC-ASTM-CE-AS 2063* Vents: 2 Weight: 15.9 oz/450 g In-Mold Construction Evacuation channels: Moisture evacuation channels provide better airflow and moisture wicking Golf ball effect: Texturized surface on the front of the helmet helps achieve better laminar airflow Spiderlock SL: Very light, the stabilizing system works jointly with the straps for a perfect fit. It can be easily tightened on the head using only one hand, thanks to its dented wheel Steplock divider: Cam locking device to quickly adjust strap position Vorttice lens included: Designed to improve aerodynamic performance and minimize fogging, it features UV 400 resistance Stickers included (5TO): Customize your helmet yourself, make it fit with your team clothes! SIZES: S: 61/2 – 7, 201/2 – 22 in, 52-56 cm M: 7 – 73/8, 22 – 231/4 in, 56-59 cm L: 73/8 – 73/4, 231/4 – 241/2 in, 59-62 cmWhen we build a helmet, we take into account airflow since the heat of the rider’s head must be evacuated in order to keep a good performance. Moisture channels are designed to let the air in at the front of the helmet through to the back to efficiently keep the head cool.Moisture channels provide better airflow and moisture wickingMade in PVC, it suits the Vortice helmet. It improves aerodynamics performance, reducing turbulence caused by the irregularities of the face. Available in clear (000), dark smoke (018), and brown (076).The fore part of the helmet constantly comes into conflict with air when the rider is moving. This is why the golf-ball effect is strategically positioned on the front. It creates controlled air disturbance to limit friction onto the helmet. Textured surface on front of the helmet to achieve better laminar airflow.Coming from the aeronautics industry, the Vortex generators assure an enhanced airflow, creating a vortex on top of the moving area. This technology has been made suitable for the helmet with help of a complex simulation software and significant engineering work. Combined to the golf-ball effect on the front, this technology provides an 11% improvement of the drag.

Review for Louis Garneau Men’s Comp Sleeveless Tri Top – 2019

Anyone familiar with the sport knows that when racing or training for a triathlon, every bit of energy is indispensable – it should go where it counts! The Sleeveless Tri Comp Top now comes in a more inclusive fit than ever, molds to the curves of the body perfectly to provide maximum muscle compression and excellent support to boost circulation and reduce fatigued caused by muscle vibration. Plus, the top’s hydrodynamic fit won’t slow you down as it reduces drag in the water. The chlorine-resistant fabric will maintain integrity when you’re training in a pool, and tri-specific seams minimize the possibility for chafing.FABRICS: Endurexx Square MeshDETAILS: Quick-drying Moisture management Chlorine-resistant 4-way stretchability Zipper: 21”/53.5 cm detachable Ergonomic Hydrodynamic Tri-specific anti-chafing seams placement Reflective logos at front and back Pocket system: 2 covered at back

Review for Castelli Women’s Free Tri Short – 2015

Thoroughly Engineered for race day PerformanceMeticulous preparation goes into your race day, and possibly even more into Castelli’s Free Tri products. We use eight different fabrics to make a men’s two piece suit, with every fabric, stitch and component carefully chosen and tested to make this suit fast yet functional for your next race. Free is fast thanks to the water-repellent fabrics that are also wind tunnel tested for on-bike speed. And Free helps you perform at your maximum by providing just right muscle support and keeping your body cool. Details are carefully thought out, like the Free aerodynamic yet high capacity pockets, Speed Hooks that can secure your jersey and prevent it from riding up during the swim and bike. The KISS³ anatomical seat pad that gives more padding than your traditional tri liner yet practically disappears on the run. Even the back fabrics shows the engineering in this garment: wind tunnel tested for on-bike speed, it also provides exceptional cooling while offering UPF 16 protection. That means that 94% of UV rays are blocked, providing a reasonable level of protection, but it can be combined with sunscreen for those with sensitive skin. We think it achieves a good balance between protection, cooling and outright speed. Instadry Speed Fabric is fast in the swim and doesn’t absorb water Free construction for great anatomic fit KISS³ Tri seat pad optimized for swim, bike and run Flatlock stitching GIRO³ gripper elastic Draw-cord waist
