Lava Aero ¾ Sleeve Warmth Top
INTRODUCTION
The acclaimed Lava collection made its debut in 2013, meticulously crafted to cater to the specific needs of long-distance athletes. Garnering a stellar 92% rating, the Lava top and shorts earned the prestigious Triathlon 220 Magazine's Editor's Choice Award. Since then, the range has seen tremendous success among Ironman athletes participating in races across the globe.
Buoyed by the range's popularity, we've continued to expand and invest in research and development to ensure unrivaled performance and comfort. The attire you don during an Ironman event can profoundly impact your performance. Therefore, the Lava collection is engineered to be lightweight, exceptionally comfortable, supremely breathable, supportive, and highly functional. With novel fabrics and features, the latest iteration of the Lava collection is an absolute essential for anyone competing in long-distance events.
Aero Top
The Aero Top is a versatile piece of gear to have at your disposal. Event conditions can change swiftly, especially with the growing number of long-course triathlons occurring earlier and later in the season. This top is designed to help you tackle the elements head-on. Featuring 3/4 length sleeves and slightly thicker fabric compared to the rest of the Lava range, it boasts unique properties that make it suitable for warm-weather races and perfect as an extra layer or standalone attire in cooler or wet conditions.
Description
The top is crafted from ZONE3's Sensory Fabric, renowned for its multifaceted benefits:
- The fabric's incredible smoothness and softness against the skin ensure a delightful wearing experience throughout such an extended event.
- Its exceptional breathability and moisture-wicking properties help regulate your body temperature optimally. In warmer conditions, the fabric keeps you cool, especially when wet, while in cooler conditions, it effectively retains body warmth without compromising aerodynamics.
- ZONE3 recommend the Lava Tri Top for hot conditions, the Aero Top for temperate or changeable weather, and a combination of the Lava Tri suit or Tri Top with the Aero Top as the outer layer for cooler conditions.
- The fabric offers 360° stretch, providing unrestricted movement and unmatched comfort. Its optical white color helps reflect the sun's heat while offering robust UPF protection.
Key Features
- Aerodynamic fit: The panel design minimizes seams, featuring a higher front and lower back, ensuring superior comfort and coverage while in the aero position. ZONE3 recommend putting it on in T1 rather than wearing it during the swim.
- Nutrition storage: Maximized with spacious rear pockets, making it easy to stock up on nutrition and access it effortlessly while on the bike or run.
- Full front zipper: Allows for easy dressing and removal, as well as extra airflow and ventilation when needed.
