Review for Blue Seventy Women’s Helix Wetsuit

We’ve enhanced our flagship Helix wetsuit with subtle pattern refinements and considerable material improvements. This year our Helix suit is designed to further impress with unparalleled flexibility while strategic materials and panels maximize buoyancy throughout the suit. Our Torsional Stretch Technology has been further enhanced with functional design using A-Flex material in a swim specific multi-directional layout. Our now legendary reverse zipper not only ensures a more sure swim, and a quicker suit exit, but reduces the need for a traditionally bulky collar, improving your comfort and making it easier to sight. The 2mm textured Knee Flex panels assists with knee flexing by reducing bunching behind the knee and improving functionality. The tube construction in the lower leg, combines A-Flex material with a single seam to maximize the flexibility and promote a quick release from your suit in the transition. The buoyancy of this suit features a centralizing core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the swimmer.The 5mm chest thickness of the Helix uses two lateral panels that naturally and anatomically accentuates the lungs, producing the optimal amount of buoyancy for the swimmer in the upper body. The 5mm thick torso uses a core panel of Yamamoto aerodome material to deliver a maximal central buoyancy zone in the suit, keeping the hips high and promoting an efficient downhill swimming position. The 4mm Yamamoto 39 cell neoprene legs deliver the perfect blend of buoyancy without limiting drive from the kick. Reverse Zipper: quicker suit exit Knee Flex Panels: textured panels assist w/ flexibility and reduced bunching Single seam in the legs Buoyancy: 5-5-4, including buoyancy in torso for keeping the hips high and promoting an efficient downhill swimming position. Integrated chest panel 2mm neoprene with A-Flex material maximizes stretch during respiration and improves comfort. Textured forearm print on jersey allows the swimmer extra feel for the water and additional grip in the propulsion phase of the stroke. A-Flex inner jersey is laminated to ultra supple 40 cell neoprene to produce an incredibly flexible suit. This A-Flex is also used in: 1mm arms, 1mm arm gussets, 1.5mm TST panels, and 2mm back panel #39 Yamamoto Neoprene Female specific sizes: Ensure perfect fit (WXS-WLA)

There is an abundance of new features to improve comfort and functionality further and we hope this range will create a benchmark in the industry for the performance and quality which can be achieved, whilst keeping to an entry/mid-range price point. Not only do these garments perform brilliantly on the swim, cycle and run but they are also designed to look much more contemporary and stylish compared to other suits available on the market.This new collection is an update on the long standing Aquaflo range which was a 3 X ‘BEST BUY’ award winner from 220 Triathlon magazine. The collection is designed to improve speed, endurance and comfort offering top of the range features without the top of the range price-point. One of the highest rated Tri suits in the market is now better than ever. The suit is designed for speed across all three disciplines, together with optimum comfort and temperature control. It’s made using premium performance fabrics and the panel design has been developed through thousands of test sessions to ensure one of the best fitting products on the market. Aquaflois a fast and comfortable fabric. It is designed to give low levels of drag thanks to its water repellent Teflon coating. You will notice that when the fabric has water splashed on to it, it will bead up and flow straight off the suit. This hydrodynamic effect is maximised during the swim helping to achieve faster times. It also means less water is absorbed making the suit lighter and quicker to dry once on the bike. The suit is made from Xtra-Life Lycra which ensures great shape retention and comfort throughout the race. The main body of this range is made from a black or navy colour to ensure modesty and superior coverage. Balanced Compression is provided through the legs thanks to a carefully designed panel shape and the high denier rating of the Aquaflo fabric. This improves muscle support and helps to increase the blood flow away from the legs, therefore reducing the amount of lactic acid build up and helping to improve your endurance and stamina. Airflo – designed for optimum temperature control by allowing moisture to easily evaporate from the skin and help keep the body cool or warm depending on the conditions. The soft-touch feels extremely comfortable against the skin and the eyelet pattern also helps the fabric to dry quickly after the swim.

Premium Italian leg grippers New wider grippers give even pressure distribution and added comfort over the silicone style grippers. These are stitched to the bottom of the leg material rather than inside to create a more comfortable fit and do a fantastic job of preventing any movement during the cycle and run. Elastic Technology and binding gives a snug fit without any discomfort around the arms and neck lines. Also, new seam construction to prevent any chafing under the arm. Stylish Flat locked stitching Designed for maximum strength and minimum discomfort against the skin. Front semi-auto lock zipper for extra ventilation during the cycle or run.

Review for Giro Synthe Helmet – 2018

The Synthe is the pinnacle of road helmet design. It offers impressive cooling power, minimal weight, supreme fit and streamlined aerodynamic efficiency. It is a true synthesis of all features a modern rider wants in a high performance road racing helmet. The difference is clear in the wind tunnel-our extensive testing reveals that the Synthe is nearly as efficient as the fastest time trial helmets. But the Synthe’s greatest attributes are comfort and ventilation. At it’s heart you’ll find our Roc Loc Air fit system. Micro adjustments allow you to custom tune tension and fore-aft tilt with one hand and a patented design suspends the helmet over the top of the skull, allowing airflow to pass freely over your head. Cooling power is further boosted by elaborate internal channeling and a series of massive vents; the Synthe sets a new bar for ventilation. You no longer need to choose between aerodynamics and cooling power-with Synthe you get everything, all wrapped up in a compact and sleek silhouette.ROC LOC AIR FIT SYSTEMThis revolutionary fit system adds a new dimension to helmet performance by enhancing cooling, as well as fit comfort and stability. Using a patented design that suspends the helmet just slightly off the top of the skull, Roc Loc Air allows cool airflow to pass directly over your head, further enhancing the performance of vents and internal channeling that exhaust heat out of the helmet. Fit and feel adjustments mimic the Roc Loc 5, allowing you to easily custom tune fit tension and fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand.ROLL CAGE INTERNAL REINFORCEMENTRoll Cage is a light-yet-tough web of reinforcement invisibly molded inside a helmet’s EPS foam liner. It helps the helmet to hold together under impact, and provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you’ll never notice… unless you need it.WIND TUNNEL VENTILATIONGiro helmets are developed utilizing our proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system. This elaborate design combines active vents in the helmet’s shell with exhaust channels inside the helmet that thrust fresh, cool air over and around the rider’s head while forcing heat and stale air out. It’s the most effective cooling system available, and a difference you can feel every time you ride.X-STATIC PADDINGX-static Padding contains a fiber made with layers of pure silver that is permanently woven into the fabric. Silver has natural anit-microbial performance that helps to reduce odor and regulate heat, so your helmet stays fresh and comfortable naturally.FEATURES: Featherweight webbing with slimline buckle Ponytail Compatible In-mold polycarbonate shell with EPS liner Thermoformed SL reinforcement 26 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channeling Roc Loc Air fit system
