Lava Long Distance Sleeveless Tri Top
When you're taking on Ironman distance events and beyond, you demand gear that matches your level of commitment. Over those grueling distances, every detail counts, and it's crucial to have a gear supplier as dedicated as you are.
ZONE3's multi-award-winning Lava collection has been the go-to choice for endurance athletes since its debut in 2013. Over the years, we've continuously researched and developed it to perfection. Now offering a comprehensive range of both male and female suits and separates, we've meticulously chosen premium Italian and French materials to deliver top-notch performance.
In endurance events, comfort reigns supreme. The Lava suit has undergone substantial enhancements, particularly in the upper body fabric. These improvements focus on improving breathability, temperature regulation, and providing unhindered freedom of movement.
- AERO-STRIPE – This innovative striped material from Italy graces the upper chest to elevate your aerodynamics. This textured UPF-50 fabric generates controlled turbulence along critical boundary layers during high-speed bike rides, effectively reducing drag and enhancing your race times.
- Aeroforce Soft-Touch - ZONE3’s revolutionary French woven fabric is prominently featured on the main front and back panels. It boasts an exceptional level of comfort against your skin while delivering top-tier technical performance. It's one of the priciest performance fabrics on the market, and once you experience it, you'll understand why.
Key benefits include:
- Exceptional breathability and moisture-wicking properties, ensuring optimal temperature control.
- Incredibly lightweight and quick-drying, all while maintaining durability and offering UPF 50+ protection.
- 360° stretch for unrestricted movement and comfort.
- A cutting-edge Nano water-repellent coating that reduces resistance both in and out of the water. This improvement in swim efficiency repels sweat and keeps you drier and warmer, even in rainy conditions.
Performance:
- Each fabric has been meticulously chosen and strategically positioned to boost performance, comfort, and endurance.
- Full front zip – This feature makes it easier and quicker to put on and take off the suits, allowing for full torso ventilation, especially in hot conditions.
- Heat Bonded Sleeves – For the perfect fit and added comfort, these sleeves are heat-bonded, reducing drag compared to traditional stitching.
- Length - Designed to slightly overlap with the Tri shorts, giving you the appearance of a full suit while maintaining the flexibility of wearing shorts and a top. The top also offers extended coverage at the back, crucial for the Aero position.
- Optical white color is predominantly used to help reflect the sun's heat.
Nutrition storage pockets: Conveniently located on the back, these pockets feature a heat-bonded cover for easy gel access during your bike or run.
Construction: ZONE3’s meticulous approach combines heat bonding, flat-lock stitching, and closed stitching to strike the perfect balance between comfort and speed.
Designed to complement the Lava Tri Shorts, this combination will help you achieve your best times with minimal discomfort. However, if you prefer full suits, ZONE3 also offer those as an option.
