Review for DeSoto Women’s Shield Del Sol Long Sleeve Tri Top – 2016

Featuring three spinal pockets for ice or cold sponges, commonly available at aid stations.Made of De Soto Skin Cooler SDS, it blocks up to 90% of the sun’s (UVB) burning rays. The three spinal pockets might not make sense to someone who has not endured an Ironman distance or half Ironman distance in very hot weather. The pockets line up along your spine and are designed to help your body cool. Our Shirt is great for aid station ice, sponges, or for carrying gel packets. You might be used to only using the lower pocket of your current jersey, but you will quickly find the upper pocket to be great for carrying sunglasses, a cell phone or your mp3 player. The center pocket may require the help of the aid station or a bit more flexibility on the part of the wearer. The pockets are not designed to carry excessive weight such as water bottles, gel flasks, or any comparable weight.This is not a compression garment, yet it is supposed to fit snug, for aerodynamic purposes. Wear it over or under any triathlon top, triathlon suit, or cycling jersey. This garment is not designed for repeated use in a chlorinated pool.Skin Cooler SDS (Shield Del Sol)Blocks 90% of UVB rays – When the human body gets hot, it sweats to cool itself. In the past, other brands have tried to help that process by developing fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin and expedite evaporation. For over 10 years now, De Soto has taken this concept a step further by using that moisture to create a cooling effect. YES! WE WANT YOU WET. Skin Cooler works by a series of channels knitted into light fabric. As these channels get wet, they absorb moisture and swell, which dissipates the heat making the fabric against your skin actually cooler. How much cooler depends on factors including airflow, humidity, ambient temperature, and moisture temperature. When you sweat, the garment’s temperature drops and creates an actual cooling sensation. Skin Cooler SDS offers this cooling effect while offering even more sun protection.We always recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these products. It is crucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen’s SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation. Because we know that UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential for the health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and/or avobenzone.

Review for Orca Women’s S6 Sleeveless Wetsuit – 2018

The Sleeveless S6, like the version with sleeves, is the alternative to the 3.8 for Progressive Swimmers. This type of swimmer needs extra buoyancy , which is why the wetsuit is designed to elevate the triathlete’s position in the water, without neglecting the elasticity needed for the arm stroke. It’s the perfect tool so that the water transition doesn’t hold you back.SCS The SCS lining over the neoprene reduces friction and helps increase speed. Its microcell structure repels water and generates less restriction on the forward movement.Zero chafing The neck lining reduces friction and therefore the appearance of chafing. What’s more, the soft material improves contact with the skin, making it more pleasant to the touch.Buoyancy The S6 is intended to correct your position, raising it as much as possible. The 5-mm thick neoprene used on the hips and legs helps your lower trunk area stay on the surface at all times. The 3-mm thick panel on the chest prevents the body from twisting, which is typical of an incorrect breathing technique.Speed The Hydrolite made of 39-cell Yamamoto neoprene on the lower part of the legs make your transitions faster. Taking off your wetsuit is now easier than ever. Yamamoto Neoprene 39 Cell SCS – Super Composite Skin is the leading triathlon wetsuit coating because of its capacity to reduce friction and to provide the best possible in hydrodynamics. HydroLite – The HydroLite panels help the wetsuit come off easier, for faster transitions. This technology, combined with the SCS coating, helps the water slide off your wetsuit, without impregnating it, considerably improving your hydrodynamics. Infinity Skin – The inner Infinity Skin lining provides the feeling of absolute freedom. Designed based on a high-elasticity nylon that incorporates bamboo fibers, this technology is applied to the lining of our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with each stroke. This cloth maintains body heat longer, reduces body odor and the appearance of bacteria in your wetsuit. It is also made from natural eco-friendly materials to prevent the appearance of skin irritation and care for the environment.

Review for Zone3 Men’s Activate Plus Tri Top – 2019

Made from high quality Italian fabric for breathability, coverage and shape retention.The printed panels are complemented by a high powered Lycra Sport fabric on the front body of the singlet and leg panels on the matching shorts to maintain modesty and coverage rather than a fully printed suit (which might be a step too far).

The Tri Top is suitable for not only triathlon but also individual running, cycling and gym work.
