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.

Review for DeSoto T1 First Wave Concept 5 Pullover Wetsuit – 2019

The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offer more comfort and less restriction. Because the top and bottom are not attached, you have much more freedom of movement and there is no “torso-rubber stretch” or shoulder fatigue that occurs with one-piece wetsuits. All T1 models are sold as separates for a more customized and personal fit. With up to seven sizes of tops and bottoms, you have 49 possible size combinations from which to choose. Other features we innovated many years ago include lower necklines and thicker rubber in the legs and hips to help float the largest bones and muscles in the body. More floatation here means more speed. T1 Wetsuits are not filled with gimmicks, just physics.If your arms are bigger, you’d swim faster! If you could float more, you’d swim faster! This pullover incorporates both concepts and is legal in WTC & USAT events. T1 First Wave Concept 5 and T1 First Wave Pullovers are identical with the exception of the sleeve thickness. Concept 5 has 5 mm sleeves and First wave has 2mm sleeves. The difference is like adding about 3-4 additional fingers of surface area to each hand. The best way to see how significant that difference would be is to try swimming with just one or two of your fingers open and the others bent down.Whether you like to swim for exercise or are on the swim course of a Triathlon, T1 Wetsuits offer you speed, comfort and buoyancy that will make swimming pure pleasurNew Features: Zipper is lighter weight and corrosion resistant Less-toxic bonding agent for people with skin sensitivitiesFavorite Features Remain: Flexible 2mm body and 5mm arms with a lower neckline for comfort. BIO-STROKE design puts your arms into a forward rotated shoulder position for a more efficient swim stroke. YKK custom zipper is small, lightweight, and makes removal easier than ever. GreenGoma #9 Rubber with Super Composite Skin makes the First Wave the warmest, fastest, most durable, flexible, buoyant, and the most comfortable wetsuit in the world today. Lined with 4-Way stretch Nylon Lycra for comfort and to minimize chafing Seams are glued and blind-stitched, making them more durable than the rubber itself Sleek graphics, no gimmicks Sold as separates for a true customized fit Chlorine resistant treatment, but not recommend for repeated use in chlorinated water.

Review for Orca Men’s Predator Wetsuit – 2019

After 25 years of innovation in the triathlon industry, Orca is launching its most advanced wetsuit ever. The new Predator is ideal for swimmers who are seeking the perfect balance between buoyancy and flexibility. Designed for the Total Swimmer, it achieves the highest possible efficiency by pinpointing buoyancy in your legs and providing flexibility in your upper body. It elevates your hip to correctly position your entire body, reducing hydrodynamic restriction as much as possible. The most advanced technology for greater performance. 0.88 Free technology was developed with Yamamoto exclusively for Orca, with the goal of creating the most elastic material on the market today. The finest neoprene on the market is 0.5 mm thick and combines the best lining with a titanium coating for better thermal insulation. Exo-Lift is a sandwich-type construction which combines a neoprene layer, Aerodome technology and a third interior layer of neoprene which is treated specifically to make the Predator even more durable, achieving maximum buoyancy and 0% water absorption. Core Lateral Stabilzer – CLS is a panel that provides lateral rigidity to the abdomen to strengthen your core and prevent twisting. This technology helps you to maintain an effective technique for longer, thanks to its 5-mm thick side panels. Yamamoto 44 – This material, exclusive to Orca, is Yamamoto’s most elastic neoprene with a 1.5-mm thickness. This Flexibility material allows for a smaller zipper to be used than on the rest of the wetsuits on the market. This smaller closure causes less restriction and improves the product’s water impermeability. Nano Ice – This innovative technology, exclusively from Orca, provides a low friction coefficient and ensures optimal hydrodynamics. Aerodome – This new technology applied to the lower trunk area provides 30% greater buoyancy for swimmers. The secret lies in its composition: hundreds of cavities located between two layers of previously treated neoprene. Unlike the Exo-lift, the inner layer of this material is made up of a high-quality lining that gives the wetsuit greater elasticity. Orca uses this material in the areas with the greatest body weight to raise you up to an optimal position in the water. HydroLite – The HydroLite panels help the wetsuit come of 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.
