FAQs
What makes the Activate+ Trisuit sustainable?
The suit is crafted entirely from 100% recycled performance materials, including the chamois and silicone grippers, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing quality.
How do the Aerostripe sleeves improve performance?
The Aerostripe fabric is designed to enhance airflow over the sleeves and reduce aerodynamic drag, leading to a more efficient and faster cycling performance.
Can I wear this for training as well as racing?
Yes, the durable recycled fabrics and compression features make it suitable for regular training. However, its design is optimized for the demands of a triathlon race.
How should I care for my trisuit to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, and hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing. Rinsing after each use is recommended.
What is the purpose of the Tri-Lite pad?
The Tri-Lite pad is specifically designed to provide targeted comfort and support across the swim, bike, and run disciplines, minimizing discomfort during long-distance efforts.
Are the silicone leg grippers comfortable?
Yes, the recycled silicone UFO leg grippers are designed to provide a secure fit that prevents ride-up while remaining comfortable against the skin.
What are the benefits of the targeted compression panels?
The lower-body compression panels aid in muscle stability, improve shape retention, and promote a streamlined fit, which can help reduce fatigue and enhance performance.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider the larger size for a more relaxed fit, though this might slightly impact aerodynamic benefits.
Chafing or irritation
Verify the suit is the correct size and not too loose. Ensure all seams are lying flat against the skin. If irritation persists, consider using a thin layer of anti-chafing balm in sensitive areas.
Leg grippers are not staying in place
Ensure the leg grippers are positioned correctly on clean, dry skin. Make sure there is no lotion or sweat interfering with their grip. The grippers are designed to be snug; some initial pressure is normal.
Reduced breathability or overheating
Utilize the front zipper for increased ventilation, especially during the run or on climbs. Ensure the suit is clean, as dirt and sweat buildup can reduce fabric breathability.
