FAQs

What is the main benefit of the set-in sleeves?

The set-in sleeves are designed to improve aerodynamics by reducing drag on the bike and also provide a more conventional fit compared to sleeveless or raglan sleeve designs.

How many hours of riding is the chamois suitable for?

The Elastic Interface® Super-Tri S chamois is recommended for rides up to 6 hours.

Can I use this suit for swimming and running, not just cycling?

Yes, this tri suit is specifically designed for all three disciplines of triathlon (swim, bike, run), offering comfort and performance across each sport.

How do I wash and care for my tri suit?

Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent. Do not tumble dry; hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid fabric softeners.

What is the purpose of the laser-cut drainage holes in the rear pockets?

These holes are designed to allow water to escape quickly from the pockets after swimming, preventing added weight and drag during the bike and run segments.

Is the compression level consistent throughout the suit?

No, the suit features controlled compression on the front fabric for quick-drying comfort, and a more substantial 200g compressive fabric on the lower half for enhanced muscle support.

What material is the suit primarily made from?

The main fabric is a blend of 85% polyamide and 15% elastane, with various contrast fabrics offering different properties like stretch and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the brand's sizing chart. The compressive fit is intentional for performance; try it on for a sustained period to acclimatize. If it genuinely impedes movement or causes pain, consider if a larger size is needed.

Chamois feels uncomfortable during cycling

The Elastic Interface® Super-Tri S chamois is designed for aero positions. Ensure the suit is pulled up correctly and the chamois is positioned properly. For very long rides, a dedicated cycling bib short might offer more padding, but this tri suit is optimized for multi-sport versatility.

Fabric is not drying quickly enough

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing. Air dry the suit completely after washing. During use, the quick-drying properties are most effective when the fabric is clean and free of residues.

Leg grippers are irritating or slipping

Ensure the raw-cut leg hem is positioned correctly on the thigh. If irritation occurs, ensure the skin underneath is clean and dry. The silicone gripper is designed to hold, so some initial pressure is normal. If it consistently slips, there might be an issue with the fit or the gripper's effectiveness on your skin type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a one-piece garment, so 'setup' primarily involves ensuring a proper fit. Try it on before your first race or key training session to confirm comfort and movement.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F).
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade performance fabrics.
Drying: Do NOT tumble dry. Hang the suit to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Ironing: Do not iron.
